Ukraine is beginning to sound like the spurned suitor who insists on attending the wedding of the bride! It creates an awkward situation for everyone. It is bad enough that the suitor has been spurned. His feelings are hurt. No one wants to rub salt into injury by telling the suitor in frank and brutal language to take a hike. How then to tell Ukraine, in delicate language that does not aggravate the situation, that its Nato application is all but dead?
Nato likes its suitors to be free of any baggages. Which is what disqualifies Ukraine. Ukraine has a huge cancerous tumour called Donbass and Crimea. Which is the last thing Nato wants. Now Ukraine could rid itself off that cancerous tumour, which would vastly improved its suitability for Nato membership; but that Ukraine appears to have vowed not to do.
What a truly fascinating quandary. Nato likes her suitors cancer free. And for Ukraine to be cancer free she has to excise a bunch of horrible cancerous tumours: Donbass, Odessa, Crimea, Kharkiv. That will leave behind a much reduced Ukraine, but nevertheless a cancer free Ukraine, and better candidate for Nato
Ukraine Unhappy With Lack Of Progress In Joining NATO As Kyiv Is Not Invited To Summit
Ukraine has decried the lack of progress in NATO's "open-door" policy to Ukrainian membership and said it could not comprehend why it wasn't invited to the bloc's summit next month.
NATO meets on June 14 in Brussels in a push to improve transatlantic ties under U.S. President Joe Biden amid growing tensions with Russia.
"We understand the desire of the allies to hold a closed summit ... but we do not understand how it is possible not to invite Ukraine," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on May 26.
