but that promise was broken.

That is ultimately where my criticism falls to. I believe the US and NATO powers cynically never had any intention to back up Ukraine to ths extent being promised. Both then and now.

Overpromising and underdelivering is a pattern I want broken.

Like, I want my country to be subject to international law and the ICC. I would love to see many of my elected leaders arrested for war crimes. (And the whole other thing with the pedophilia.)

Honestly I think dragging Bibi and Trump to the Hague would be one of the strongest actual deterrents of more war around the globe.
