***If the Ukraine people weren’t dumb, why did they elect Leonid Kravchuk, who you call a Russian shill as their first President? That’s on them. I’m not responsible for their bad decisions.***

It turns out that Ukraine was paid $110 million to sign the Budapest Memorandum and give up its nuclear weapons. It is the second poorest country in Europe (after Moldova) and after the collapse of the USSR times were tough so they must have really needed money. However, Kravchuk was previously the head of the Ukrainian branch of the Soviet Communist Party, so who knows where his loyalties really lay.

***The U.K. was also involved in the Budapest Memorandum. It’s time they stepped up, and encouraged the rest of Europe to step up too, and police their own backyard***

That has already happened.

"t turns out that Ukraine was paid $110 million to sign..."

It figures prostitutes love making money.

"...they must have really needed money..."

And I'm sure there was no accountability for where that money went, like there is no accountability for the billions Ukraine has already received from this country.

The U.K. stepping up..."that has already happened."

As of the end of February, the U.S. has sent $75.4 billion. The UK $17.5 billion. Even Japan has sent $8.3 billion, about half of what the U.K. has sent, and more than a lot of the other European countries. The UK needs to step up a little more, as do all the other nations. This is ludicrous.
