"security assurances" – in russian and ukrainian lang versions of documents its Guarantees.
Downgrading it via translation it's was shitty thing to do.
Yeah bullshit. Ukraine had every ability to launch those nukes. The "Nuclear codes" are not there to arm the warheads. They are there to verify the authentication of orders of the units delivering said warheads. Those units have the technical ability to maintain, arm, and deploy those warhead.
The Ukrainian breadbasket MUST NOT fall into Putin’s hands nor nukes into Khamenei’s.
The fact is that Russia is allowed to attack Ukraine because Russia have nukes, and from the start there have been little consequences for Russia from their aggression.
In a scenario where China attacks Taiwan, the west will also avoid joining the conflict because China has nukes.
Therefore, there is a logic for countries that are under threat from neighbouring nuclear powers to obtain their own nuclear weapons – if no one will come to our defence because the aggressor has nukes, then we must have our own nuclear deterrent.
Russia have proven that Nato, the UN and US and its allies are paper tigers.
(if Iraq actually had WMDs the US would NOT have invaded)
NATO must never let Ukraine develop nukes as the world already has too many unstable countries in possession of such weapons.
Putin is not scared of the NATO nuclear umbrella because on paper he can equal it and that's all that matters to him. He's scared because he knows he will lose a conventional war against NATO. For all their blustering and rabble rousing in the pacific, China doesn't want anything to do with a European conflict and won't help Putin if NATO eventually has enough and decides to put a stop to his aggression for good. He's had to bring in North Korean help to even make an attempt at annexing a single non-NATO nation for gods sake. That is how poorly their soldiers are trained, and that is how poorly they take care of their soldiers. A nuclear arsenal only goes so far before the world has had enough of your sh!t and decides to eradicate a threat. See Pakistan and that terror dude I'll probably get censored for mentioning.
Bill Clinton: Took Ukraine's Nuclear defense away and created NAFTA…
Imagine what Nato and Russia would've done to Ukraine if they tried to Pursue the Bomb lmao
If by some chance the Orange Maniac wins in 10 days and sets USA on a path of disengagement from the world by pulling our troops from Europe and Asia, just to put them in work to hunt internal enemies and guarding borders, then the nuclear proliferation is almost assured. America not guaranteeing nuclear umbrella to Germany, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Japan, South Korea, Australia, etc, means these countries will seek that umbrella the only other way possible – by getting the nukes themselves.
The scary future awaits us if the Orange "peacemaker" manages to swindle his way back to the White house.. But I'm mildly optimistic and becoming more so by the day, that he has no chance. Are riots possible? Sure. Is he gonna challenge Harris winning? Potentially.. Is the military on his side? Absolutely not…
The case of Ukraine taught every nation that having nukes will be a good defense against aggressors.
Ooh, the warographics Channel change d name
I personally dont think Russia should dicate what the western world gives Ukaraine militarily. Who invade who again? Allowing Russia to set the rules/tone does nothing but hurt NATO in the long run.
When tf was this a possibility 😅
Remember that time the US Said they don't protect Ukraine from any territorial aggression from Russia. If Ukraine gave Russia Ukraine's stockpile of Soviet nuclear weapons.
13:31 The Hbomb, brought to you by Samsung
The US committed a terrible thing against Ukriane by forcing Ukriane give up its nuclear weapons but also 10's of thousands of non-nuclear missiles, bombs and more… the purpose was to demilitarize Ukriane, leaving it open for Russian invasion….
The cowardly Americans since then have betrayed Ukriane many times… first in 2014 when Obama told Ukriane to not fight when Russia invaded Crimea… then Russia invaded eastern Ukraine, fortunately the Ukrainians woke up to the stupid AMerican idea of not fighting. today these weak Americans do not care how many UKrainians are killed, murdered or tortured by Russians… The USA ensures Ukriane cannot fully protect its lands and refuse to allow Ukriane to attack launch points in Russia with US weapons.
The USA will never allow Ukriane to enter NATO https://youtu.be/gm3MchAEhCM?si=EZd6CiE-8LFKBNEM
the USA has not and will not support Ukriane to win this war Russia started. the US goal is to enable Ukriane to wear Russian troops down. but not win, americans do not want to offend Putin's ego.
So Ukriane must develop Nuclear weapons as no western will protect them… today the West watches as Russia slowly destroys all of UKraine.
The USA fully supports Putin to conquer Ukriane but only do so slowly. the USA will sit back and just watch.
All this because TRUMP and the GOP are stopping Kiev from defending itself.
Your argument is facetious. They're asking for security guarantees OR nukes. The West says mo to either. The West can't see that they're the problem.
Sorry but letting Ukraine just Nato would be a direct provocation of Russia, especially sending nukes there. Originally it was supposed to be a neutral country between Russian and Nato countries, one of the very reason Putin used to invade Ukraine was the encroachment into this territory by US proxy forces, the best and only way to end the invasion would be through negotiations, its the only thing that ever works, that will prevent further blood shed on either side.
The only reason why Ukraine is talking about building nuclear weapons is because they face abandonment by appeasing Western leaders. If it's a disaster for nuclear non proliferation, it's not Ukraine's fault, it's because the West is led by a bunch of mealy-mouthed fucking cowards. It's not on Zelensky's head he has to talk like this, it's on Donald Trump's. It's on Joe Biden's, it's on Olaf Sholtz's, it's on Viktor Orban's.
So putin is so desperate that he hires north korea soldiers and the only reason he doesnt use nukes is china asking.
A dangerous situation.
lt was a mistake of Ukraine to give the nukes to Russia.
How in the world can you Ukraine keep the nuclear warheads if they never owned them in the first place?
White supremacy is destined to fail like they are supposed to
BRICS is GOD, NATO is gay
