Lt. Col. Allen West on Life, Liberty & Levin Sunday, April 24 at 8pm eastern on Fox News. 'It is very sickening' to witness the Russia Ukraine war.
(Excerpt) Read more at rumble.com ...
We don’t owe Ukraine anything...not one stinking thing. The political and media push toward that country is getting beyond ridiculous. There’s allot of bad players itching to gain from the deaths and destruction going on there....
We don’t have a commitment to protect Ukraine. They are not in the NATO alliance. It is horrible what is going on there. We should not get sucked into a war over it.
>> Sounds like the Globalists got to the Colonel.
Figured it was the vanity flags on main street.
Or maybe it was West’s dismal TX primary results that has him vociferating for attention...
He’s incorrect but I’m giving him a pass
Like I do some here
Cause I like him otherwise
If Russia invaded Moldova, or Poland or the Baltic states would your answer be the same?
We didn’t do that in 2014 when obambam was in charge. He just let them have Crimea in violation of the agreement. Because he was weak.
The time to have said sumthin about that was in 1994. If the Ukes had never given up their nukes, they never woulda been invaded.
More bullshiite from the king of it.
“We” didn’t sign a treaty …
***Yes “we” did. It was signed by the presidents of Ukraine, Russia, and the USA plus Ireland and Britain. That is how treaties get signed. If Alberta signed a treaty it wouldn’t be valid because Alberta doesn’t represent a country, but the president of a country does represent that country. That’s why creation fell when Adam bit the apple, rather than Eve, because Adam represented Mankind and Eve didn’t.
and the agreement was signed by a U.S. president
***You just stipulated the whole thing, right there.
who had no authority to commit the U.S. to much of anything.
***Wrong about that. The United Nations Treaty on Nuclear Nonproliferation is fully ratified, and accessions to the treaty are proceeded according to the signed statements of the heads of those guvmints who ratified the treaty.
It was like the CEO of Pepsi signing a deal to have his company buy Coca-Cola for $100 trillion.
***No, it was like the CEO of Pepsi signing a deal to acquire Coca-Cola for the going stock price at the time.
The Pepsi board of directors is probably going to have a say in the matter — don’t you think?
***The board of directors in this case is the US senate, who ratified the United Nations Treaty on Nuclear Nonproliferation. It made sense to denuke the Ukes at the time so everyone went along with it. When the Russians violated it in 2014, obambam was too weak-kneed to do anything about it. He screwed our country and their country over, as per usual.
Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have severe consequences.
Please provide any evidence that the U.S. Senate ratified anything related to the “1994 agreement” you described.

“Not a treaty?”
Registration Number 52241
Title Memorandum on security assurances in connection with Ukraine’s accession to the TREATY on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons
https://treaties.un.org/Pages/showDetails.aspx?objid=0800000280401fbb
The US Senate ratified the UNTNNP.
...and the Budapest Agreement was an accession to that ratified nuclear nonproliferation treaty.
You’re really grasping at straws here.
Agreed, what commitment does the US have to spend its blood and national treasure to defend UKraine?
No I don’t support The Russian invasion, but I also want to know what US national interest is served by having our young men die defending it?
I am unaware of any mutual defense treaty with UKraine, and while Russia is the aggressor, this isn’t a white hat / black hat situation no matter what the industrial media complex says.
At best this is black hat vs grey/muddy hat. UKraine is a corrupt state as well. Neither of these actors care about the US other than what bribes they can get from us.
Doesn’t pertain:
“Accession
“Accession” is the act whereby a state accepts the offer or the opportunity to become a party to a treaty already negotiated and signed by other states. It has the same legal effect as ratification. Accession usually occurs after the treaty has entered into force. The Secretary-General of the United Nations, in his function as depositary, has also accepted accessions to some conventions before their entry into force. The conditions under which accession may occur and the procedure involved depend on the provisions of the treaty. A treaty might provide for the accession of all other states or for a limited and defined number of states. In the absence of such a provision, accession can only occur where the negotiating states were agreed or subsequently agree on it in the case of the state in question.
[Arts.2 (1) (b) and 15, Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties 1969]

Does apply: “It has the same legal effect as ratification.”
It is a ratified Treaty. The Budapest Accession is an accession to the ratified treaty.
Trump is wrong on many things.
I grow tired of the “agreeing with Trump” argument.
Trump pushed the death jabs and we all know how good those went as he fell for the deep state trap.
