This looks like a computer generated "story" re-written from a US State Department brief provided by the Atlantic Council from April 2022, not November.

There are so many things wrong, conflicting or misrepresented that I'll only point out two and then quit.

Major NATO members get a say whether Ukraine joins or not. They didn't want Ukraine before the Russian invasion, they want it even less now. The idea that Ukraine just gets to decide it can join and the rest is easy-peasy is risible.

This article, like so many other pro-war articles, makes the dual claim that Ukraine is "handily defeating Russian forces" and "Lithuana, Estonia, and Latvia all could be swallowed up relatively fast by a Russian offensive." All three of those countries are NATO members with NATO installations. Russia cannot be impotent and super powerful at the same time, folks. You have to pick one, or at least one per article.

Pathetic war-mongering.
