No better way to avoid that neutrality than invading Ukraine, ensuring NATO is now obliged to annex it into the alliance and prompting all other previously neutral states to join as well. The cartoonish delirium Putin has exhibited is beyond words and will go down in history. I still can't believe it.

Ukraine won't join NATO because they don't have the votes especially in USA where 67 Senators have to approve

Retaliation is key. Such brutality from Russia can't be accepted as "diplomacy". You do not negotiate with terrorists. Ukraine will join NATO, that's a given.

Ukraine is too poor and corrupt to qualify for NATO membership
