And if you can point me to any American missiles that were even discussed as being possibly being put in Ukraine, I've got a 2002-vintage Iraqi WMD factory I'd like to sell you. Also, that was 60 years ago and during the Cold War. News flash: the Cold War ended over 30 years ago. And you might note that America kept that agreement and never attempted to invade Cuba again. Russia signed a similar pledge never to invade Ukraine in return for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons, that treaty said nothing about NATO expansion. We see how much Russia's pledges are worth.

@nadyaroy4159 "Everybody who signed an agreement must comply with it." Does that include the Budapest Accord? In case you're having trouble with your research, let me quote it for you: "1. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine. "2. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, and that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defence or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations."

@SuperSaltydog77 There are no American nuclear missiles in Europe. None. There are a few bases where bombs with nuclear warheads are stored, the closest to Russia is Turkey. And of course the US Navy has nuclear missiles on ships and submarines, as does the Russian Navy. There are no, and never have been any, American nuclear weapons in Poland, Ukraine, or the Baltic States.

Don't fall for Putin's BS. He made his intentions crystal clear in his speech, he wants to rebuild the old Russian/Soviet Empire and he think Ukraine is not a legitimate country and Russia has every right to annex it. NATO expansion is only an excuse, just like his nonsense allegations of genocide against Russians. He has been planning this invasion since 2014 and the only thing the US government has affected is the timing, he thinks we're weak now and we won't do anything serious in response. If any American president is responsible it's Obama for doing nothing when Putin annexed Crimea, like any bully he took our desire to avoid war as weakness.
