Hungary as well. Not to downplay US and Canada bullshit, but Hungary and Turkey, being quasi autocracies themselves, have really been fucking up attempts to make countries safer from Russian aggression.
I’d happily trade out Hungary and turkey for Ukraine, any day. Ukraine actually wants a better country for its citizens, those other two just want more power for their dictators
Agreed. But I don’t want the people of Hungary to be left out in the cold to future Russian aggression. They know better than to fuck with Turkey. But without either sharing a border with Russia, war is unlikely.
I think the solution is to change the rules on voting. NATO (and the EU for that matter) has too many members to keep going on the universal acceptance thing. The governments of Hungary and Turkey are going fascist. More countries could in the future with the worldwide rise of fascism.
I’m so tired of reading about Turkey or Hungary holding up something good.
Canada supports extending an invitation to Ukraine to join NATO and ultimately granting it full membership, Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly said in Montreal, according to Ukrinform.
Not sure why this guy said Canada is standing in the way of membership.
yeah, that ain’t gonna happen
Why not?
Accession to NATO usually requires border disputes to be resolved. Last I knew Canada, the US and Turkey were also standing in the way.

Wow shame on Canada!

Literally against their rules. Countries are not eligible if they are fighting an active war.
Did you read the article?
Special military operation, the aggressor denies it is a war or invasion, but I’m not sure how that affects NATO enrollment.
Theoretically, the idea would be that the joining of NATO would be part of ending the war. NATO could allow it if they wanted to.
The article says that membership would apply only after the war.
That rule is not an official rule and does not exist in NATO’s treaty. It is a guideline set by the Obama administration to appease Putin.
NATO membership is exactly the thing Ukraine needs right now, after Russia proved that military aid to Ukraine did not prevent them from invading.
