I know life is really heard for the North Korean people, but sometimes I wonder; what would happen if the world just collectively decided to ignore the country all together? These launches feels like a toddler screaming for attention - explosive attention, I know, but it works - yet another article about NK.

I undrstand your reasoning. But you can’t ignore that there are a number of standards, not only security-related but also legal and political, that Ukraine must meet in order to be admitted to the defense alliance. It would likely require a series of reform requirements that need to be fulfilled.

Ukraine itself acknowledges that it is not realistic to become a member as long as the Russian invasion continues.

Nature is both scary and amazing at the same time!

Is that really a journalist… or a commentator? Not a very objective analysis of the situation.
