The trek toward World War 3 just took another giant leap forward. The United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Ukraine will join NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).
The ruling class of the United States has been clear that it wants Ukraine to “win” the conflict and join NATO. Blinken has made the case for Kyiv’s membership in NATO before, however, the bloc has officially declared, both in Washington this summer and last year in Lithuania, that this could only happen “when allies agree and conditions are met.”

“At the July summit, we declared that Ukraine’s path to NATO membership is irreversible,” Blinken said on Wednesday according to a report by RT. He was reminding his hosts that the U.S.-led bloc has “established a command dedicated to support Ukraine’s membership.”
Hungary and Slovakia have already said they will not agree under any circumstances because bringing Ukraine into NATO, would mean a hot war with Russia.
During the same speech in Kiev, Blinken painted a rosy picture of Ukraine’s military industry, claiming it had expanded six-fold over the last year.
“In the coming years, that’s going to give Ukraine one of the most advanced defense industries in the world, and it will be able to take that to the global market and take global market share away from other countries like Russia, and also supply NATO allies,” he added. “The bottom line is this: We want Ukraine to win,” Blinken declared at another point during his visit, according to The AP.
Ukraine winning the war with Russia is also a prerequisite for it joining NATO. According to Russia, that means that Ukraine will never be a member of the bloc.
This, too, was stated by Western officials before, as a prerequisite for Kyiv’s membership in NATO. This effectively means that Ukraine will never join the bloc, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in June.
