@istone826 @randahl

the #budapestMemorandum was a flimsy document with no security guarantees

i'm not letting the west off the hook

whatever the nature of the document, the west's tepid response to the invasion of #ukraine by #russia is disgusting

but there is a common misunderstanding of strong guarantees in the budapest memorandum that do not exist

in fact it feels a little like #kremlin disinfo:

the redirection of anger at #theWest instead of where it belongs, directed at #moscow

@grrlscientist Thanks - either had no idea or had completely forgotten - #Ukraine #territorialintegrity #politicalindependence #budapestmemorandum
