One more time, I didn’t deny the Budapest thing exists. I deny the validity of the thing. You certainly are a foreigner when you say the US Senate ratification is misdirection. Senate ratification is the only time representatives of the US voters have a say and gives the treaty legal authority. An agreement with Putin is worthless, you say. That’s the only realistic chance for Ukraine to escape from this since no one is going
to war with Russia to save them. Then you resort to the stale old Uke talking points and insults, that anyone against the war is a Putin stooge or an appeaser.
I was born in the US in 1957. In Norfolk VA to a military family. So buzz off.
A month ago I was in Austria, Slovakia and Hungary including Budapest. When was the last time you were out of the country?
Now read up...

At this point there is no reason for Ukraine to attempt an agreement of any kind with Russia because Putin will just violate it when he feels like.
You must be ignorant of the long history of the abuse of Ukraine starting with Czarist Russia, through Leninist/Stalinist Soviet Union and now Putin’s Russia or you’d know why Ukraine won’t surrender.
The people of Ukraine know their own history even if you don’t. Even if Putin manages eventual “victory”, the Ukrainians are going to make sure that Putin has made a huge expenditure and all Putin will get is a smoking ruin.
BTW, you’ve been insulting me all along so you finally had it coming. You’re agreeing with the NYT that Putin’s naked aggression should be rewarded. That make you a supporter of Putin. You ought to be ashamed of yourself and so should the NYT.
