[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 419434, member: 33"] There is no proxy war, supporting Ukraine is upholding an agreement made with that country and its also about protecting the territory of other European countries in the future. As a result of the 1994 Budapest Agreement, Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances from Russia, the United States, the UK and other NATO countries. These assurances included pledges to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Russia's invasion of Ukraine meant they broke that agreement and NATO countries had a responsibility to support Ukraine as a result. When Russia seized Crimea, Obama's decision to do nothing emboldened Russia to attempt to take over the entire country. If NATO does nothing now, Putin's next move will be to invade Moldova, Estonia or Poland. Trump's decision to align with Putin and to stage manage that verbal assault on Zalenskyy was not only shameful but also shows the USA can't be trusted to keep agreements. This will eventually come back to bite the USA on the bum. [/QUOTE]
