Russian invasion of Ukraine

Tad different circumstances now though don't you think?
Yes, tragically, but the problems for a lot of NATO members remain the same.

Russia really doesn’t want Ukraine in NATO, NATO doesn’t want to be fighting Russia the next time things kick off in the East, and making a firm commitment to Ukraine on membership in the short or medium term would make brokering a peace deal - if it comes to that - more difficult.
 
And Ukraine had no interest in NATO membership before the Russians invaded in 2014, even in 2022 before the latest invasion there wasn't a majority in favour of membership, so fuck what Russia wants.
And fuck brokering any deal that Russia will simply ignore when it’s expedient to do so.
