Regular Ukrainians never wanted to be in NATO
Not until Russia attacked in 2014. Then a majority did according to poling. An overwhelming majority starting last year. Russia has probably made itself a new generational enemy, more of an enemy than they would have been had they actually joined NATO (which never had a good chance of happening at any point in history since they didn't want to join until they were involved in a conflict, and then after that wouldn't be accepted).

Totally agree about no common ground for peace at this time. At the moment it seems that the minimum each side would accept is well beyond the maximum the other side would offer.

But, that’s how DINO’s (democracies in name only) work - their “leaders” don’t give a rats’s butt about what the people want.


Do you consider the USA to be a DINO?
