Obviously, I have many friends and family who live in Ukraine, and lately, the only discussions we have are about the US election and their fear of Trump becoming president. That's how things are fucked up! People of another nation afraid of someone will be elected in another state! Ukraine's corrupt government has bankrupted the country since day one of independence, and now it's on the brink of making hard decisions when Western support fades away! Nobody in Ukraine realizes these facts, and everyone thinks that someone owns something based on the useless Budapest Memorandum! Sad true story!

Interesting, if you think budapest memo is useless, what makes you think nato article 5 is not?

Budapest memo being useless make Ukrainians fall in fear, as well as a perception of article 5 being useless would put entire europe be scared af

Do you also think europeans, Australians, Japanese should really consider article 5 to follow the destiny of budapest memo or “this is different”?

Yes, entire world is somewhat stable due to global agreements (on paper) and the US military is the most important factor there, thats a fact

I have a great example for you of the so-called “Minsk agreement” did it work ?! No! International law is broken. Such agreements are nothing burger and can be broken by any party at any time !

Here is another example: remember useless League of Nations now rebranded into the NATO that designed to launder money and nothing more than that.

So, answering a simple question, you assume that article 5 would not be used in case rusia invades european nato members, do I get you right?

Global agreements on paper and the US military are only as good as the leaders and the administrations who are bound to them. I regret to say that the Biden administration can't even uphold the American constitution. This is why the world is becoming less stable.

The real reason why the world becomes less stable is that after ww2 many people in the world decided that democracy works and humanity agrees on some basic rules. And then a bunch of terrorists decided to challenge this assumption. And the more those people hesitate the less stable this world becomes by showing other terrorists that democracy doesn’t want to fight for its freedoms and it would better give up as much as possible in exchange for some hopium that “this is different”

Don't forget that after WW2 America was able to hold these agreements. Only after passing from generation to generation have we seen corruption slip into the system and deteriorate the stabilizing ideals.

If we had strong politicians who cared about the ideals, bitcoin would have never of been created. There would have been no need to doubt the trust in government, but this is idealistic dreaming and not connected to reality.

This is why we need a systematic approach like bitcoin to remove the flaws of man/politicians and put the real price into our choices and purchases.
