1) When Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons (they were third behind US and Russia) Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum agreeing to honor Ukraine's existing boundaries.

2) In 1922 when Ukraine out produced Russia farms after the catastrophic forced collectivization the Red Army confiscated all of Ukraine's food stocks and created a manufactured famine that killed 5 million Ukrainians.

Forcing the Ukrainians to negotiate with Putin is like forcing German Jews to negotiate with Hitler.

Finally the US gave it's word that we would support Ukraine if attacked. Do these idiots want us to go back on our promise?
