Yes, you NEVER hear about the Budapest Agreement on national news. It's always the "Ukrainian War." It's like the agreement never happened, or it was so long ago, Russia can disregard it. Infuriating.

More I think about it: say the "Mainstream" Press blasted the Agreement into new recognition: "Look what Russia agreed to!" In the circumstances as described by Thom, wouldn't it be just a slight tweak of the facts to say that Russia was coerced into the Agreement for fear of Ukraine aiming all those nukes at Russia? In the law, duress is a defense against enforcement of a contract.

I guess you could frame it that way, unless the agreement is widely reported, we'll never know.
