Ukraine To Join NATO?

So now we learn that Ukraine is about to become a member of NATO, along with Georgia perhaps, and that its admission will be supported by the Americans. Who would have dreamed, twenty years ago, that we would see this one day? A former state of the old Soviet Union, and a powerful one at that; a nuclear power, don't forget, and the site of the infamous Chernobyl power station.

Ukraine has been making energetic attempts to free itself from the shadow of its mighty neighbor, Russia, and is clearly succeeding gradually to establish itself on the world stage.

For me, the interesting points about Ukraine are the truly awful entries it puts in to the Eurovision Song Contest, and a splendid novel (in English) which I read last year, entitled "A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian." Sphere: Related Content
