🚨NEW: VoteVets Senior Advisor LTC (Ret.) Alex Vindman sounds the alarm. SecDef Hegseth’s decision to block Ukraine from NATO is a full capitulation to Putin—emboldening Russian aggression and putting U.S. Troops at risk. This isn’t “America First.” It’s Russia First. - ThreadSky

This is absolutely a full capitulation to Russia, and a big one, which may be part of the cost for the release of the U.S. journalist. Perhaps it is my ignorance (not beyond the realm of possibilities) but is the Secretary of Defense the one that yeas or nays a nation's admission to NATO?

Blocking Ukraine from NATO doesn't necessarily embolden Russian aggression, it's a complex issue that requires careful consideration of US interests and global security, not a simple capitulation to Putin.
