Does the Budapest Memorandum compel us to defend Ukraine against Russia

5. I might agree with you IF Guantanamo Bay

had been closed down during Obama's first term of office. Obama may not have been involved in the US going down the slippery slope of war mongering and torture but I am not convinced that we have stopped our nefarious activities. This is not a slap at Obama but a concern that there are agencies within our government that continue to operate outside the law. I do not know if there is any President that will ever be able to unring that bell and bring these agencies, the MIC and the 1%ers to heel and live to talk about it. I am just too skeptical.
