What is this shit?
What do you mean?
Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum, and in return Ukraine gave up their nuclear deterrent.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum
Are you going to argue that Russia is acting in self defense?
The Budapest Memorandum was violated and therefore nullified before 2014. It literally says that in your wikipedia article
It seems like both regimes violated their treaties: Kiev Violates Minsk Agreement Causing Fighting To Resume In Ukraine. There was also an oral treaty that talked about eastern expansion of NATO (which some call "a terrorist organization"), but it wasn't written, as far as I know. The USA also acted in "self-defense" against many countries, nearly 400 according to Wikipedia.
Also, why does Russia not have loads of troops near the border with Finland?
Surely, if NATO is such a threat. Why?
