Treaties have a good use traditionally in Russia. They are always lacking toilet paper.
I will agree with you on that, but that is not my point.
The treaty states that if Ukraine gives up the worlds 3 largest stock of nuclear weapons that the United Kingdom, United States of America are obligated to protect the sovereign nation of the Ukraine from any enemy that attack from without it's borders.
In other words, if the USA doesnt stand up and tell Russia NO, and only over my dead body, NO OTHER NATION WILL TRUST THE USA OR UK TO PROTECT THEM IF THEY HAND OVER THEIR NUCLEAR WEAPONS. We all know that Russia is behind this so that makes it a enemy from without.
This happened one time before(1994) but was taken care of by the Ukraine government. ( Since the conflict was from the inside.)
In 1990, Meshkov was elected as a deputy to the Supreme Council of Crimea (the republic's parliament). There he became the co-founder of the RDK Party (Republican movement of Crimea). In 1994, he stood at the helm of the electoral bloc "Rossiya" for the republican presidential elections, where he easily defeated in the second round of elections Mykola Bahrov who ran as an independent. At that time, Mykola Bahrov was the head of the Supreme Council of Crimea. During the second round of the 1994 Crimean presidential elections, Yuriy Meshkov won with 72.9 percent of the vote, and was elected as the republic's only president.
His main political platform was to facilitate much closer relationships with the Russian Federation up to the possible annexation of Crimea by Russia.[citation needed] Meshkov tried to initiate a military-political union with Russia and completely disregarded opinions of the Ukrainian government.[citation needed] He also tried to force the rotation of the Russian currency, issue foreign passports to the Ukrainian population, and even transfer Crimea to the same time zone as Moscow. Due to the unforeseen resistance from the local opposition, Meshkov only managed to put his autonomous republic into Moscow's time zone. He also appointed the Russian economist Yevgeny Saburov as vice prime-minister; Saburov virtually became the head of the government. Other government officials[who?] disputed the appointment, arguing that Saburov could not hold the position because he did not have a Ukrainian passport. Yevgeny Saburov was forced to resign. After that he managed to paralyze the work of the Supreme Council of Crimea.
In 1995, the Ukrainian parliament scrapped the Crimean Constitution and abolished the post of president on March 17, 1995. After couple of preceding warnings in September and November 1994, on March 17, 1995 the President of Ukraine, Leonid Kuchma, signed the Law of Ukraine that scrapped the amended Crimean Constitution and some other Laws of AR Crimea, on the grounds that they contradicted the Constitution of Ukraine and endangered the sovereignty of Ukraine.
