It makes sense as to why a country at war cannot join NATO. I also get why Ukraine is desperate to join.

[theenduriangamer]

Yeah like, Nato has had that pre-requisite for "country cannot be at war" for quite some time. Not really much wrong with that.

[grantharriman]

Every Stellaris player knows that you can't join mutual defense pacts while actively at war.

[RhombusOfTheJ]

I mean it is Nato doctrine that you cannot join if there is a territorial dispute I believe. This is the treaty.

Friends: Where do you get all this news?
Me: it’s complicated…

“Paraguay has joined the Allies!”
“Paraguay called in The United States, the United Kingdom, and France into the Paraguay-Brazilian war!”

They forgot to mention that they'll need to do a cluster bomb cleanup any way because Russia has been using them THIS ENTIRE TIME

[peaceanquiet]

Joining an alliance during a war is hard because everyone would have to go to war. No one wants that kind of escalation.

[AndreaXV]

Every human being with a functioning brain understands why you can't join a military alliance of this kind when you are actively at war.

[karenmerritt]

Ok peeps, what wasn’t said was that there is a rule stipulating that you may not enter NATO if you are currently at war. That’s not just for Ukraine, it’s any country. Ukraine knows this. NATO is essentially a peace keeping force, not a trump card to pull out when hostilities break out.

[kreb]

The NATO article forbids a country to to enter while on active conflict

[bowwak]

This would be such a HOI 4 moment, joining a faction in the middle of war.

[LordValorum]

Yeah i actually think that not inviting Ukraine to NATO (at this time) is good idea since you know, a Great War sucks and Nuclear War probably sucks even more

[davidahgren]

Ukraine wanting to join Nato rn is the equivalent of trying to buy home insurance as the house is on fire... not gonna happen

[OK-yyqz]

Ukraine trying to Join NATO in the middle of War is like a dude trying to become friends with you while he's in the middle of a fight.

[polishedcopper]

As a Lithuanian. I loved the fact that I saw military personnel in McDonald's and in the mall

[slayermcrx]

even tho Ukraine can't join, they're still getting backed by the US and Europe so they still got people helping them out. Its just not a good idea to get Europe wrapped up in another world war

[Mattlott]

Forget about the history involving NATO and Russia... just trust things that appeal to emotions and short form content designed to manipulate you.

[twicethegalo]

Finland and Sweden did the smart thing

[CheeryRhymes]

The rules have always been clear about joining NATO. You can't be involved in a war when joining.

This entire thing happened because of people just ignoring rules and laws.
