You're not suggesting NATO saying "sure let's talk about membership" and Russia INVADING a country is the same but different "magnitude"? It's up to Ukraine if they want to pursue NATO membership or any other agreement with any country or organization. Russia has no say. It's not a negotiation between NATO and Russia. Russia isn't at the table. They can pine for old USSR glory all they want but nobody else wants that. And the way Putin's been killing journalists and dissidents (in the UK no less), raiding the treasury, annexing Crimea, and other nonsense, I don't see them being invited to many negotiations in the future.

> Russia has no say. It's not a negotiation between NATO and Russia. Russia isn't at the table Well that attitude brought us to that point. Russia thinks that it should be at the table and it can prove it. > And the way Putin's been killing journalists and dissidents (in the UK no less), raiding the treasury, annexing Crimea, and other nonsense, I don't see them being invited to many negotiations in the future. Turkey is NATO member, do you know anything about Erdogan deeds? Or maybe that story when Saudi Prince DISMEMBERED that journalist in embassy and everyone were okay with it?

And it will leave with a bloody face. > Or maybe that story when Saudi Prince DISMEMBERED that journalist in embassy and everyone were okay with it? What have you been smoking? That blew up in MBS's face and lost billions in investments.
