And still he has thanked congress, Biden, and the American people every chance he has had anyway. Trump and Vance have earned no gratitude from anyone.
Made by the USSR, installed on Ukraine territory. Between 1991 and now Ukraine has been so corrupt, it hasn't managed to even build a municipal bridge. If I were aligned against Russia I'd be much more interested in their new Oreshnik missile. Worth knowing about. Used once so far, to good effect.
Ukraine built them, as a clone of the U.S. weapons about five years later. You may have missed it but Ukraine was the Westernmost industrially advanced part of the Soviet Union. Also, the Soviet weapons had good reasons to be positioned in Ukraine, close enough to NATO etc.
Exactly! Ukraine had 1,900 Soviet strategic nuclear warheads and between 2,650 and 4,200 Soviet tactical nuclear weapons deployed on its territory at the time of independence in 1991. All of these they gave up for US security assurances. Instead, Trump gave them threats and insults
It states that Ukraines independence and borders should be respected, which Russia breached in 2014, but that the only form of recourse Ukraine has is appealing to the Security Council of the UN. Can you see how flawed the deal was?
You are referring to section 4 of the agreement. That’s not what it states. It states that Russia, France, the UK, and the US will seek immediate UN Security Council action in support of Ukraine in case of an attack on Ukraine.
Russia and the US broke that agreement. Yes, it was a bad deal.
That is exactly what I said -_- It was not a security guarantee or a pledge to militarily protect Ukraine like people love to insist. It was solely a recognition of borders and a mandate for the security council to do *something* in the event of a violation
Not to mention that the US was able to achieve a >50% degradation of the military of a major geopolitical rival (and wrecking of its economy) without losing a single American.
What value American 'guarantees' now?

Folks. I’m early sharing what I wrote after Zelensky got ambushed today. Not about today, but a reminder on how we got here. It will be in my FREE weekly newsletter that drops Sunday. I’d love you to join. Yes, politics, but some pop culture stuff too. https://mdavis19881.substack.com/p/polirant-trump-is-still-putins-bitch
And I shouldn’t have used the term “pact”, US refused to create a pact, the assurances was as far as Clinton would go. An assurance is well short of a guarantee in diplomatic speak.
And folks wonder why this leader is insisting on more than lying trump’s promises? The thing about republicans is they continue assuming that all people are as dumb as MAGA REPUBLICANS, you know, those that continue trusting trump even as they’ve been fucked over by him and republicans. Nope 👎 💙💙💙🇺🇸

If that agreement no longer stands, maybe it is time for Ukraine to obtain some nuclear weapons. And this time, don't give them up for paper promises.
Biden the Great Betrayer.
He has no soul, no heart, no sense of humor, and no love, even for himself. He is, however, full of hate and jealousy.
Truly an evil human being.

…”fuck yoru”… who’s “yoru” & why should this stupid president fuck him/her?!…
There was no US Ukraine security pact since 2014, before Trumps first term
In return for surrendering their nuclear weapons, theUS provided security guarantees to Ukraine!!!!
