You're comparing this to Trump abandoning our commitment to an ally?
ROFL
The stupid game Marxists play.
{
Republican lawmakers immediately accused the administration of handing Russian President Vladimir Putin a major political victory. Democrats urged the White House to reconsider, and the Kremlin called the news a "positive signal."
The State Department announced the decision in a report to Congress. The move was first reported by Axios.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken opted to waive sanctions against the Russian-owned company behind the pipeline, Nord Stream 2 AG, as well as its German CEO, Matthias Warnig, and other corporate officers, because sanctions "would negatively impact U.S. relations with Germany, the EU and other European allies and partners," said the State Department report, which was obtained by NBC News.}

Play your game and scream "NUHN UHN" now.
Think Trump Tower Moscow.There is nothing to gain from supporting Russia in any way so explain Trump's love of Putin. I can't.

What ally and what commitment? President Trump isn’t abandoning any allies or commitments to them. Ukraine has never been an ally of ours, never a significant trading partner, shares no formal alliances with America, has never been in our sphere of influence, and shares no historic economic, cultural, or diplomatic ties with the United States.

Maybe she meant the Sinaloa Cartel, who are indeed close allies with the democrat party and particularly the Biden Cartel.
Ukraine has been independent and nonaligned since 1991. The US got involved with Ukraine via The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances of 1994.
The U.S. didn’t merely “decide to support” the Euromaidan Color Revolution—the Obama regime caused it. On November 21, 2013, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych formally chose to maintain Ukraine’s long-standing political, cultural, and economic relationship with Russia, rather than proceed with the EU association agreement.The US decided to support the Euromaidan movement in 2013 and then help Ukraine to resist Russian land grabs in Crimea and two oblasts in eastern Ukraine (Donbas). Via Euromaidan and subsequent new laws by parliament, Ukraine removed herself from any so-called "Russian sphere" and openly courted closer ties with Europe ( the European Union Association Agreement) and with Washington.
The US built a brand new embassy in Kyiv (the embassy compound covers one square city block) and US assistence began to pour in. (image redacted for brevity reasons)
Anyone with even half-a-brain would conclude that Russia does in fact know exactly where its missile/drone munitions will detonate.
Which leads to the conclusion that Russian missile/drone attacks on civilian targets are purposeful, are commissioned for the sake of abject terrorism, and are war crimes.
In June 1992, Russia and the USA formally launched the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program. This initiative funded the dismantlement and secure storage of nuclear weapons and materials in former Soviet republics. On December 5, 1994, Ukraine agreed to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as a non-nuclear state in exchange for "security assurances" from the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom. Under the Budapest Memorandum, the signatories pledged to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and refrain from using force or economic coercion. Let’s be clear: the only "security guarantee" was that, in the event of an invasion, the matter would be referred to the UN Security Council—there were no actual guarantees of military assistance.
Yes, let's be clear. Moscow invaded Ukraine despite "assurances" that it wouldn't. Moscow has violated every treaty signed with Ukraine since independence.
You can bet that Kyiv won't again fall for such Budapest sematics knowing Moscow's treachery and Trump's disdain for NATO and his fetish for Vladimir Putin.
You're overlooking—or deliberately misstating—history. Russia didn't intervene militarily in Ukraine until after Obama and his color-revolution dominatrix (Nuland) staged the 2014 coup that sparked the country's civil war. That war led to the Minsk I and Minsk II agreements, both of which were violated by the Ukrainian government when it continued shelling civilians in the Donbas region.
By the way, Ukraine and Russia were reportedly close to reaching a peace agreement just weeks after the current war began. Russia agreed to withdraw its troops, and Ukraine would remain neutral—no NATO membership. But Zelenskyy backed out (he has a habit of walking away from deals, as the U.S. has also discovered during the failed minerals negotiations) after the Biden administration sent Boris Johnson to Kyiv to kill the agreement.
Who’s quibbling over “Budapest semantics” and insisting the only remedy is a trip to the UN Security Council? The real first step is to embrace a peace framework: agree on terms, impose a cease-fire, then sit down for negotiations.
A more practical model is the Korean War armistice and partition—fighting stopped, a buffer zone established, yet no formal peace treaty. Apply that to Ukraine: once the guns fall silent, hold elections. Let residents of Donbas choose independence or reintegration (I suspect they’ll choose independence). Once a newly elected government is in place in Ukraine (whether led by Zelenskyy or not), let that new government negotiate with Russia to end the violence.
"Obama and his color-revolution dominatrix (Nuland) staged the 2014 coup"
Hyperbolic misrepresentation of reality.
Right—because we’re supposed to believe the U.S. has never meddled in another country’s internal affairs! Victoria Nuland was literally caught on tape discussing which puppet leaders she wanted installed. But sure, tell us more about how Washington just promotes “democracy.”

Was the world not a aware that we were supporting Ukrainians in their effort to get out from under Putin's heel?
What time frame are you referring to? How was Obama's initiating the 2014 Ukrainian Coup, toppling the democratically elected President? If the people voted for Yanukevich, how were they under Putin's heel?
If you are referring to the Biden proxy war, how can the world not know? Is the world not aware that Ukraine is losing the war, and in the process, continuing to kill thousands of people every day in a battle it cannot win. The solution is to end the war now, just like the Korean war ended.
While you disingenuously ignore Moscow's meddling in the affairs of others.....
Finland, Poland, Lithuania, Estionia, Latvia, East Germany, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Checkoslovakia, Chechnya, Cuba, Egypt, Sudan, Ukraine, Transnistria, Georgia, Syria, Republic of the Congo, 21 other African nations, ad nauseum.

Yet, you cheered Obama's 2014 coup -- and then complain when Russia intervened in the civil war that Obama started. So what is it -- are you against any nation meddling in another nation's internal affairs, or only when a nation you don't like does it?Russia can meddle. Other's can't. That's the Putin logic.
How was Obama's initiating the 2014 Ukrainian Coup, toppling the democratically elected President? If the people voted for Yanukevich, how were they under Putin's heel?
After Obama's coup...The president was impeached.
After Obama's coup...
Obama's coup = Stupid talk
The Ukrainian government removed Yanukovich from office after he ran away.
