Interesting comment by a Ukrainian blogger that is if one really thinks about it---correct and goes a long way in explaining the lack of action by the US, Germany, UK, France towards Russia.
The West disarmed #Ukraine via the Budapest Memorandum. Arming it now means admitting the failure of a 'liberal international order'.
Let's admit it--disarming the third strongest nuclear power behind the US and Russia was the actual driver for the Budapest Memo not the defense of the Ukrainian sovereignty. Kind of a typical Mafia move in eliminating a nuclear competitor.
The Germans are attempting to hang onto the NATO Russian Accord from 1997 thus their unwillingness to expand any NATO bases/forces eastwards and they fear the Reunification 4 plus 2 agreements to be in danger as well if they challenge Russia ---not to count the loss of business.
