Stoltenberg convenes a Ukraine-NATO Council meeting on August 28 at Ukraine's request — The Guardian
Here’s how it will go down most likely.
Zelensky: Can you deploy troops to the border with Belarus?
NATO: No.
Zelensky: Start shooting down missiles!
NATO: No.
Zelensky: Give us permission for strikes, I swear Putin won't respond!
NATO: We can't. Right now, we have a guy with dementia in charge, and it's unclear who will take over after that. Let's wait until November. For now, the Finns will help.
Zelensky: But they don't have long-range capabilities.
NATO: That's all we can do for now.
Zelensky: My front is collapsing near Pokrovsk, send troops!
NATO: Why did you go into Kursk? We'll send you excavators to dig a new line.
Zelensky: The whole world will see that you can't do anything.
NATO: Alright, take a Patriot and a couple of F-16s, and don't forget to say it's a powerful package.
