Lets be clear...the real purpose of the Budapest memorandum was to keep nuclear weapons off the black market, as the Ukrainian kleptocrats were selling everything that wasn't nailed down to the highest bidder.
Beyond that, the West has spent billions interfering in the domestic politics of Ukraine in direct violation of the memorandum...so stop pretending the West has 'clean hands' when it comes to the Bucharest Memrandum which is NOT a treaty and does NOT obligate the United State to defend Ukraine.
“Under Obama, The U.S. has become a very poor ally.”
Yes, and he is a total lying fraud with NO INTEGRITY.
Given his typical anti-military agenda, we can forget standing tall for any agreement the USA may have.
Anything about him is viewed with TOTAL disgust. And our allies know it.
Incorrect.
To be very clear:
The only place the Bucharest Memmorandum is not considered a treaty by some is the U.S. because it was not submitted to the Senate for approval.
So in your mind, the United States completed nearly 16,000 international agreements between 1946 and 1999, with only 912 of those agreements submitted to the Senate.. so should ALL the other nations consider them “non-binding” as well?
ONCE AGAIN, since the Franklin Roosevelt presidency, only 6% of international accords have been completed as Article II treaties. Most of these executive agreements consist of congressional-executive agreements.
Ukraine had control of over the world’s third-largest stockpile of nukes: bigger than China, Britain and France combined.
Russia, the UK, the US, and Ukraine concluded two years of negotiations with agreement that the signatories would among other things:
“respect the Independence and Sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine”
“refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine”
However, Ukraine’s sovereignty HAS been compromised despite security assurances and despite Kiev giving up nuclear stockpiles. Laurent Fabius, French Foreign Minister, said recently: “countries that have nuclear weapons won’t want to give them up, while countries that don’t have them may want to acquire them because that will be the only way to protect their territorial integrity!”
So, much for Obama’s international policy!
You had no problem giving him Czechoslovakia, and in ‘68 to soviets. ‘99 Bombing of Serbia. So stop pretending...
Maybe you should read The 500 Hundred.
Piss off you Putinia lickspitlle, there was a free election in Ukraine, take your FSB shite and rotate.
“So in your mind...”
NO...
Not in anyone’s mind, in the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.
Article II, Section 2, Clause 2
NOTHING the President may sign with another nation is binding, without the consent of a SUPER-MAJORITY of the United States Senate.
NOTHING....
This includes Memoranda for Propaganda purposes like the Budapest Agreement.
“Piss off you Putinia lickspitlle, there was a free election in Ukraine, take your FSB shite and rotate.”
The FACT that it was coup doesn’t change, no matter how many childish and filthy insults you spew.
Maybe Ukraine should go directly to the Chinese. They have more US money than the US does. The US is broke, military stretched to the limit, and our problems are right here - massive debt, socialist in the White House, Muslims all over the place and increasing in numbers. Let Europe take care of its own.
This seems like a well funded sham movement. The Communist Party Russian Federation is controlled from the Kremlin.
Mmmm. No. If Ukraine wants weapons they can pay cash.
Oh, sure, we believe you and the FRAUD Putin’s version. Guess I’ll go read Russia Today. That’ll give the answers. I guess people were not camped out protesting for months for nothing.
Yanukovych was cast aside and fled. No coup. Nothing to wave the star and sickle over.
I tried to post an RT article in News for giggles. Try it and have a chuckle at the message that pops up.

Poor little sheeple. They don’t know a banker from a sheepdog. They’re just sheeple. Poor little sheeple. Yet some of them prattle on so about things they know absolutely nothing of, other than what the banker’s information factory feeds them.
Yup. Russia invading yet another small country is all about the bankers. And Monsanto.
You’re right, the IMF has absolutely nothing to do with Ukraine.
Where do you come up with this stuff?
