If Ukraine had been in NATO...

Ted Cruz famously insinuated that the Russian Army was better than ours; tougher, stronger, more muscular, less woke.
I never agreed with Ted Cruz that US Armed Forces are wimpy and outclassed by Russia. And this illegal invasion of Ukraine just proves to me that America's armed forces would be more than a match for Putin's floundering military.
You think that might have embolden Putin?
NATO Won’t Let Ukraine Join Soon. Here’s Why.
Ukraine has pressed for membership to defend against Russia. But President Biden and European leaders are not ready for that step.
Last June, Mr. Biden told journalists at NATO headquarters in Brussels that “school is out on that question” when asked whether Ukraine could join the alliance.
During the Obama administration, American officials encouraged Ukraine to sign a formal association agreement with the European Union rather than try to join NATO.
Mr. Zelensky has pressed Mr. Biden repeatedly on membership, including during his visit to the White House in September. “I would like to discuss with President Biden here his vision, his government’s vision of Ukraine’s chances to join NATO and the time frame for this accession, if it is possible,” he said as he sat next to Mr. Biden.
Mr. Biden blew past those comments without responding.

Trump had four years? He spent all for tearing down NATO, not trying to build it.

STUPIDFUCK.
TRUMP SCARED PUTIN MORE THAN NATO EVER COULD, AND HE ARMED UKRAINE AFTER OBIDEN REFUSED TO, AND THEN BUILT THE EAST EUROPEAN MISSIAL DEFENSE SHIELD OBIDEN ALSO RENEGED ON BUILDING...TO APPEASE PUTIN.
PRES.MORON SCARES NO ONE = WHY PUTIN INVADED NOW.
Cruz is a noisemaker. he just talks without knowing to back his preconceptions and staying on the right side of Trump. Trump does not like him.
If Ukraine had been in NATO, Russia would have never been brave enough to attack. If Trump had not been opposed to the idea, we would have no war in Ukraine today.
Is that so?
