Prior to Putin's invasion NATO had repeatedly told Ukraine it had absolutely no chance whatsoever of even being considered for NATO membership for at least another 25 years.
Obviously all that changed the moment Putin decided to invade Ukraine......who's responsible for that senseless act of aggression?
And all its achieved is with the addition of Finland and Sweden into NATO is to increase Russia's border with NATO.
With hindsight perhaps not the best judgement call.
On a slightly different note; I sincerely hope Trump doesn't take the US out of NATO - it has proven its worth and value.
But I do agree that most other member nations need to increase their defence budget and contribute more.
I believe in this and its been tested by research, he who fucks nuns will later join the church.
