Responsible Statecraft: Will upcoming NATO summit launch forever war in Europe?
Pressure is mounting to make some sort of formal declaration over Ukraine’s membership at meetings in Vilnius next month.
An article in the New York Times on Wednesday claimed that pressure is building on Biden to announce a timetable for Ukrainian membership in NATO at its Vilnius Summit next month.
Supposedly Biden is “isolated” among NATO allies in his reluctance to do so, even though that claim is contradicted by the story’s own last paragraph (the one that Noam Chomsky once quipped should be read first), which acknowledges that “others argue more quietly” that NATO membership “could give Mr. Putin more incentive to continue the war, or to escalate it.”

WNU Editor: I agree with this statement from the above post .... since Moscow has already declared NATO membership for Ukraine to be completely unacceptable and an existential threat — the prevention of which is one of its chief war aims — a Vilnius Declaration that Ukraine will join NATO when the war ends will effectively ensure that the war goes on forever.
Sighhh .... both sides are dug in, and there is no willingness to compromise.
My biggest fear is that a major incident will occur that will give the excuse that NATO is looking for to directly intervene in the war. Officials in Poland and the Baltic states are already talking about deploying military personnel to guard the Ukraine - Belarus border. And then there is winter. If there is a cold winter the energy shock that will be felt in Europe is going to be profound, and the pressure that will be put on European governments to do something may lead us to that pathway of a major NATO - Russia war.
I have learned in life that desperate people do desperate things. I know in Ukraine the feeling of desperation is now deep, and they are scrambling for a way to get NATO directly involved. But what happens if NATO or Moscow (or both) start to feel desperate? You tell me.
