They are getting their Ass handed to them!It's a lip service. Ukraine still needs to meet the conditions and be approved by ALL members. Neither is going to happen. Zelensky can't even spin this as a victory for domestic propaganda.

It's pretty darn close to being "invited"
From the linked article -
NATO leaders opened the door a bit wider for Ukraine on Tuesday by offering it an accelerated path to membership and continued support while it's at war with Russia.
The decision by the 31-nation military alliance falls short of the clear pathway with timelines for acceptance that the government of President Volodomyr Zelenskyy has been demanding.
"We reaffirmed that Ukraine will become a member of NATO and agreed to remove the requirement for a membership action plan. This would change Ukraine's membership path from a two-step process to a one-step process," said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the conclusion of the summit's first day.
"We also made clear that we will issue an invitation for Ukraine to join NATO when allies agree and conditions are met. This is a strong package for Ukraine and a clear path towards its membership in NATO."

NATO approves ambitious defence plans: 300,000 troops on high readiness

NATO also moving to have 300k troops on high readiness alert.
Come on. You know exactly where things are going read between the lines and make a conclusion.
I think NATO will offer security guarantees to "western Ukraine" and will put up a no fly zone over some artificial boundary like the dnipo river or something similar. NATO is likely to say all the countries that had referendums to join Russia, Crimea, Donbas etc they won't touch but I am to the point I actually think NATO will come up with some cockamamie plan to get a foothold in the western half of the country.
......All for the love of UKRAINIAN MONEY AND TRYING TO HOLD Onto THE PONZI SCHEME AS LONG AS POSSIBLE AND WILLING TO DAMN THE WORLD TO DO SO.
Pretty much. I Know I aint gonna get nothing out of it
Won't be NATO.This clears the path to NATO entering the war if they choose to do so at some point. My guess is its leverage to bring Putin to the peace table.
Since the credibility of the west has been utterly destroyed and every promise made, broken, Its hard to imagine Putin even consider it .
If NATO steps in, it will escalate to nuclear war , no way around it Even conventional war at first will bring sub launched hypersonic cruise Missiles to NY Washington , make 911 look like a walk in the park . All for the love of Ukraine .
Probably right. The NATO thing may just be a pressure tacticWon't be NATO.
It would be another "coalition of the willing" like they put together for Desert Storm.
You don't need NATO, you just need it's bigger members. Nobody actually gives a shit what Greece, Turkey, etc want to do.
It would be another "coalition of the willing" like they put together for Desert Storm.
I think we're so close to "no fly zones" and that whole "we're not at war, just doing humanitarian police work" bullshit that I can smell it.Do Ya think the west will really do it?
Do Ya think the west will really do it?
100% I'm Expecting almost any hour or day they will announce "together with our partners we stand with Ukraine and want to seek a peaceful settlement to this conflict we are going to establish a no fly zone over the western half of Ukraine to allow unfettered humanitarian aid assistance blah blah blah. Literally I can see that speech any hour now. They have been slow playing their poker hand for a long time and it's almost time to call, the turn happend and the river is next. They are going to have to call or fold. We know what they're going to do.I think we're so close to "no fly zones" and that whole "we're not at war, just doing humanitarian police work" bullshit that I can smell it.
Unless those "conditions" include sending all evidence of the current administration's corruption, money laundering, illegal bioweapon research, and pay-for-play strong-arming, and the removal of the Biden puppet, forget it.No deadline but more or less said as soon as they "meet certain conditions" they will be granted membership
On August 2, 1990, Iraq invaded the independent nation of Kuwait. Within 5 days the United States began to deploy troops to the region. Ultimately, in response to United Nations Resolution 678, a coalition of 41 countries mobilized a force of almost 1 million soldiers, 700,000 of whom were U.S. troops. (See Appendix A for a list of participating countries and numbers of troops.)
How many soldiers did Germany have against Russia?
For the campaign against the Soviet Union, the Germans allotted almost 150 divisions containing a total of about three million men. Among those units were 19 panzer divisions, and in total the Barbarossa force had about 3,000 tanks, 7,000 artillery pieces, and 2,500 aircraft.
over the course of the war not at one timeRight, and in the second world war we had about 16 million men in the armed forces.
Nothing is the same as it was then.
