Ukraine should have been awarded NATO membership when they surrendered what was the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world in exchange for security guarantees America and the West have unequivocally failed to uphold.

As things currently stand I think Ukraine needs to develop their own nuclear deterrent. I have never been so ashamed of America as I am right now.

Back when that treaty was signed, I had grave reservations. I wish I had been wrong, Viktor. I agree with Child In Time.

Read this, and you will realise NATO was already corrupt, and you’re barking up the wrong tree.

Here’s your security guarantee.

The tabling of 1 simple resolution away

Putin can't invade without a veto.

NO state will vote to violate the UN charter AND give a terrorist state power over ITSELF and the only organisation which can protect it.

Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes! 🇱🇹💛🇺🇦 Ukraine should have been part of NATO a long time ago. It is a pity that not all European leaders understood this. Maybe now will open their eyes to the fact that decisive action is needed. Europe is not weak, if we join forces against a common enemy, we will win! The russians will capitulate one way or another, they are a degraded nation. How much damage it has done to many nations over the centuries. Russia is a terorist state.

I totally agree. Ukraine belongs in NATO sooner rather than later. It's time.

I used to be proud of my country, the USA. After our country sided with Russia today in the UN, I can absolutely say that I’m not. I don’t even recognize the US anymore.

But there are many people still in this country that still support Ukraine! We know who invaded your country and we know that your President is not a dictator. We know Ukraine should be in the UN! We admire you for your bravery and love for your country!

Oops, of course Ukraine should be a NATO member. Thank you for your bravery and continuing to post. I’m now contributing to Razom.

Victor, it truly is inexcusable that elected leaders around the globe do not see what a stellar partner you are. The strength, resilience, grit and determination of Ukrainians is unparalleled. Had Krasnov kept his promise to OUR ALLY you would be celebrating this day, instead. We here in the US mourn with you and stand with you. Many protests going on, I hope they’ll move the needle🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Yes, that’s a great point. It seems excessively long, and wrong.

To me, it feels really off that they have such a difficulty letting them in. I always wonder what goes on behind the scenes on this.

Yes, the Ukraine should be a member of Nato and of the European Union. You belong there more than Russia and the USA in their actual state.

And Viktor, thank you for telling us all what it really means to be in a war against an aggressor and for your bravery. 💙💛

My heart breaks 💔 for all the people of Ukraine‼️ The majority of Americans are still in shock about the new government regime here. Those of us who knew what Trump would do, did not vote for him. I believe some that voted for him bought all his lies during the campaign. Then there’s the MAGA cult. They are tickled pink by this turn of events.

Unfortunately, until these people that voted for him are directly impacted in a negative way, they will not raise up against the current facist regime.

I wish there was better news for Ukraine and for us, most of the America’s citizens. Many of us feel so embarrassed and outraged because of Trump!

I’m hoping Europe and other democracies can step in to help save Ukraine 🇺🇦

Viktor, I think you just solved a technical distribution issue for me. Thank you. I will read that book and review it after I get past a lecture later this week.

I have friends right on your border in Poland, and more in Kharkiv and Kyiv. NATO or an equivalent without the US traitors for sure. Or the nightmares won't go away.
