Nato summit: Ukraine on 'irreversible path' to membership - Lemmy.World

Nato members have pledged their support for an “irreversible path” to future membership for Ukraine, as well as more aid. While a formal timeline for it to join the military alliance was not agreed at a summit in Washington DC, the military alliance’s 32 members said they had “unwavering” support for Ukraine’s war effort. Nato has also announced further integration with Ukraine’s military and members have committed €40bn ($43.3bn, £33.7bn) in aid in the next year, including F-16 fighter jets and air defence support. The bloc’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said: “Support to Ukraine is not charity - it is in our own security interest.”

Starting to notice a lot of Tankies jumping to .world because they let .ml slide enough that enough of us ban .ml users on site

Please don’t ban me… I joined .ml because it was privacy, security and FOSS focused! I had no idea about the ancillary political focus now associated with it.

1: I’m just a user, if its *just me blocking you, it’s likely not going to impact your lemmy experience much

2: While the .ml tag means I instantly am wary/distrust you, the autoblock happens when you try and justify anything Russia and China has done.

Maybe Ukraine deserved to be invaded? Block

Countries surrounding Russia lining up to join Nato is a sign of expanding US Hegemony? Block

Isreali citizens deserved to be gunned down and r***** because they are settlers and not human? You better believe thats an autoblock

Mention Gaza? Block. Straight to block.

Take too long to denounce Russia? Block.

Denounce Russia too fast? Believe it or not, block. Straight to block.

We have the best echo chamber in the world, because of block.

I’m joking, obviously. Putin can die in a fire, and I want him to live long enough to suffer from it first. I just ALSO have no faith in the West to be much better. Seems like around here if you’re not firmly in one camp, you must be in the other.

Look man, North America sucks, but I’d rather have the States as a Superpower than Russia or China. So if you’re gonna suck those two off by defending the invasion of Ukraine or suggesting Taiwan should merge back with China, I dont have time for that. And for the Gaza thing? I dont particularly value the opinions of those who relish the thought of dehumanizing a population, The Isreal/Gaza situation is a horrific generational clusterfuck and both Hamas and the Israeli Government can go fuck theirselves, a terrorist attack, while “understandable” is never something to celebrate, and what the Isreali Government is using that as an excuse to do is abhorrent.

But… it is, isn’t it?

Go ahead and block if you want. The important thing is that you don’t encounter any ideas that make you uncomfortable.

I wonder why its specifically the Countries surrounding Russia. You arent adding anything to my worldview with braindead takes like yours

I wonder why its specifically the Countries surrounding Russia.

Any countries joining Nato would be a sign of growing US hegemony, not just the countries around Russia.

The mind of the tankie cannot comprehend such logical consistency

Sort of the joke in all this. The .ml users are “raiding” the sub because they like the advanced feature set.

Yeah, its a large instance, and you need some inside knowledge to know about the political leanings.

Fun fact, they chose .ml to abbreviate marxist-leninist
