It must..but it won’t..Turkey was a terrible mistake for NATO..for that matter the entry of many former eastern bloc countries changed Nato from the image many of us of a certain age have- a tank and air barrier to soviet attack ..it’s now a half political camel of an entity that’s fine for maneuvers and statistics and saves the US money and materiel/people..but rather useless when put to the test because there are too many separate agenda at play

Have a good well deserved holiday Diane. I agree with you completely. End this war now and NATO can do it. Or does the military industrial complex like to drag it on for its own profit making purposes? One has to wonder why this is dragging on when there is a solution.

Yes Ukraine should be admitted now. They have earned their place in the NATO sun. When you come back from your break, we need some good info on the cluster bomb virtue signalling from Canada and the disarmament NGOs campaign.

You are entitled to a rest, Diane......in a few words you have done more than all the bloggers, talking heads, and "experts" to shed light on the dirty little secret that all have been avoiding.

The world and its "Democrat Alliance" of 50+ nations should not have been sitting by for 500 days during which an evil force (dare I say "demonic"?) is allowed to bully, torment, and destroy a freedom-loving, talented, and peaceful, nation into extinction. Was it not as recently as 80 years ago that we thought we had seen the last of the "final solutions,,,,"? And now we stand by observing daily killings of innocent civilians and the ruination of a nation while withholding the means for them to fully defend themselves and eventually put this daily slaughter to an end.

Every day of hesitation is paid in blood and destruction.....blood and destruction that the U.S. and its allies would have had to risk at some point in the not-too-distant future.

There was an apparition in Fatima in 1917 in which the Blessed Virgin is alleged to have warned several Portuguese shepherd girls that - unless russia is "converted - she will "spread her evils" around the world. The Blessed Virgin used the word "russia" 3 times - not "communism" but "russia". The collapse of the USSR was part of that global "evil" but its russian heart keeps beating.

That picture with Mel encapsulates the entire war - while UKR gets hammered by a law-breaking, murderous leader who kills his own people who disapprove of his butchery - Ukr stands tall, tks for the support BUT has to follow unreasonable restrictions due to 'fear' - Biden, Micron top that list. If Boris Johnson was still in control of UK, Ukr would have those freaking fighter jets to close the freaking sky!!! Breath - breath - I'm so frustrated with NATO - can you tell?
