      I get what you are saying, but nukes are to prevent war not to be used as a defense.

      Ukraine should just never have dismantled their nukes in the first place.

      A better method would be to just allow Ukraine into the EU even though “not being at war” is one of the prerequisites.

        They did, on the promise that they would be taken care of. The moral of the story is, if you have nukes, you have to keep them now.

      I’m all for driving out Russia and making Ukraine free. But the reality is that it will have problems with political stability after this war, and with unstable countries veering right these days, the last thing we need is a fragile country with a right-wing nut job next door to its enemy armed with nukes.

      Nukes are a great deterrent as long as nobody uses them.
