How can the U.S. provide security guarantees to Ukraine when it is currently unable to stop Russia from attacking Ukraine?

It's akin to someone kicking the shit out of you while your friend stands by, saying, "I can't help you right now; I have a weak back. But next time, I got your back!"

What security guarantees are they going to give, exactly?

The only guarantee they can give is not to use Ukraine to provoke a war again in 10 years.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Does Putin have absolute power to make a deal by offering concessions without approval of the Federal Assembly or his Generals?

@Jokersswild That is not where I was going with that exactly. One of the Russian's positions for years at this point is "you agree to neutrality like in 1991, and we don't march all the way to Lviv."

As long as Zelensky and company demand what is left of Ukraine be in NATO they will keep pushing west because they will not allow an enemy forward operating base on their border.

And to anyone who says "whatabout Sweden and Finland". Their armies are tiny. They are no threat even together.
