The point of NATO is not to “help” anyone but its own warlords and oligarchs and their imperialist interests abroad. The reason NATO isn’t “helping” Ukraine more is because a) they don’t want WW3 (yet) and b) because its leaders are perfectly fine using it as a battleground to test out weapons and try to carve out a sphere of influence against a peer competitor but nothing more. Ukraine never had any chance of being an equal or even junior partner in NATO’s imperialist project. It’s a patsy that will be used, destroyed, and discarded like so many other countries before it and their craven, comprador ruling class that honestly believed they had a shot at imperialist membership if they just kept asking nicely and kept maintaining their hardline stance against Russia are to blame for it. Zelenskyy looks so pissed in that image because he’s realized how much of a fucking fool he’s been played for.
