    One of them is the Budapest Memorandum

    Not sure which are the other to. Perhaps https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisbon_Protocol

    It’s always fascinating to hear Putin talk about “history”, and “denazification”. You know the truth, so you can observe a mad man lying, and perhaps believing it. Like a child telling an obvious lie, convinced he pulled it off. Except, much less cute and a lot more terrifying.

      The point of the lie isn’t to convince. Everyone knows it’s not true. The point of the lie is to make others repeat it, proving that they value your favor more than they value the truth.

      It’s a loyalty test.
