Thanks for reminding us of the Budapest Accords. We saw the liberation of Eastern Europe countries 1992=94 coming years earlier when working with the Russians on joint environmental science projects...internal signs that the Wall would come down, and it did. Yet chronically short-term memory seems to be common to nations and people. History really matters and has to be continually remembered, restated, honored and enlarged with truth, not lies.

Thank you Thom for this very pertinent information . No wonder Putins lie about Ukraine attacking Russia first has been put forth .

Vladimir Putin is a treacherously manipulative individual, who appears to have no conscience at all .

No wonder he and trump have been so easily familiar .

Im disappointed that no action was taken in 2014 by President Obama. It may have been different if the line was drawn then . So for all Russias posturing as victim ...everyone knows otherwise.

As far as authoritarian moves go , it applies across the board even with the budding authoritarian Trump,

He too is a victim. Allegedly.
