You want some kind of evidence that the USA was never going to permit the Ukraine to join NATO? What would this look like?

They dangled this carrot to start their proxy war and once it got going immediately recanted.

Biden says it 'remains to be seen' whether Ukraine will be admitted to NATO

Biden 'looks forward' to Ukraine NATO membership, just not now

Russia has been consistent that NATO membership would be a declaration of war by the US/NATO, so it would mean the end of civilisation. It's an absurd idea. As much as Russia forming a military alliance with Cuba and Mexico.

Which is why it's the only one that isn't massively downvoted lmao. Libs ask for sources and downvote them to avoid reading.
