Blinken Promises Ukraine Will Join NATO — Is This the Start of WORLD WAR 3?

Are we on the verge of World War 3?

It certainly seems like it — and soon…

Secretary of State Anthony Blinken just promised that Ukraine will become a member of NATO.

Speaking to reporters in Brussels, Blinken stated bluntly, “Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership.”

Watch for yourself:

This is how you get America into a shooting war with Russia, involving our troops.

The Kyiv Post reported:

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken advanced Washington’s confidence that Ukraine will eventually ascend to NATO, without a specific timeframe, during a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart, Dmytro Kuleba, in Brussels on April 4.

Speaking at the biannual NATO summit, Blinken said that the purpose of the assembly is “to help build a bridge to that membership and to create a clear pathway for Ukraine moving forward,” a readout from the Statement Department said.

In turn, Kuleba focused on the immediate situation on the battlefield in the Russo-Ukrainian war before addressing prospects for NATO membership.

Ukraine’s top diplomat said his “sobering message… was about the state of Russian air attacks on my country, destroying our energy system, our economy, killing civilians,” while urging “allies… to provide… new additional air defense systems, the best of which is [the US-made] Patriot.”

Regarding NATO membership, Kuleba said, “Ukraine deserves to be a member of NATO and that this should happen sooner – rather sooner – sooner rather than later.”

Now, if Blinken lives up to that promise, we have a lot to worry about — namely, World War 3.

Here’s why:

If Ukraine is given NATO membership, then under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, an attack on Ukraine would be considered an attack on the U.S. or any other NATO nation.

Article 5 states, word-for-word:

The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.

As a consequence, this would trigger an all-out immediate World War between Russia and the West…

As David Sacks put it:

Blinken says that Ukraine will be joining NATO. Under Article 5, this means that an attack on Ukraine will be considered an attack on the United States. If you want World War 3, vote Biden in November. pic.twitter.com/kv0fyv5zdf

The Vigilant Fox on X broke it down further:

Here Comes World War III

United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken has recently made some extremely provocative statements regarding the Russia-Ukraine war.

MTG also pointed out:

Making Ukraine a member of NATO means that the U.S. will be going to war against Russia as mandated by Article 5.

70% of Americans are AGAINST this!!

All we want is our own border secured, but Ukraine is more important to them.

The start of WWIII..

The Washington Examiner commented on the ramifications of Blinken’s promise to Ukraine:

With the war in Ukraine initiated by Russia’s invasion in 2022, the prospect of the Eastern European nation joining the military alliance of Western Europe and the United States has dire implications.

As it stands today, Ukraine is losing ground to the invading Russian army that is significantly larger and better armed than the Ukrainian military. For a sovereign country that was unjustly invaded, this is a tragic reality but a reality nonetheless.

Russia and its president Vladimir Putin have made clear that NATO membership for Ukraine is a motivator behind their unjust invasion. As unfair to Ukraine as this is, to allow Ukraine to join NATO at this juncture, or even discuss it openly, raises the prospects that the conflict in the region could escalate into a much greater one between nations that have and maintain massive stockpiles of nuclear weapons.

This is not an outcome that is in the interests of the U.S. What is in the interests of the U.S. and the people of Ukraine is bringing an end to the conflict in the region. But instead of doing that, Blinken is embracing reckless rhetoric that is creating obstacles to negotiating peace in the region while raising the prospect of NATO being drawn into a possibly catastrophic conflict in Europe.
