The alliance also pledges more aid to Ukraine, but China warns it to stop "provoking confrontation".

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.”

    Because the US has the means to work behind the scenes. Invasions are a crude tool which can be avoided when you can simply infiltrate the country with agents paying people off from within the country. Of course, this requires a sophisticated intelligence apparatus and isn’t possible for most countries.

        Tell me, what do you think the CIA does? Are you aware of their history? Do you think they just sit around with their thumb up their ass now? Sorry to see that you consider applying basic logic a mental workout.

              True, I shouldn’t feed the troll who thinks all intelligence agencies are on the same level as the CIA.

                Wait. You actually…

                I’m sorry if I was rude, but self-deception is a process of denying or rationalizing away the relevance, significance, or importance of opposing evidence and logical argument. Self-deception involves convincing oneself of a truth (or lack of truth) so that one does not reveal any self-knowledge of the deception.

                  “Anyone who doesn’t agree with me is a troll and/or deceiving themselves!” - you. I’m sure you folks who are parroting western propaganda and spamming upvotes/downvotes based on who agrees or disagrees with you are surely not deceiving yourselves.

                  All you have to do is see how the US conducts itself on the world stage to see the truth. Do you think US involvement with Ukraine only started after the invasion? I already posted proof that it’s not the case, what have you posted other than name-calling and your dumb wikipedia diagnosis?
