I don't know what Russia did and didn't do regarding the things you say, but there is one important thing in all this.[...]
BA, that is one of the many things you know and one of the many reasons why you should listen to people who do instead of giving lessons, headless chicken.
Nobody wants a repetiton of Budapest more than Ruzzia, and it is not to remain calm and peaceful in the nearby future. You say you are pro-peace, but all you speak of is making sure that Ruzzia gets a good pay-day for their military invasion.
You finally figured out that people don't know everything individually. But there is much better strength when there are a bunch of people telling their side of the story. Or did you know that already?

BA, it is perfectly OK not to know, that is not entirely your fault - particularly if you are a victim of the Texas educational system as it might be the case.
What is up to you and completely wrong is to come here pretending to enlighten others when you do not know even the very basics of the origing of Ukraine, why they gave away the nukes they had after the collapse of the USSR and how this affects the current situation and any possible future agreement. Once you understand that, come back to the thread, apologise for your previous ineptitude and egocentrism and have some degree of productive dialogue if you still want to.
The issue is that any future deal will not be based on mutual trust and cooperation. It is evident that international treaties with Ruzzia do not work - it is a question of mindset really, Ruzzia believes that only the other part has to follow through and it has to be under Ruzzia's interpretation without any question and usually under threat.
