Putin has never EVER honored a single written agreement that he has signed. NEVER. Not the ceasefires. He promised Ukraine sovereignty for disarming nukes and here we are. He's lying piece of crap and there is no reason to agree to anything he wants except surrender.
Country A is saying that in order for them to stop their war on Country B, Countries C, D, E, F, G, H and I must agree not to let Countries B, J, K, L, and more into their Treaty organization.
It's hard to believe that the world has to watch this unfold without the decisive, strong US leadership once had. I don't get MAGA. Many over 60, like me, don't see it, especially with Ukraine. I clearly remember the fear of the USSR & arms race. Putin is a former KBG agent. USSR & KGB equal danger
Do you remember when the US hockey team beat the Russians in the 1980 Olympics? I never watched sports but I did that day and the sense of pride I had in the USA was overwhelming? I wish I could feel that again.
While Putin makes demands of other sovereign nations does he think that others can make demands of his sovereign nation? Because if the answer to that is no, then he should probably shut tf up about making demands of others.
He didn't sign it. Not that he would honor it if he had. But he considers everything signed by Russia before he assumed power as illegitimately imposed on Russia.
Putin wasn't President in 2009. He installed Dmitry Medvedev for a term because he hadn't changed the constitution yet and it still only allowed two consecutive terms. Signing that agreement and allowing the Libya intervention are two reasons why Putin replaced him.

Then do it anyway.
we gave to Ukraine (as did Russia) w/the Budapest Memorandum of 1994?
(Which the White House removed from their Website in April; indicating how this Administration honors USA’s commitments).

Putin lacks a fundamental concept of sovereignty.
That kind of guarantee?
