Which US policy do you think caused Russia to invade Ukraine? Was it the one where the USA, along with the UK and Russia, all jointly signed an agreement to respect Ukraine's (and several other post-USSR nations') independence and sovereignty in their existing borders (as of 5 December 1994), including an obligation to seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used", so that Ukraine would give up the nuclear weapons it had accidentally inherited from the USSR? Put it another way: given your stance on the US mil-ind complex, do you think this war would stop if the USA completely vanished from the international scene? Because the EU is right next door and also doesn't want Russia thinking it can do stuff like this. |
