Both are failing at this miserably. I think it's dangerous to admit a country into the alliance during a conflict that has already begun. NATO has a way of preventing things from starting. But if they became a NATO country right now. The next shot fired into Ukraine by a Russian would require EVERY NATO COUNTRY to make a swift and painful attack on Russia. That could definitely cause a larger war. Ukraine has done an incredible job using their own people. We need to send them BIGGER PAYLOADS and UNTIE THE ROPES THAT ARE UNNECCESARILY STRANGLING THEM. It's gonna happen before the end of 2024 but it won't be the United States who provides the weapons. We are too cautious of escalation. But some other country (probably a NATO country) WILL provide weapons to Ukraine that can strike deep into Russian territory and cause a lot of damage and civilian death. This will infuriate Putin into ordering a retaliatory strike that other members of the Russian government fear will be a red line for NATO and they will remove him from office or assassinate him. And prevent those orders from going out.
