  1. For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. US/UK is following Budapest Memorandum's points 4 and 6. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO Article V.

  3.  @Mortablunt > Who invaded Iraq? Iraq invaded Kuwait. Report: Saudi Arabia Presses U.S. on Overthrowing Saddam Hussein Date: January 19, 1992 From AP NEWS NEW YORK (AP) _ Saudi Arabia is pressuring the Bush administration to secretly arm and give intelligence to Iraqi opposition forces so they can work to overthrow Saddam Hussein, a newspaper reported Sunday. The Saudis want the United States to give arms and intelligence to Kurdish rebels in north Iraq, Shiite Muslim fighters in the south and Sunni Muslim opposition forces in central Iraq, the Times said, quoting U.S. and allied officials it didn’t name.

  4.  @Mortablunt  >Who invaded Grenada? Belligerents Side A United States Grenada Grenadian opposition Caribbean Peace Force Barbados Jamaica Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States Antigua and Barbuda Dominica Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Vincent and the Grenadines VS Side B Grenada Grenada Cuba Military advisors: Soviet Union Libya East Germany. The U.S. and a coalition of six Caribbean nations invaded the island nation of Grenada It was triggered by the strife within the People's Revolutionary Government which resulted in the house arrest and execution of the previous leader and second Prime Minister of Grenada Maurice Bishop, and the establishment of the Soviet-backed Revolutionary Military Council with Hudson Austin as Chairman. The Reagan administration in the U.S. launched a military intervention following receipt of a formal appeal for help from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States. In addition, the Governor-General of Grenada Paul Scoon secretly signaled he would also support outside intervention, but he put off signing a letter of invitation until 26 October.[12] Reagan also acted due to "concerns over the 600 U.S. medical students on the island" and fears of a repeat of the Iran hostage crisis. Your argument is hypocritical.

  5.  @yankrasnou8289  > It is true that Ukraine wants American aid and that will result getting nuclear weapons being placed so close to the Russian border FALSE narrative. If the US and UK abandon Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum, it will nullify the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons being applied to Ukraine. Ukraine's current government already declared they will restore their nuclear weapons if the west doesn't fulfill Budapest Memorandum's security assurances. Australia has sold uranium to Ukraine. For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3.

Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. US/UK is fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO Article V. Are you arguing for the US to abandon the Budapest Memorandum?

  8.  @MrVitalirapalis  Victoria Nuland's grandparents on her father's side are Ukrainian immigrants. Soviet–Ukrainian War occurred between 1917 to 1921, a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic vs the Bolsheviks i.e. Ukrainian Soviet Republic and Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (modern-day Russian Federation). Ukrainian People's Republic is the modern-day Ukraine. This is an "old world" issue.

  9.  @MrVitalirapalis  19 December 1991: Germany announces that it will recognize Croatia on January 15, 1992, with or without the rest of the European Community. 23 December 1991: Germany becomes the first major power to recognize Croatia and Slovenia as independent states 15 January 1992: The European Community recognizes Slovenia and Croatia. Without NATO(and U.S.), Germany would have done it alone and we would have another WW1 trigger i.e. Russia would have taken on Germany as in WWI. Germany used NATO with North America's raw material security guarantees to further its own interest when it failed in WW1's goals. Decoupling North America's raw material security guarantees from mainland Europe will enable Russia to win any war of attrition against Germany! Germany is not stupid. Land Area for potential raw materials with the war of attrition context Canada = 9.985 million km² United States = 9.834 million km² Subtotal: 19.819 million km² Australia = 7.692 million km², signed defense agreement Japan (377,975 km²). Europe = 4.233 million km² Russia = 17.13 million km² China = 9.597 million km² Telling the Yanks to go home after backing Germany's initiative in the Balkans. Fukoff ------ From theguardian Date: 26th of Jan 2022. Australia is considering supplying extra liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe after the US and the UK raised fears the continent’s reliance on Russia makes it vulnerable in a growing standoff with Vladimir Putin. A senior Biden administration official revealed the US was also “looking at the global flow of LNG – whether it’s from the United States or from Australia or from other places”. Qatar is also part of the energy supply talks. The official said Russia had already restricted the flow of gas through the pipeline running through Ukraine from about 100m cubic metres a day to 50m. The Australian resources minister, Keith Pitt, said Australia was “a leading and reliable global exporter of LNG” and “stands ready to assist with any request for further supplies”. “This shows how important Australian resources are to energy supplies around the world,” Pitt said in a statement. From The World Factbook Top natural gas exporters in m3/year (estimates) in 2020 1. Russia = 199,928,345,000 2. United States = 149,538,000,000 3. Qatar = 143,700,000,000 4. Norway = 112,951,000,000 5. Australia = 102,262,000,000
