What I will look up is if the US is obligated to retaliate if Ukraine is hit with an ICBM Nuke. I know Ukraine is not a member of NATO, though it continues to seek admittance. What I don't know though is what sort of promises of protection or retaliation the US has given Ukraine about the possibility of this war escalating.

Ok, did some research on this. The US does not have an actual Treaty with the Ukraine, but we do have a Bilateral Security Agreement with them. What that means is that the Senate, which has to ratify treaties, has not done so. While we will give material and financial support to the Ukraine to help it defend its borders, we are not obligated to actually join in to fight along side them.

"Since the agreement is not ratified by the Senate, it does not have the status of a treaty. Parties can leave the agreement six months after providing written notification. Additionally, Article II of the agreement states that the U.S. executive branch “intends to seek from the United States Congress appropriation of funds to help sustain a Ukrainian credible defense and deterrent capability, in war and peace.” Congress may consider whether to appropriate further security assistance for Ukraine and to conduct oversight of the implementation of the agreement."


What I am getting from this is that if Russia goes off the deepened and decides to send a Nuke into Ukraine, we are not obligated to respond back in kind. Since the Ukraine was encouraged to return all of their Nukes to Russia back in the 1990s by Bush & Clinton, the Ukraine may have no means to answer back. We still have something to consider about the escalation of this War, but there is a path for us to back off and let cooler heads prevail if Russia goes crazy.


"And so when Yeltsin told Bush at Camp David in 1992 that Moscow’s priority was to see Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan become denuclearized, he found a very receptive ear..."

'But President Clinton and Secretary of State Warren Christopher bullied Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk to do our bidding, and at an airport meeting in Ukraine they told Kravchuk in threatening terms that if Ukraine did not agree to transfer its nukes to Russia, “it would be a major setback for Ukraine’s relations with both Russia and the U.S.”'

*I suggest you read the whole breakdown of this yourself in the links I supplied above. Better to be informed about the situation we are in, so that we understand how much we need to be worried over this.

This is more about Europe’s border with Trump coming in. It’s all but assured America will back off and the Republican Senate won’t move without Trump’s okay.

So it’s now about if Ukraine falls, how willing is Europe to tolerate an enraged Putin who has already shown how far he will push things.

There’s some kind of war coming(hot or cold)!unless Putin is outta there and Russia decides on a new leader.
