Who wants this trade? Does NATO want him gone? Who benefits?

Trump keeps bitching about elections being postponed because of martial law. Because the Ukrainians don’t want polling places to be targets and Russia to try to interfere in other ways.

You have to be high as hell to think Ukraine would ever be in NATO at this point. All NATO countries would have to agree to start WW3.

Actions speak louder than words, and I believe Zelenskyy would. Great example of leadership.

Something like yesterday or so General Secretary of NATO said membership for Ukraine was never proposed. So it's just empty posturing on the side of Zelensky.

"Empty posturing" is a very cynical and cruel way to frame it. What would you have Zelensky do instead? Quietly let Putin and Trump divide his country up?

It's not enough cynical and cruel for this bastard. Only a pity that the US imperialism again ruined another country and again killed a million people or so. A lot of people were warning this is how it's gonna end and lo and behold, cassandra curse again worked.

The US will dispose of him well before that ever happens. He has outlived his usefulness to US empire.

Are we going to repost this every day now? I've seen like ten sources here covering this.

I posted this 2 days ago when it was new. I posted it because someone else posted a paywalled article and this was open to all.

Completely meaningless given that NATO requires unanimous agreement by all the existing members. Everybody knows that this will never happen, so basically what he's saying is that he'll cling on to power.

so basically what he’s saying is that he’ll cling on to power.

I find this to be a disingenuous framing. He clearly made that comment in service to the greater good of Ukraine, and I don't know how being the leader of a nation facing imperial domination and constant war and death is something anyone would want to 'cling' to other than out of a sense of duty to the people he is representing.
