***This has got me seriously SMH.
You seriously think that we traded Uke Nukes for sternly written letters towards an invader as "in compliance"?
Nope.
I am say we are in compliance since we sanctioned Russia.
There is nothing in Ukraine worth a single American life.
Since we sanctioned Russia? You really feel that was effective? It sure as hell didn’t stop Russia from invading. Even Biden’s press secretary said they had no hope that they would be effective. What kind of nincompoopery is this?
There is no reason any country should trust any agreement that we sign. Like my tagline says, we should be giving back nukes to Ukes right about now.
You seriously think that we traded Uke Nukes for sternly written letters towards an invader as "in compliance"?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Security_Assurances
Canadian journalist Michael Colborne pointed out that “there are actually six obligations in the Budapest Memorandum, and the first of them is ‘to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine’”. Colborne also pointed out that a broadcast of Lavrov’s claim on the Twitter account of Russia’s embassy in the United Kingdom actually “provided a link to the text of the Budapest Memorandum itself with all six obligations, including the ones Russia has clearly violated – right there for everyone to see.” Steven Pifer, an American diplomat who was involved in drafting the Budapest Memorandum, later commented on “the mendacity of Russian diplomacy and its contempt for international opinion when the foreign minister says something that can be proven wrong with less than 30 seconds of Google fact-checking?”[37]

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has publicly commented on the Budapest Memorandum by arguing that it provides no true guarantee of safety due to Russia’s coercive power. On 19 February 2022, Zelenskyy made a speech at the Munich Security Conference in which he said “Since 2014, Ukraine has tried three times to convene consultations with the guarantor states of the Budapest Memorandum. Three times without success. Today Ukraine will do it for the fourth time. ... If they do not happen again or their results do not guarantee security for our country, Ukraine will have every right to believe that the Budapest Memorandum is not working and all the package decisions of 1994 are in doubt.”[42] Putin used Zelenskyy’s comments as part of his claims that Ukraine could develop nuclear weapons. Critics have disputed Putin’s claims.[43] This treaty has since been violated by Russia at the outbreak of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
