The odd thing about giving your word as a person or a country is that people expect you to keep it even when it is not “legally binding.” The US and the UK and NATO correctly regard their various security promises to Ukraine as both morally and strategically compelling. Putin is an untrustworthy, dangerous thug and it is in the interest of the US and NATO to stop him and Russia.

Yet, the US didn’t feel it needed to keep it’s word about not moving NATO one inch east after German reunification.
Keeping our word, even when not legally binding, only matters when it suits a DC or London strategic goal.

Declassified in 2017, yes, Baker said “not one inch eastward”.

Well that doesn't work for our interests as I don't think we should be completely supporting Ukraine monetarily nor militarily. It's not OUR battle and should never have been. Ukraine's security doesn't do a dang thing for our countries security - not even a little.....in fact it's robbing our country from where our money should otherwise be going right here in the USA.

Secure OUR border - build our infrastructure not Ukraine's - defend our borders from the invasion that's happening......and even if all these didn't need to be addressed Ukraine's milked every country it can get it's fangs in - so no I don't support this conflict even a little......and they've never done a dang thing for us!
