You don't just "join NATO"

Sweden isn't a member yet and they haven't beet at war for hundreds of years. I don't doubt that Ukraine will join at some point but it'll probably take years

One day, you can drive off the lot in a new NATO. Just sign here

Quite literally possible btw. The difficulty is not actually the red tape, or some dumb rule that can be ignored at will, it's getting the existing members to agree to expedite the process.
