Article 5 has:
such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force
which might also be thoughts and prayers while Trump is in the White House and
Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security
which is basically what was offered to Ukraine.

Not at all. You clearly haven't read what's actually in there.
Clinton didn't think Congress would ratify strong guarantees. Ukraine itself wasn't in a position to ask for much more, because it didn't have the economy to afford to maintain nuclear weapons. The result is an agreement that aggression against Ukraine would be brought up with the UN security council, and that's about it.
In providing military aid, the US has exceeded what was promised.

By the same logic neither does NATO's article 5.

I did. The United States followed everything it says. It just doesn't say to do very much.

Yeah well look at what's happened to Ukraine after they gave up their nukes. Basic logic.

Trump and Netanyahu have alienated 92 million people from the west and kicked a massive, nuclear, hornets nest. I worry that the Tehran regime has nothing left to lose at this point. They're on the ropes militarily, but they're not out of power.

Sad truth is having a nuke is a prerequisite to self determination in today's world.

Good! I hope it becomes the strongest. No, for real. Unironically. Fact. No cap? Whatever the kids say these days to mean “seriously.”
