The Ruskie-Lovers in Today's Congress Are No Better Than the Pro-Nazis in Congress During World War II Who Spread Hitler's Propaganda.

Agreed. The US right-wing Russia lovers, and Putin, seem to be forgetting a three-way treaty known as the [i]1994 Budapest Memorandum.[/i]

Essentially, Ukraine agreed to give up all its nuclear weapons to Russia in exchange for safety from a U.S. or Russian invasion. Russia's invasion of Ukraine violates that treaty. And as a signatory to that 1994 Budapest Memorandum, the U.S. has a definite interest in righting Putin's current wrongs.

[quote]In the final version of the deal, Russia promised not to attack Ukraine. While the U.S. and the U.K. assured Ukraine they would aid if it was attacked by Russia, that promised aid did not guarantee military support like a NATO country would receive.

In 2009, Russia and the U.S. announced that the assurances in the Budapest Memorandum would continue to remain in effect in the future.

Sorry, Russkie lovers, but Russia promised [i]specifically[/i] NOT to invade Ukraine, and the U.S. promised [i]specifically[/i] to ASSIST Ukraine if the treaty were ever violated. And that's what the U.S. is doing now.
@ElwoodBlues And this also demonstrates:

• BREAKING your word under international law,

v.

• KEEPING your word under international law.

I like being on the good side of that. I wonder where the "family values" folks side on that? Lying is ok?
