Britain and Ireland signed the Budapest Agreement, and it is clearly violated by those 2 invasions. So the Brits & Irish should be sending boots on the ground. Oh, lookie here, WE signed that agreement as well.

There was no security guaranty in the Budapest Memorandum. Even if Russia attacks Ukraine with nuclear weapons, the memorandum only requires that we “seek immediate United Nations Security Council action”. Our primary obligation under the memorandum is to respect their sovereignty and refrain from using military force against them.

Hey, when pootypoot engaged in his “special military exercise” he OBVIOUSLY did not violate that agreement, so we are just as free to obviously not violate it in the same way with ‘special military exercise’ that actually DOES “respect the borders” per the agreement.

So buzz off.
