Comment on YSK that in 1994, Ukraine voluntarily gave up nuclear weapons. Europe and the United States promised they would defend Ukraine if it was ever threatened.

Did you just conveniently forgot humanitarian aid?

And the whole call USA in need, from a NATO standpoint, it has only been the other way around, and we were there for them. We (Europe) also let the hard power plus soft power to the USA after WW2. They have benefited enormously from that internationally, economically… We also have been buying USA weapon systems for enormous quantities.

The deal? If we need you, USA, you’ll help us against Russia (I don’t think there is another threat model).

First try: slow walking and half siding with Russia…

Well it seems like the party is over and good old europe is coming back.

Interesting times.
