Well that is the weasily justification which is being used, but NATO is supposed to be an alliance where decisions are taken collectively. Notice how all the Western European politicians are being very silent on the issue.

Now you are not going to see any pushback on this decision in the Western media in Europe and North America where everyone is "Rah, Rah, Ukraine, Go!" as if it is a football match.

Where the shoe drops is in the ROW: Asia, Middle East, Africa, Latin America where this is seen as just one more example that there is one set of rules for the West and another for the rest and that this war is just a proxy war between the USA and Russia that they want no part of.
