Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They didn't even say that. Unless there's a different agreement, but the Budapest Memorandum never mentions anything about security guarantees or protection.

Doesn't change the fact that Trump is a traitorous piece of shit, that the US is an unreliable ally or that helping Ukraine is the right thing to do for many reasons but let's at least ground things in reality. Unless there's another agreement I'm not aware of, I'm no history expert but I know I was surprised when I actually read the text of the agreement because I hear this talking point a lot.
