The North Atlantic Treaty Organization an intergovernmental military alliance between 30 member states – 28 European and two North American. After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the Ukrainian government repeatedly requested to be accepted into NATO as a member country. Ukraine’s NATO membership has long been a thorny subject in amongst U.S. government officials due to Article 5 of the alliance’s charter. Article 5 requires the U.S. to militarily defend any member-nation that comes under attack. NATO members countries fear that Ukraine’s immediate entry into NATO — which requires the unanimous approval of all 30 member-nations — would put the U.S. and Russia at war due to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine as well as its forced annexations announced in September 2022.

Yes, but after the war ends
@B5TY46G 3wks3W
As long as NATO exist it should be allowed to join. However i believe a new "NATO" should be built without USA.
@9NLKPW91yr1Y
This should be based on the potential geopolitical issues that may be caused. The expansion of NATO could result in a world war if not managed correctly.
@9NJM2QY1yr1Y
No, Russia have always maintained alliance borders whilst NATO have expanded to borders of them causing Russia to act aggressively
@95MDBRY3yrs3Y
Yes, but after the war is over
@B4RLHFC3mos3MO
Yes and Russia should relinquish it's claims in Ukraine and those lands fully seen as Ukrainian by all of the UN
@B455MX64mos4MO
No, there is too much corruption in Ukraine and anything which is decided should be after the war has ended as to avoid WW3.
@9SLFVD811mos11MO
Yes, on the condition that other members do not have to directly intervene into the current war, only conflicts comencing after the current war ends.
