And if Ukraine was part of NATO there would be non-nuclear missiles in Ukraine, not nuclear ones, it wouldn't make much sense to put them that close to what would be the front line.

I'm not calling for membership, just going back to the comparison of the situations between Cuba and Ukraine. Cuba had nuclear missiles put in place, and at a time when that represented a significant increase in the nuclear threat to the US (much more so than it would today, let alone at the peak ICBM levels).

Ukraine doesn't have any nuclear weapons, got rid of there's in exchange for a Russian promise to essentially leave them alone (respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity (with its borders including Crimea) and a pledge to not even use economic coercion against Ukraine). If NATO membership for Ukraine actually was a serious prospect, or even had already happened, it would not represent anywhere near the increase in threat that nukes in Cuba where.

And NATO membership for Ukraine has been a dead idea since at least 2014, and before that Ukraine didn't want it.
