The US has honored both the spirit and letter of this commitment and to date has provided over half of aid Ukraine has received, with it largely uninterrupted even under Trump. At worst, the US is an unreliable partner to Ukraine who should do more. Since the War began, Ukraine has been the US’s largest foreign aid recipient. In absolute terms, the US is still the largest single donor (iirc it was nearly matched by the EU, so maybe is matched by now.) No reasonable person could claim the country who provided half or Ukrainian aid isn’t helping.

Horseshit. GTFO with this vatniki talking point.

The phrase “security guarantees” was specifically excluded. The phrase “security assurance” was a distinction made by the US State Dept lawyers for this exact reason; it makes clear the US is not a guarantor. This has been well known since the signing so no misunderstanding here is reasonable. That is just your distortion of the facts.

Go read the full text of the Budapest Memorandum and then come back and provide a specific citation. I’ll be here waiting.

Yes, I’m aware. FYI, the phrase is a common slogan in Ukrainian, since 2014.

Crimea is Ukraine.

The threatened 100% semiconductor tariff is for companies not doing any production within the US. So it would mostly serve to cement the market position of large players such as TSMC, Intel, TI, et al.

Indeed.

I mean… lots of people on fediverse unironically refer to outsiders as “normies.” This is what we in the industry refer to as “a clue.”

Been there. I use a magnet broom. ~$20 at harbor freight.

lol. Keep dreaming your little murder fantasy, bub.

Sure, I suppose if you are looking to kill a truckload of immigrants. Otherwise, maybe dont assume any warm body must be ICE.

I am pretending no such thing, as I am not who you were arguing with, you churlish jackass. Now begone, Ive blocked you and your nonsense.

Here not even a helmet is required. You’re free to make road pizza all you like. I assume motorcycle insurance is astronomical.

Dont be a dolt. People with cars like that take them on closed tracks and indeed may go all the way to top speed.

I’ll see your two people and raise you to the whole family, Vietnam-style.

That also happens to me on Windows 11 at work.

Also Spanish

eh. To be fair, there are at least a handful of past Presidents who would mostly agree with the current one, in substance if not in form. Andrew Jackson would be going on Tucker Carlson, calling Trump soft on immigration.

Worse, tankies.

Right, also we should all hold hands and sing Kumbaya.
