..... So, we are now bound at the hip to any country who is attacked and we have to shell out hundreds of billions in cash and weapons to them?
Off course - after all it was the USA that initiated and
signed the 1994 (Massandra Accords) & Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances on December 5, 1994 - next time don't get involved in European matters and don't sign treaties you won't fulfill.
Minsk 1+2 were signed by the NATO members France and Germany as well as by the OSCE, did the USA as the NATO head-honcho object??
What's the goal here, to keep helping them fight a war until one side loses enough people to surrender?
For Russia to fulfill it's TREATY obligations - aka out of Ukraine (which includes Crimea) furthermore an agreement about preparation payments by the AGGRESSOR RUSSIA. And SOLID security agreements that would involve the USA - after all the USA was involved to take away Ukraine's nukes!!! - therefore the Budapest Memorandum of 1994.
Basically the same procedure that the Entente imposed onto Germany in 1918 and the Allies in 1945.
Seems like the countries who signed on to NPT are tucked when a much larger nuclear armed country decides to attack it, and it means that the whole world gets drawn into their war, with no clear end in sight, and Russia knows this because since we all signed NPT, Ukraine will never have nuclear weapons, and the only thing the rest of us can do is just supply them with resources to keep the war going.
Where does it state that an NPT signatory can't refute aka sign out of the NPT???
As far as russias forces, aren't they getting most of their fighters out of the prisons?
They already ALL died in 2023. That is why now the SUPERPOWER Russia needs N-Koreans armed with small arms.
As a NATO general (a well acquainted person of mine) already proposed - Ukraine should launch missiles and bombs onto Russian cities - so that the general Russian population starts to realize that Putin is in a war. he has been hiding it pretty well - since 80% of his "regular forces" warring in the Ukraine, are recruited from Siberia aka the Asian republics.
Putin can't win this war, and he very well knows it - therefore he keeps waving around with his "nuclear potential" and asked his long time buddy Trump to help him. Hell even China didn't go so far as to "blackmail" Ukraine.
However IMO - Zelensky was ill advised (or foolish) to confront Trump and his gang personally - he should have send a schooled Diplomat or at least made use of a Diplomatic schooled Translator. There is a reason for these people to exist.
