The Trends Journal has said since the start of the war that Ukraine has no chance against Russia and should negotiate for a peaceful resolution
JUN 13, 2024

In the weeks before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, NATO officials made it clear that Ukraine was not a member, so the alliance would not come to its defense, at least militarily.

Russia stated clearly before the war that Kyiv’s NATO membership was a red line. The West had been training Ukrainian troops and supplying weapons for years but Moscow refused to allow the U.S. to set up a military outpost at its border.

The theory in the West before the war was that Russian President Vladimir Putin was bluffing — despite the massive troop buildup. When Russian forces finally did begin its “special military operation,” the Western media provided a megaphone to NATO leaders who insisted that the Russian military failed and was in disarray.

Zelensky, an actor by trade, was telegenic and provided made-for-Fox-News lines like, “I need ammunition, not a ride.”

The Western establishment was hooked. NATO promised to provide Ukraine with weapons to help even the battlefield, training, and intelligence which would only make victory all the more certain given the crushing sanctions that were imposed.

We all know how this all turned out.

Ukraine is losing and Russia has a top destroyer and nuclear submarine in Cuba. (Didn’t Ukraine sink the Russian fleet?)

Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO head, told reporters in Brussels on Wednesday that it is vital for the alliance to make sure that Ukraine prevails against Russia.

“And without that, of course, there is no [NATO] membership issue to be discussed. We need to ensure that Ukraine prevails – that’s an absolute minimum for Ukraine to become a member of the alliance,” he said, according to RT, the Russian outlet.

Zelensky admitted in May that a Ukrainian victory is a prerequisite for membership in the alliance.

Zelensky announced in 2022 that he filed an expedited application to join NATO in light of Russian President Vladimir Putin annexing four occupied regions in the country, but the alliance did not accept the request.
