Thanks. Georgia is unfortunately not ready. Nation is pro-West/NATO, but Gov is infested with Kremlin aligners. Its security services are not reliably cleansed of Russian influence to be welcomed into NATO. Membership of NATO grants access to sensitive data. Georgia is an unacceptable risk to that sensitive data - at least as of today.
Great points on Turkey and Ukraine. Your mention of Georgia: the idea of their accession to NATO seems all but dead.
