Does A Closer Look At The Budapest Memorandum Indicate We Are On The Brink Of World War III?

The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances is an international treaty signed on 5 December 1994, providing security assurances by its signatories in connection to Ukraine’s accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The Memorandum was originally signed by three nuclear-powers, the Russian Federation, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom. -Source: Wikipedia

There has been some talk over the last few days about the Budapest Memorandum and why it might force both the United States and the United Kingdom to defend Ukraine militarily against Russia. Ultimately these things are left up to the interpretation of those who make the decisions and I think we need to keep two things in mind when considering Barack Obama:

1. If he wants to go to war with Russia he can and will likely use this treaty as one of many excuses.
2. If he does not want to go to war then Barack Obama is not exactly a “letter of the law” leader (as proven by past decisions involving our own Constitution,disregard for the political process andprovisions of International Law).

So, regardless of what the Daily Mail, The Blaze or some guy from D.C. Clothesline say, it will not matter. Our interpretation is not the one of utmost importance. With that said, I would like to do something that most aren’t doing and show you the specifics of the agreement and give you a general history of why it was signed.

I will give you my opinion but I want you to formulate your own opinion based on facts and not the advice of some pundit.

For those who do not know your recent world history, this agreement was signed in an effort to disarm nuclear weapons. Before signing, Ukraine was in control of thethird largest nuclear arsenal in the world.

So when we hear about Ukrainian officials begging the world to provide military support, can you really blame them? Ukraine gave up the 3rd largest pile of nukes in the world and, in doing so, felt that it was entitled to “Security Assurances.”
