Bur remember that by treaty US and UK (and Russia of course) promised to defend Ukraine in exchange of their nukes. At least if they try to go after you, you can still argue that you were trying to comply to a treaty that both countries have decided to ignore.

Upon orders from the government, sure. Taking the law into your own hands based on vague interpretation is different.

Yeah: my city signing an MOU saying they will enforce parking restrictions doesn't mean I have the OK to camp out on the street and write my own tickets.

Treaties are between governments. Individual citizens are not a member of the treaty. You don't get any authority to pursue individual action.

Treaties get broken, and your argument will fall on deaf ears.
