siftbotsays...Moving this video to ant's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

siftbotsays...Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by eric3579.
newtboysays...We have a treaty with the Ukraine.
In exchange for them giving up their nuclear arsenal left over from being part of the USSR, we, and Russia, agreed to guarantee their borders.

It's because Russia was secure in thinking we would not honor our promises to defend them that they invaded Crimea, a Ukrainian territory at the time, and later the Ukraine itself.
It should be noted that, in effect, Israel declared war against Russia days ago by attacking Syria, a Russian ally, and likely killing Russian troops in the process. Be prepared for that to get messy fast.
This business will get out of control, and we'll be lucky to live through it.
