    they didn’t need NATO, they needed US to comply with is treaties, in hindsight trusting the US was a mistake.

        They were invaded by 1 of the 2 nations that agreed to protect them if they disarmed. The US did not uphold its obligations 3 times in a row through multiple administration’s. The latest conflict in Ukraine is a result of actions taken by the USA, followed by inaction on our part.

        If we didn’t request their disarmament, lie about protecting them, it would be a very different landscape there right now.

        It isn’t solely the fault of the US, but we are major contributors.
