This is starting to make me really nervous. Coordinated coups by both Iran and Russia. Who could have seen that coming? Maybe Hillary, were she doing her job?

Sorry, it’s not a “Treaty” unless it was ratified by 67 Senators. A “Memorandum” doesn’t mean diddly squat. Besides, even if it were ratified, Obastard would just abrogate it anyway because it involves a bunch of white folk.

My guess is Ukraine kept some of those nukes.

Gotta have insurance when dealing with the Bear.

The honest thing for us to do in this situation is to not make promises we do not intend to keep. IE, write checks with our mouth that our ass can’t cash. By giving the Ukrainians false hopes can only lead to their slaughter. Let them know we intend to do nothing besides bloviate. That way they can make decisions based on reality instead of fantasy.

The U.S. can not do anything militarily. We are fully committed to the Asia pivot, not too mention Afghanistan. China is waiting for a mere blink.

Not going to happen. Easy get-out because they overthrew the government, which can effectively nullify a treaty. Just like the Syria debacle, this will be another humiliation caused by Ketchup-head and Barry.

George Washington’s advice regarding foreign treaties in his 1796 “Farewell Address” is as relevant today as when he penned the words. It is unfortunate our leaders since WWII have not headed it:

“Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities. . . Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice?
It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.”

Not worth the paper it’s written upon. Captain Pink Lines wouldn’t stop Canada from invading the Dakotas.

Let Europe defend Victoria Nuland’s puppet government.

The same folks that gave us the Dayton Accords. How did that work out for Yugoslavia?
