Ukraine should become NATO's 33rd member, while Sweden will become the 32nd.
Ukrainians are the best at using NATO-style weapons to destroy the russian army. Such expertise is critical for the Alliance.

A year ago, the russian cruiser “moskva”, with the help of @UA_NAVY, completed its last and most successful operation. It underwent a transformation from the Black Sea's largest tin can into its best diving attraction.

In situations like this, I am reminded of FDR's words: "We must be the great arsenal of democracy." That was 80 years ago, and it is still the case today.

Our top priority is to quickly build a multi-level air defense/anti-missile defense system.
Patriots, IRIS-T, NASAMS, and MiG-29 are the most recent, but not the final, steps towards this goal. Given the kremlin's barbaric tactics, we need NATO-style fighter jets.
