Heads of State and Government from across the military alliance are set to gather for a historic summit on the future path of transatlantic security and the issue at the top of the list for the military bloc’s members will be the issue of Ukraine’s future membership. On July 7th, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced a new assistance package for Ukraine that will see the embattled country receive years of support from the alliance in a pre-summit conference ahead of the military bloc’s July 12th meeting. Stoltenberg noted in his pre-conference address the alliance was taking “major steps to strengthen our deterrence and defense,” announcing three new regional defense plans aimed at countering the military bloc’s two major threats: Russia and terrorism.  However, the only thing that could guarantee American troops in Ukraine at this point would be for the country to join NATO and for Moscow to do something that triggered the military bloc’s Article 5 defensive clause and draw in the full might of the transatlantic alliance.  Will the American troops join the war in Ukraine for security guarantee ?
