The Risks and Illusions of Ukraine's NATO Membership
TL;DR Summary
President Joe Biden's promise to admit Ukraine into NATO after the war could have dangerous consequences. It may prolong the conflict and make peace negotiations more difficult, as Putin may refuse to agree to a settlement if Ukraine's NATO membership is predetermined. Furthermore, if Ukraine becomes a NATO member, Putin may still invade the country, potentially leading to a third world war. This goes against an America First approach and the desire to avoid unnecessary wars. Instead, experts suggest a ceasefire and peace talks, while NATO should focus on arming and fortifying Ukraine to deter future Russian aggression.
