NATO Announces They Will Not Fight for
Ukraine on the Ground or in the Air —
Rejects No-Fly Zone (Video)

Original Article

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg announced on Friday the alliance of Western nations will not fight for Ukraine. NATO will not send in ground troops and will not close the Ukrainian air space.Whatever promises were made to Zelensky and the Ukrainians in the past were just tossed out a window. Reuters reported: NATO allies rejected Ukraine’s demand for no-fly zones on Friday, saying they were increasing support but that stepping in directly would lead to a broader, even more brutal European war so far limited to Russia’s assault on its neighbour.

NATO has existed since the fall of the Soviet Union for 2 reasons: To create lousy excuses for NOT defending member nations. To ensure the Generals uniforms are shiny and new.

The West, like the American government cannot be trusted. As I recall, under Clinton, Ukraine was promised that they would be protected if they would give up their nukes. Ukraine dumbly believed Clinton.

We are seeing how far NATO will go. They won't start WW 3. NATO will include former members of the Warsaw pact, but not members of the former USSR. Ukraine is on its own militarily. They always were. Ukraine isn't a member of NATO, btw. All that remains is to see if Ukraine can defeat Russia on its own. Wouldn't bet on it.

#1: I knew an officer who was pressed on an elite command by the Army. He was coming back to the US after a NATO assignment. The alternative definition of NATO was/is No Action Talk Only. Sounds appropriate.

Ukraine is not part of NATO... That is some of why Putin was forced to defend his homeland. NATO was pushing Ukraine to join thereby allowing missiles pointed at Russia. Having access to the natural resources and convincing Ukraine to go along with the Great Reset. Putin had no choice and they knew he had no choice. NATO is the bad guy.

Biden, Putin, and Zelensky. Don't see any good guys here. Only bad guys. Leadership, worldwide, is mostly comprised of thieves. If the US, Russia, and Ukraine had competent honest leadership, none of this would have happened.

There was a man named Hitler who wanted to conquer the world;. But he first had to test the waters, so he invaded the Saarland, and waited to see what other European countries would do. The other countries did nothing. And Hitler heard their silence, and proceeded. How did that all work out? I forget.

GOOD! Ukraine is not a member of NATO. Never was and until Putin screwed up likely never would have been. NATO has zero responsibility for protecting some random Eastern European Kleptocracy. I say not one drop of free people's blood for kleptocracy. Remember, Ukraine is nothing more than the Bank Of Biden. We have zero strategic interest there. Let's sell weapons cheap to them to give Putin a bloody nose but I am adamantly opposed to sending real people there to die for no reason that has anything to do with us. Let the Ukrainian and Russian people solve their own issues. No matter how it plays out it doesn't matter at all to us. I am glad some people with sense are in charge somewhere and decisions are not being made by the chicken hawk cowards in the Biden state department who never saw a war they didn't like. The only reason we have to go in is Joe's puppet masters hoping it would boost his poll numbers.

I just don't look at the Gov't or leadership and whether they are corrupt or not, I look at the People of Ukraine and how this is awful for them. IF you say "they elected ... so die with your decision," Well I didn't vote for Biden and I sure as hell do not support anything he does or says, however I'm screwed because of his idiotic decisions. A country is more than their leaders, whether they were "really elected" or not.

No desire to win nor lose and contended not to bring suffering and hard ship that full fledged War will bring upon their own. They love Peace at all cost. Putin sees that there are political and economic forces out there such as NWO Globalists wanting NATO to absorb Ukraine as an Allie and Putin will not allow defensive/offensive missiles on its 1,000 mile long border to be Poking the Bear! Regime Change in the Ukraine is in order.

#3 - Read the Budapest Memorandum. No one ever promised Ukraine anything but, if aggressive action was taken, that the matter would be referred to the world authorities, like the UN. What was also "promised" the collapsing USSR was that NATO would not expand into the Warsaw Pact countries. NATO promptly broke that pledge, too. And with this fiasco, NATO shows its bare butt to the world. It is a feckless alliance that depends on the USA for its defense umbrella, minimizing their own expense in their own defense. It's time to break up the band, and let the Euros deal with Russia. Washington warned us 220 years ago about permanent alliances (almost 75 years of NATO) and involvement in foreign intrigues (Ukraine). Time to start listening and heeding his message.

Ok ... I get it. The Ukraine is not a member of NATO and the White Russians have been fighting the Red Russians for over a century. We have no dog in the fight --- as of now. Fair enough. But the definition of "North Atlantic" has been pulled pretty far and wide when you include Greece, Turkey, Italy, etc. (I thought that was the Mediterranean?) or even Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia (the Baltic) and then Norway and Denmark (The North Sea). That's alot of seas! Basically, it was meant to intimidate the Ruskies by having the elder big brother (Uncle Sam) stand behind the little brother in the schoolyard. Only little brother gives zero in terms of his own defense! NATO could say WE won't fight collectively but we encourage individual members to help in any way they can. Be more than a paper tiger for goodness sake!

Now you know why European NATO countries did not want Ukraine to become a NATO member. They knew Putin would pull a stunt like this, and they also knew their countries where not prepared to defend themselves let alone any other NATO countries. Trump knew it too. Which is why he called out the countries in Europe to meet their obligations as NATO members. All of these European countries have been looking to the U.S. and the American taxpayer to cover the cost of protecting their countries, so they could live the good life and have a month off for vacation every year.

NATO should never have pushed right up to the Russian borderline as that was a big time provocation. There should have been a neutral zone of countries left between Russia and NATO countries. Some claim that any country should be able to join NATO. That is crazy as why should the USA be required to start World War 3 by having to now defend some small country that existed behind the Iron Curtain because they got into a dispute with Russia? That is not to say in anyway that the Russian invasion of Ukraine should be excused in anyway.

I understand your point #10, but History is important. The Saarland freely voted to return to Germany & the Rhineland was demilitarized but still part of Germany when the Wehrmacht marched back into it. That's why Britain & France did nothing as those were German. It's when Hitler started claiming other land not German that should have been the big warning. As for another reason for NATO #1 was to keep Germany from starting a 3rd war in Europe. "The Germans are either at your feet or at your throat."
