Bits Of Interest From The War In Ukraine (Moon of Alabama): In two draft treaties, which Russia had sent to the U.S. and EU in December, it demanded written declarations that the Ukraine would never join NATO. The U.S. and the EU publicly rejected that demand. It was a major reason for Russia to start its intervention. Consider the above in light of this interview Zelensky gave yesterday to CNN. He said:
💬 I requested them personally to say directly that we are going to accept you into NATO in a year or two or five. Just say it directly and clearly or just say no, and the response was very clear, you are not going to be a NATO or E.U. member, but publicly the doors will remain open.
The cowards just didn't want to say it publicly, even as it could have avoided a war.
