Ukraine leaning NATO's way? Brant's game-based predictions on target?

So the Ukrainians (and Georgians) may be leaning NATO's way, but will NATO return the favor?:

When the presidents and prime ministers of every NATO nation met in Bucharest, Romania, in April, they agreed unanimously that Ukraine and Georgia, two former Soviet republics, would someday, without a doubt, enter the Western alliance.
But in the face of Russian resistance and even some recalcitrance within the alliance, the leaders could not agree to formally invite either Ukraine or Georgia to the ritual of requirements, reforms and deadlines. It was the diplomatic equivalent of proposing marriage without setting the wedding day. And it was a notable rejection of American policy, which had long sought to begin the formalities of the engagement, known in NATO parlance as a Membership Action Plan.
Instead, an ad hoc coalition of longtime NATO members — Germany, France, Italy and Spain — continued to block the desires of Washington and the newer members of Central and Eastern Europe to bring the two countries into the fold.

It's also always fun to point out people who dare question the august majesty that is my prescience!

Of course, given that the French (1808-1813) and Germans (1941-1944) both got their asses kicked up and down the vast expanses of the Ukraine, it's probably no wonder they aren't in a rush to sign up for it's defense from the Red Horde.
