Before Euromaidan, Russia successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kyiv, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17, disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is false when Yanukovych breached the 1996 Ukraine Constitution's Article 17. ---- Reminder, the US has signed Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum that traded Ukraine's nuclear weapons for security assurances. Isolationists should have argued for US exit from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum and restore Ukraine's nuclear weapons! Mearsheimer is an idiot.

@brianticas2068 Russia invaded Ukraine with the intention of a classic imperialist land grab. Russia couldn't handle their Philippines Clark airbase exit moment.

@philipangelo595 The US has signed Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum that traded Ukraine's nuclear weapons for security assurances. Isolationists should have argued for US exit from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum and restore Ukraine's nuclear weapons! The US has made agreements with SK, JP, and TW to halt independent nuclear weapons programs in exchange for security assurances. US exit from Ukraine Budapest Memorandum has a negative outcome on US allies being in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). If you want to argue for the US to stay out of the unresolved Ukraine-Russia issues, then you should argue for ORDERLY and PROPER EXIT from the Budapest Memorandum. You're the real idiot.

@philipangelo595 The Cuban Crisis... did the US demand the same or Russia? Did the US tell Russia to leave Cuba altogether and threaten to invade Cuba if it didn't? NOPE! Russia continued its alliance with Cuba and even hosted military bases there BEFORE and AFTER the Cuban crisis. The Cuban crisis was about nuclear weapons! Ukraine doesn't have nuclear weapons because it handed them over to Russia back in the 90's for an agreement with Russia... that agreement which Russia signed was a promise to NEVER invade Ukraine. A promise Russia has long since broken! NATO has never even considered putting NUKES in Ukraine or any other Eastern European country!
