Should Ukraine join NATO?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Yes
@9GFMK86New Democratic5mos5MO
Bringing an unstable Ukraine currently under attack from Russia would increase tensions, potentially starting a 3rd World War. If a Ukrainian state exists in some form after the war, regardless of the outcome, it should be allowed to join NATO once it meets the requirements.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
No, this should be decided after the current war ends so we avoid a third world war
@9FT6L8Q6mos6MO
We should be able to decide this whenever it is most relevant which is now, whether or not there is a war going on right now.

We should ignore Ukraine and Canada should have concerns about their own country before going and pushing a proxy war.
@9JXN7JS1mo1MO
Yes, that is if they have a stable economy and pays off about 10% of the aid it received during the war
@9JSPMXF2mos2MO
Yes, but use this to abolish certain deficiencies and corruptions currently present in their government.
@9JGJ9Q7Conservative2mos2MO
i think at this point there should be agreement between russia and ukraine. Russia's main concern is if ukraine joins NATO then this would allow US to make their military presence in ukraine and as ukraine shares a land border with russia. this would be like inviting your worst enemy to be your neighbour. In the end in a war there are no winners so the soon the dispute ends the better.
@9JGGJW52mos2MO
No, and NATO should be reconstructed to include more diverse countries rather than white-dominated countries
@9FLSSY46mos6MO
yes for the supplies and to have help
@9FYP94M6mos6MO
This should be a decision made as any other when a country petitions to join NATO. No special treatment should be given.
@9FXS5CNConservative6mos6MO
I don't understand how this is a foreign policy question for Canada. Canada is barely a contributor to NATO and their international interests. NATO spiraling into what is now an international protectorate, allowing countries who will almost certainly end up in war, into the alliance increasing the likelihood that they will end up in a WW3 scenario, instead of a peacemaking force (ie, Yugoslavia).
@9FN24SR6mos6MO
They agreed to not bring NATO any closer to the Russia border, during their independence.
@9F9HLPY7mos7MO
THere is no crisis in the Ukraine
@9F9DJ2X7mos7MO
Yes, but only after the current wars ends so we avoid a third war.
@9F3YN587mos7MO
That would be up to the Ukrainians to decide.
@9F2XS9M7mos7MO
Any big corporation such as NATO is completely corrupt and is not functioning with countries best interests at heart.
@9F2VYKP7mos7MO
I am in between since I believe joining nato could potentially help but it would put risks to other countries. So at this moment we should put a pause to it and wait to see what else is happening.
Yes, as long as it meets requirements and other members approve, and its people want to join as well.
@9D2TKFS8mos8MO
Ukraine citizens can decide
@9CGBPXC9mos9MO
Not a matter of utmost urgency
@9C656B310mos10MO
@9BRYSQD11mos11MO
If it wants to join NATO, it should.
@9BMXVQ611mos11MO
That is up to the country's people of Ukraine.
@9BJJPZS11mos11MO
Why should a Canadian get to decide if Ukraine joins NATO?
@99YHMLQ1yr1Y
Only after the war with Russia has ended.
@99FDLL51yr1Y
let the citizens of Ukraine vote to join
@999DNDR1yr1Y
@99754FZ1yr1Y
Yes, if Ukraine can deal with their internal affairs and corruption first.
@94C6KXH2yrs2Y
It is not possible for them to join NATO currently
@94C42JL2yrs2Y
Yes, Ukraine should be able to join NATO if it wants to, and should be allowed to make that decision free of any outside influence (not from Russia, United States, or any of it's neighbors in Eastern Europe), however I realize it's often easier said than done. But, it must also fit the criteria and qualifications to become a NATO member as outlined in documents such as the Washington Treaty.
If they wish to, I don't see how we could responsibly say no. However, I would only officially let them join after the current war with Russia ends. A war between a NATO country and Russia is obviously just about the worst possible thing that could happen in the world.
@93TYLL52yrs2Y
Yes, once the war's over to combat future Russian aggression
@93CDZZ82yrs2Y
That’s the choice of its citizens.
The Ukraine is a region not a country
@939SG3L2yrs2Y
They should have the right to decide themselves to join. The existence of NATO can potentially cause more issues.
@932PQQF2yrs2Y
I don't think it's my place to say
@92VJXN32yrs2Y
No, it seems to be in the interest of everyone, especially Ukrainians, if Ukraine remains neutral.
@92PQBJW2yrs2Y
No. Abolish NATO. It has proven to be corporation and bankers private army. No more destruction of sovereign nations. We have no where to put the refugees NATO has created.
@92PM7QJ2yrs2Y
Yes, however it is NATO's choice whether to let them in or not.
