Lol. Since the breakup of the Soviet Union, Ukraine has strived to become a member of NATO. However, NATO has repeatedly declined Ukraine’s membership applications. There are a number of reasons why NATO has not allowed Ukraine to become a member.

First, Ukraine does not meet NATO’s membership criteria. One of the main requirements for membership is that a country must have strong democratic institutions. However, Ukraine has struggled with democratic reforms in recent years. For example, the country has faced allegations of corruption and election rigging.

Second, NATO is more of a peace organization and is concerned about Russia’s reaction to Ukraine’s membership. Russia has repeatedly opposed Ukraine’s membership and has threatened to retaliate if Ukraine is accepted into NATO. NATO does not want to provoke a conflict with Russia, especially given the current tensions between the two countries.

Finally, NATO does not believe that Ukraine is ready for membership. The alliance believes that Ukraine still has a lot of work to do in order to meet the membership criteria. Until Ukraine meets all of the requirements, NATO will not allow it to become a member. Understand now?
In few words , NATO doesn't want to face Russia by giving Ukraine membership , simple and short , they prefer to fight Russia through Ukraine , cause the day NATO engages Russia directly in a fight, it will be a war that will provoke the use of nuclear weapons , and that type of war will destroy planet earth

The west were busy making money through entertainment and enslaving Africa why Russia were busy molding weapons unknown to human. America and Israel are aware of this fact and it's one major reason Israel with open hands welcomed the Russia/Isreal war treaty.

Very pathetic I must tell you, just look at how poverty is dealing with Africans yet no tangible help from the West, but to give out millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine is no problem.
How much was Ukraine receiving in 2019, 2020 ?
Zilch.
If you want war aid, you need to start a war too!

Simply go to your elder brother which is Russia and apologize. What's there feeling James Bond and risking the lives of Ukrainians due to egotistical n self-deluded attitudes...... kpọnkpi joor

They’re not stubborn - they are now slaves who have sold their birthright and sovereignty. So, there’s basically nothing they can do apart from do as they are told. A mere pawn on the chessboard.

NATO countries have invested over $200billion in the war. And he who pays the piper calls the tune. They have no choice.

Anyway, these missiles are just mere PR stunt. Longer range but not more effective than some of the ones they already gave Ukraine. The aim to escalate and see if Putin will bite.

Man say the missiles are PR stunt 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. What would Putin do? Fire more missiles into Ukraine, like he isn't already doing so.
If NATO has spent $200B, how much Russia has spent??😂😂😂😂😂😂.

Except the US, no country is spending up to 200B in it's defense budget, so they would spend $200B on Ukraine? Don't you know the worth of money? How old are you?

UK and Russian proxy war should've taught corrupt Nigerians some lessons, but the reverse is the case.

Corrupt and fraudulent Nigerians keep piling up money and properties in the UK, out of hatred they have for this country.

One day, a minor disagreement with ensue and all their mansions, monies will be confiscated.

The Management of University College Hospital, Ibadan has commenced the denigration and devaluation of the humanity in its members of staff through an act of illegality to unduly milk staff(s) of the hospital. When the Management failed to find avenues to illegally deduct the salaries of its members of staff, it then established a department, Special Duties for the purpose of siphoning the salaries of members of staff as it has been discovered that the creation of the department was illegal and primarily meant to achieve this oblivious act laced with wicked intention. The Management after the establishment of the department mandated the department head to by whatever means be it crooked or hook generate revenue for the hospital while the illegal department is not a revenue generation centre. This order from the Management forced the Special Duties Department to come up with underhand dealings in collaboration with the Accounts department to secretly collate and then forward the collated names of members who do not have their identity cards on to the Accounts department for upward deduction of 5,000.00 monthly for a period of four years contrary to the provision in the constitution. The Management in its draconian method of illegal revenue generation is further pressurising these departments toward achieving the revenue target. But in line with the recent judgment of the Fedral High Court, Abuja against the NBC that the NBC lacks the constitution powe to level fine on any media organization. The Federal government, National Assembly, Civil society groups and the NLC are hereby call upon as a matter of urgency call the Management of UCH, Ibadan to order in this its illegal act of surreptitiously maltreating the hapless members of staff of the hospital by subjecting them to excruciating untold hardship. This action of the management will certainly reduced the purchasing power of staff and further compound their economic woe in the face of present economic and social reality in the country. In addition, there is no law either in the Public Service Rules, UCH established law and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that mandate the UCH management to deduct this illegal 5,000 monthly from the salaries of its member for whatever reason. This action is wicked tyranic and dictatorial in nature.

If you ask me, Putin isn't totally serious with them because if he means it, 7days is okay..

Obviously, but looking at it with all the information available now - it would be foolish and suicidal since that’s what NATO wanted him to do.

Remember the now infamous quote from American Gen. Mark Milley that Russia will take Ukraine in a matter of days that has now been falsely credited to Russia? That was the plan by NATO, so Russia would get bogged down whilst losing most of its military assets and depleting its main forces.

But Putin just decided that Bleep that - it’s better to lure Ukraine out and destroy all their forces in a meat grinder with Wagner while Russian forces are kept intact. Then fight the economic and geopolitical war concurrently whilst forming a new alliance led by China.

And in hindsight - that strategy is paying off. They have pulled out a few borderline miracles in MENA with the alliances. Syria is back in Arab league. Saudi Arabia and Iran now have bilateral relations. Etc.

Taking Ukraine in 7days wouldn’t have made this possible. Ukraine would most likely end up as the last piece of the puzzle.
