The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

issue an arrest warrant for trump and mush.
try them in the hague or nuremburg
The real consequence of this will be felt many years later. Any agreement especially the looming future nuclear arms deal is pretty much worthless with the current actions of the white house.
Well, that’s two out of three signatories in breach then…
For them it was just a worthless piece of paper, just like for Putin.
No international treaties or deals signed by the USA are worth anything and everyone should assume that they’re all subject to being null and void without any warning.
Budapest what? They’ve been using copies of that thing as toilet paper in the State Department since 2004.
International treaties means nothing to them. Basically, not a single international agreement carries any legal weight in the USA as US courts only recognize US law. International agreements and treaties are merely suggestions for the current government.
The saddest part of breaching this memorandum by US is that the dream of nuclear warheads free world is just gone. Down the drain.
Nobody gonna voluntary gave on their nuclear warheads. Ever. For anything.
Agent Orange doesn’t even care about US domestic laws, he is not going to give a f**k about international laws.
The post WW2 order is finished, returning to imperial powers dividing up the world.
USA and Russia – Axis of evil.
While you are 100% correct it is still just a memorandum and not a treaty. A treaty is legally binding and enforceable by international law and must be ratified after signing, whereas a memorandum are none of those.
A memorandum is basically a gesture to express a mutual agreement and intent to cooperate.

That’s great.
But neither Trump nor his voters care about international law or treaties.
Trump does not even care about any treaties he negotiated himself.
Its nothing new, lesson is – north korea was right, its worth dragging your population through half a century of hunger and poverty to assure you have nuclear weapons.
Sounds like it’s time to give Ukraine a few nukes. No point in trying to uphold a deal that none of the other parts are upholding.
When we call Trump “transactional” it’s a mistake because inherent in that definition is completion of a transaction. Trump is notorious for breaking contracts and stiffing contractees. No country should do business with a liar.
Since when does Trump care for treaties signed by the US? He doesn’t even care for those he arranged himself.

Treaties? What about them? I only make deals, big deals, huge deals. – probably Trump
So uuh, do you think trump, or anyone supporting him, cares?
What are you gonna do about it anyways?
Thus, the US has joined the Russian Federation among the countries that have directly violated their obligations to a country that has voluntarily given up nuclear weapons. This is the end. All countries of the world have started developing their own nuclear weapons and will never give them up, as they have clearly seen the perspectives of refusal. Sooner or later someone will use them, someone will retaliate and it will be over.
Putin and Trump have effectively ensured the end of humanity’s existence. The Fermi paradox has been solved. Civilizations do not survive to the stage of colonization of other planets, destroying themselves.
Trump does not give a shit about anything. He yaps and yaps to show to everyone that he has “big balls”. He only cares about himself and money.
Who cares? Trump and his cronies nor Americans give a shit. That’s the reality of what is happening. They can do anything they want, tell each other that openly and prove it again and again by doing anything they want with no consequence besides lots of empty talk and useless sound bites.
Europe needs to face this reality.
Wow. Someone should report them to the memorandum police. Bill Clinton made an agreement with foreign powers without the authorization of the Senate. It was never ratified in the United States so for them it holds no legal value.
When Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 Barrack Obama felt no obligation to honor the document. When Russia invaded Ukraine proper Joe Biden similarly felt no obligation to honor the document. I would think by now people would realize that the US has no intention of ever honoring this document.
It would be great if the MAGAs care about those things. Unfortunately those people have no honour. They sold there freedom to own the libs. They broke all their oaths, all their promises, and they betrayed their allies. The World will remember this for decades to come.
Ah yes, finally, the Germany- Poland- Scandinavia- Japan- South Korea- Australia- Iran- South Africa- Canada- Brazil- Nuke any 100% speedrun…
The current US administration wouldn’t know how to honor an agreement unless it meant getting smashed in the face with brass knuckles.
