@laurareneesmith Presumably you're talking about the Budapest Memorandum?
First off it was a memorandum negotiated at a political level not a legally binding treaty that offered assurances but NOT guarantees.
The United States itself publicly maintained that "the Memorandum is not legally binding", calling it a "political commitment"
Secondly, nor did it allow for the fact that the US would spend years from Clinton onwards trying to stoke the unrest it has done in the country including taking provocative steps toward it (and Georgia's) NATO membership culminating in the CIA sponsored coup in 2014 with years spent meddling thereafter.
Thirdly, the US hasn't sought to 'defend' plucky Ukraine. It has sought to arm it, often offload its crappiest, outmoded materiel on it, saddle it with debt and, most egregiously, seen hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians needlessly slaughtered in yet another of its imperialistic, corporatist proxy wars.
If that makes anyone proud to be 'a Murrican', then God have mercy on their souls.
