    Giving part of your sovereign land over to Russia is now a requirement for joining NATO? Is that retroactive to all members?

      Oh, but surely giving Russia that territory will ensure peace for our time! Now go home and get a nice, quiet sleep.

      to be fair, he said it’s an option Ukraine could take.

      If US support stops because tango man gets back in, it could be the only option.

        the US is hardly the only country sending Ukraine a bunch of money and weapons. Germany has also been a major supporter— an historical irony I personally find delicious.

          The scale of the support provided is very different. While Germany and others have been provided support, I would be concerned if the USA was to withdraw theirs. It would take all other supporters doubling or tripling their aid to make up the loss. Not an impossible task but also not a small one.

      see my comment— this article, from headline to its firs two sentences, changes its story 3 times. it’s nonsense.

      the NATO SG merely suggested it at some discussion panel in Norway, and not even to any Ukrainians. It sounds like some dummy at Newsweek overheard something they didn’t understand and wrote some crappy clickbait article based on, basically, a bad idea someone floated.
