Should Ukraine join NATO?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Yes
Putin can nor be trusted. Ukraine deserves oyr support. Nato: if you dont understand the need gor NATO, go ask the Baltic states, Finland , and former Warshaw pact countries. They will remind you of why Russian expansion neess to be kept in check
@9FCFQGCOpportunities6mos6MO
Especially due to the fact that we are going to be entering a world in the next 30 years where I think we are going to be drawing up a few more battle lines, and considering that this is one of the largest wars that's occurred in Europe in the last 100 years, using NATO the way that it was intended to be used (literally the way it was intended to be used protecting Sovereign Nations against imperialist expansionism from Russia, and in some cases China)is a good idea. We can think about NATO being a system to prevent expansionism from China although they're unlikely to do it militarily. I think it's incredibly important that we allow and foster those democracies in those threatened countries to provide those people with some level of self-determinism that they would be denied otherwise.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
No
We shouldn’t be involved in a war so far from our region and are too small to be part of nato. Waste of our taxpayers money
@9FCFQGCOpportunities6mos6MO
There is no reason that another country can determine via threat of military force another sovereign nation's right to join a military alliance. Even regardless of all the history between Ukraine and Russia, especially where Ukrainians were forcefully deported from their own country while part of the Soviet Union and replaced with Russian Nationals who are now used to justify invasion in Eastern Ukraine.
Russia has no right to tell another country who at can and cannot associate with and it is especially egregious that it's considered in any way justified for it to invade that countr… Read more

No, this is based on previous commitment not to do so, that they've broken - with the help of the US
@9FJLT8V6mos6MO
Don't have enough information - up to them
Yes, however, not while there is still conflict in the country as joining could provoke more intense conflict.
@946J2D52yrs2Y

@93W8VGG2yrs2Y
While Russia's invasion of Ukraine is completely abhorrent and unjustified, Ukraine's territorial dispute with Russia even before Russia's invasion regarding Crimea already disqualified them. Perhaps at peace and with no territorial disputes, Ukraine should join NATO.
@8ZS77NV2yrs2Y
Yes, If they qualify and they themselves want to.
It’s not really up to nz govt to decide this…
@9FJLWNT6mos6MO
This is not our business
@9FCTL376mos6MO
No. This would be foolishly dangerous and would risk global nuclear war. I never realised how powerful ideology and propaganda could be until I saw the growing disaster that is the unfolding Ukraine war.
@9FC64NB6mos6MO
Yes, but only if necessary for their country
@9F95WZG 7mos7MO
This is not up for us to decide. This is between them. We should remain impartial to their decision.
@9F88ZN47mos7MO
Yes , if this is what Ukraine wants
@9F7LFZM7mos7MO
NATO is just a talk fest, Getting nothing helpful done waste of momey/time.
@9F6H8LSRock Vote NZ7mos7MO
This is not a question New Zealand should be involved in
@9F3S3347mos7MO
They should do what they wish.
@9F3Q7XJ7mos7MO
This is none of our business
@9F2H6247mos7MO
Since when does this have anything to do with NZ?
@9DXCW2V7mos7MO
This is the question for Ukraine and NATO and has virtually relevance to NZ.
@9DVQ56FNew Conservative7mos7MO
We have no part to play in that decision
@9DT92DR7mos7MO
@9DRS4P87mos7MO
Yes but they can't activate Article 5 until the war is over so WW3 don't start.
Needs much more consideration. An appropriately tough treaty with Russia might be more constructive.
After the Russo-Ukraine War ends, or if Russia decides to escalate the war beyond return (e.g. use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons).
@9DMMSTYOpportunities7mos7MO
This issue should not be decided by New Zealanders.
@9DMBVN97mos7MO
That's for Ukrainians to decide
@9DFZ9LX7mos7MO
Not our business getting involved
@9DDKSW47mos7MO
Indifferent, this should be up to Ukraine. They should be ALLOWED to join NATO.
@9DDJCSQ7mos7MO
@9DBQP5D7mos7MO
Yes, once the war is either at stalemate or over
@9D9JNB88mos8MO
I don't think New Zealand as a non-NATO nmember itself should have a view on this
@9D8ZJ4C8mos8MO
We aren't part of NATO so why should our opinion matter?
This is not something we should overly concern ourselves with. While maintaining diplomacy is important, domestic issues are far more pressing.
