Then how do you explain their violations of arms treaties. They are the main threat in the world which is why the great number of nations support Ukraine. Why don’t you do a search on google or whatever and see for yourself about their arms treaty violations and then ask yourself why they are doing that?

An interesting article from 9 June 2016. Here is an excerpt of an article from 25 February 2022:

"Shortly after U.S. President Joe Biden took office, he launched a 'strategic stability dialogue' with Russia, with the aim of finalizing a new strategic arms control deal and pursuing possibilities for new negotiations on cyberattacks and cutting-edge nuclear weapons technology.

"That dialogue has now been completely halted, officials and sources familiar with the matter confirmed, as Putin continues his all-out military assault on Ukraine and has threatened any country thinking of intervening with 'consequences like you've never seen.' The U.S. State Department is still clarifying diplomatic guidance for U.S. interactions with Russia moving forward.

"The halt in arms talks could have outsized significance after Putin made veiled threats about Russia's nuclear weapons arsenal in the runup to Russia's invasion of Ukraine—though Western officials caution that any chance of a nuclear escalation over the Russian invasion remains highly remote.

"...In 2019, under then-U.S. President Donald Trump, the United States formally withdrew from a Cold War-era treaty with Russia to eliminate intermediate-range nuclear forces (INF) that could strike between a range of around 310 to 3,400 miles, accusing Russia of having violated the treaty by testing and deploying missile systems that the treaty banned. All NATO allies backed Trump's decision and blamed Russia's violations for the INF treaty's demise. But some arms control experts still criticized the move at the time, voicing fears that Trump was dismantling an important arms control regime before exhausting all avenues to salvage the treaty.

After entering office, Biden vowed to reverse Trump-era arms control policies and revive arms talks on a variety of weapons systems with Moscow."

Biden Halts Russian Arms Control Talks Amid Ukraine Invasion Foreign Policy, 25 February 2022.

Post sanctions and after two years of war, arms control talks are going nowhere. Time will tell. Tick tock.

Oh please! Explain our violations. Good God, are you that naive?

They are the main threat in the world which is why the great number of nations support Ukraine.

Just stop. They are presented as the boogieman by nato and their member states to justify soaking the USA for more $. Truth is, nato used Ukraine to push Russia into this war.
