Since Ukraine is not in NATO and the US is not in any war or skirmish with Russia, it is only breathtaking that somehow, you think Ukraine is in NATO and the US is at war with Russia.

The U.S., Britain, and Russia all guaranteed, in writing, Ukraine's security in the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons. Russia broke that agreement in 2014 and again in 2022.

People as crazy as you used to be ZOTTED.

No, people who wish the defeat of America and NATO by the Russians and Islamic terrorists used to be ZOTTED.

Since when has arguing for freedom and liberty and against foreign invasion and brutal slaughter become a zotting offense?

Do Conservatives no longer believe in freedom and liberty, as Reagan did, no matter where it struggles against aggression and dictatorship in the world today?

LOL! No, they didn't. They merely said the following:

“Ukraine, The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and The United States of America will consult in the event a situation arises which raises a question concerning these commitments.”

There is absolutely NOTHING in your foundational document to support anything assuring any sort of security for Ukraine. All the US did was say if things looked less than ideal, the US would hold talks. That's it.

Reading comprehension is a sign of intelligence.
