Kneecapping our ally and putting innocent lives at risk goes against everything America stands for. Whoever made the decision, is attempting to hand the keys to Ukraine over to Putin’s murderous regime.

First, Ukraine is not an ally in any way, shape or form. Nor are we bound to protect them. Second, Ukraine is now focused on civilian targets. Changes things quite a bit.

The idiot is you. We never agreed that we would defend Ukraine if they gave up the USSR's nuclear weapons stationed in their country. Please don’t be ignorant and read the actual Budapest Memorandum. It’s only 2 pages, it will only take a minute. Here is the important part, Article 4: The only thing we told Ukraine we would do is to bring any aggression up to the UN Security Council. We, in fact, did this in February 2022, but Russia vetoed it.

In no way was the Budaphest Memorandum some kind of alliance. In fact, it was the US forcing the Ukrainians to do something because we obviously didn’t trust an impoverished former soviet republic with nuclear materials or weapons.
