    Can you take your shitty nukes too so we’re no longer a target for your stupid war games?

    Sorry, but to think Europe will no longer be threatened by nuclear weapons if the US will remove theirs is a bit naïve.

      Naive, hope. What ever you want to call it. I just don’t want to live in FallOut, sorry.

        Looking at Ukraine: not having nukes does not guarantee peace, rather the contrary. Meanwhile, there haven’t been that many foreign tanks attacking in those countries that live under the protection of nukes. It’s ok to be hopeful, but let’s also stay realistic.

          Okay apples and pears aside. Maybe not nukes, but lots of yummy Uranium deposits, only a third less than China has. Then for the rest of the basket, Ukraine and specifically the Donbas is chock full of Lithium. Some of the largest deposits. Reason A doesn’t oppose reason B.

            The point is: had Ukraine kept its nukes in the 90s instead of giving them away for a security treaty with Russia that Russia decided to just break, it wouldn’t have to defend against the Russian war of aggression right now.

            So while you think of nukes as a threat, keep in mind there’s people in a war right now and not far away that wished they had kept theirs.
