People are so blind to the truth here.
At the time of Ukraine’s independence in 1991,
#Ukraine held the third largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world.
In 1994 the Budapest memorandum was signed between the United States, UK and Russia that stated with the disarmament of all nuclear weapons and ICBMs that Ukraine would was given security assurances and support against the threat or use of force against Ukraine’s territory or political independence. The countries promised to respect the sovereignty and existing borders of Ukraine.
This was broken both by
#Russia in 2014 with the annexation of Crimea and now by the United States.
What do we “owe” Ukraine? Well we owe them our word and agreement signed. What are we if we don’t uphold our word?
#Zelensky did not wear a suit because he is currently a war time president and wears the combat uniform of what his generals are wearing currently fighting the invasion started by Russia. If the suit is important, I guess conservatives forgot that Elon wore a tech support shirt and a baseball hat to the 1st cabinet meeting.
It’s a very dark time in America when we were raised to films, and a Cold War understanding that Russia is the bad guy and always has been.
Did republicans forget the Reagan era and prior? I didn’t.
To say that he didn’t say thank you, when there was actual footage of Zelensky thanking the president prior to the clip everyone else saw is mind numbing.
