The 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances was specifically a memorandum, not a treaty. It was never intended to be submitted to the US Senate for ratification.


> Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances was specifically a memorandum, not a treaty

Nobody in this thread claimed it was. A signed memorandum is still a promise and an agreement, even if not ratified as a treaty. We broke an agreement with Ukraine, letting her get sacked. We didn’t breach a treaty.

Lies on a handshake may not get far in court. They’re still lies.
