So here is where you called it out as “not a treaty”. The Ukes will have learned that by now. America is not to be trusted.
I get the sense the Israelis have known this for a long time.
I know Saddam figured it out, too late. He checked in with George W, promptly invaded Kuwait, and found out we could not be trusted.
The Ukes had about a third of Russia’s nukes. It seems very likely they’ll be building upon their learnings about “not treaties” and building their own Nukes as fast as the A-Bomb kid designed his. That’s what I’d be doing in their shoes.
But by all means, we shouldn’t be calling it a “treaty”. Someone might get upset.
You called the Budapest Memo a treaty in post 65 *and* post 67 after AC, dforest, Noble, and dvwjr pointed out in earlier posts that it either wasn’t a treaty legally, or that it hadn’t been ratified by Congress (which is required for it to be a treaty).
“America is not to be trusted.”
-We burned that bridge years ago. Where have you been?
“But by all means, we shouldn’t be calling it a “treaty”. Someone might get upset.”
- Not so much being upset as you being insistent on a matter after several other people correctly contradicted you. After my post 69, you finally seemed to stop treating the Memo as though it was a legally-binding treaty.
“yes... your side”
- Why do you keep linking to comments I’ve had no interaction with? I can’t speak for anyone else but myself. This sort of tribalistic “gotcha game” you’re playing is just sheer silliness.
