"Events are tending in the direction of self-reinforcing, ramifying chaos, and the people running the show are obviously insane as they do everything possible to hurry chaos along." This was social critic, James Howard Kunstler's, comment on the news of Antony Blinken, US Secretary of State, announcing that Ukraine will get rushed into NATO membership, ASAP.
Article Five of the NATO charter states that an armed attack against one NATO member, is an attack against all, and must be met with a counter-attack. That means that NATO will instantly be at war with Russia. And Putin has threatened the use of nukes if Russia looks like losing.
It seems that the US Democrats are even more crazy than the neo cons, yearning for nuclear annihilation.

"Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirmed the U.S. commitment for Ukraine to eventually join NATO but held back commitments ahead of the alliance's annual summit, which will take place in Washington in July.
"Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership," Blinken told reporters Thursday in Brussels.
NATO allies agreed at the 2023 summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, that Ukraine can join NATO when certain conditions are met, but sparked criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Baltic allies for failing to set concrete goals and a timeline for Kyiv to join the alliance.
Ukraine's supporters are crafting ways to demonstrate robust international support for Kyiv that can be announced at NATO's Washington summit, marking the 75th anniversary of the alliance.
The deliverables are consequential amid concerns over waning U.S. commitment to supporting Ukraine, with House Republicans holding up additional American assistance and fears that the return of former President Trump to the White House could see a retreat of the U.S. from its commitments to allies and partners."
