Security guarantees for Ukraine - A big fat lie - Again
People, especially politicians, seem to have forgotten that Ukraine already received security guarantees in 1994. The Budapest Memorandum basically states that Ukraine will get security assurances in return for giving up their nuclear arsenal. Ukraine gave up their nuclear arsenal. That's it. But when it came to the security assurances, nothing happened. The memorandum was already violated in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea. Nothing happened. The second violation was the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Nothing happened - again.
Now the US once again talks about security guarantees. Seriously? The US could bomb the shit out of Iran, because Iran had nothing to defend themselves with, but the US will do nothing against Russia. Not even with their so-called security guarantees. Otherwise the US would have already carpet-bombed the Russian occupied parts of Ukraine (which would have been perfectly legit according to the Budapest Memorandum). But guess what, nothing happened. The US is great with blackmail (trade deals), bullying (bombing a more-or-less defenseless country), ignoring the truth (Israel's concentration camp called Gaza and the daily slaughtering of innocent civilians), but actually standing up against oppression and defending a country they gave security assurances to is apparently not on their agenda.
Yet again, the US wants to pressure Ukraine to give up territory (to appease Putin) in return for another worthless security guarantee. Does anybody see the irony?
Europe is not much better. Politicians are great when it comes to talking, but not so much when it comes to actually doing something. In the end, nothing will happen.
Russia will take parts of Ukraine. Israel will annex Gaza and the West Bank. Europe will do nothing - maybe talk a bit and express their useless and inconsequential opinions.
