QuoteThe Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances refers to three identical political agreements signed at the OSCE conference in Budapest, Hungary on 5 December 1994 to provide security assurances by its signatories relating to the accession of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The memorandum was originally signed by three nuclear powers: the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents.[1]

Who might that be?  Are they threatening a democracy in Europe or Asia?

^ At a minimum, I would add Iran and North Korea. 

When it comes to being less than truthful, well, I think every country, including ours, has been guilty of that at times.  Some, obviously, more than others.  As such, today, I would say Saudia Arabia, Belarus, Afghanistan, Myanmar Venezuela, Cuba and Kazakhstan would be notable leading candidates to add to the list.  I am sure there are others, just not as obvious or prominent.  Certainly, any country with an oppressive government and/or dictator is a candidate.

The US Republican Party, although the continent would be North America.
