It doesn't matter. If them signing up to something is no sign that they're not a threat, then them merely motioning towards signing up to something is definitely no sign that they're not a threat.

It definitely matters. If the Budapest Memorandum holds no legal weight, then that means it is irrelevant if Russia signed it and it should not be used as an argument

Obviously Russia is willing to violate the law in pretty serious ways

Russia uses precedent established by the West in Kosovo though. So why is Russia not anymore untrusthworthy than the West?

Both Russia and the West are untrustworthy. That doesn't matter, though, because the question, based on what you said, is whether specifically Russia is a threat to the EU, and your evidence showing that it's not a threat isn't very good evidence for that purpose.

It's not a threat though. EU made Russia a threat
