If you read the memorandum text, at most the US promised to go to the UN security council if Ukraine's territorial integrity was threatened.

There is a lot of misinformation floating around the internet about this memorandum.

Furthermore, even Wikipedia states: "The Budapest Memorandum is not a treaty, and it does not confer any new legal obligations for signatory states. It was written in a way to avoid an impression of legal obligation."

Your words are not proven in court.

What court would care to hear it?

Where in the memorandum does it say the US is obligated to defend Ukraine? Please give me a direct quote.

Otherwise this is a nonsense objection. "You have to give me $1 million. You haven't proven otherwise in court!" What is the actual evidence for your position?
