There is a lot of misinformation floating around the internet about this memorandum.
Furthermore, even Wikipedia states: "The Budapest Memorandum is not a treaty, and it does not confer any new legal obligations for signatory states. It was written in a way to avoid an impression of legal obligation."
Where in the memorandum does it say the US is obligated to defend Ukraine? Please give me a direct quote.
Otherwise this is a nonsense objection. "You have to give me $1 million. You haven't proven otherwise in court!" What is the actual evidence for your position?
