No, and he knows America isn't willing to risk American lives by the millions to defend a nation that most of them can't even find. The Ukraine is not our problem. If you're not willing to risk nuclear war, then Article 5 protection of NATO is meaningless.

I say yes bring Kiev into NATO but we'll have to wait until Russia claims the eastern third of the country.
