That and reneging on past promises. Bet Ukraine regrets giving up their nukes on a promise from the US for protection.
What’s even more troubling for nuclear proliferation reduction efforts is the weight any such promises will have in the future: “no thanks, I’ll keep my nukes, thanks-you I don’t want to me Ukrained”.
And on the flip side, Russia’s nukes are the reason that aid for Ukraine was only gradually ramped up and came with strings attached, for fear of provoking them. It makes it pretty clear that the world can be divided into those who have nukes and those who don’t.
And that was before Trump started talking with Putin about how best to slice up Ukraine. Oh and also threatening to annex his neighbors. The world looks that much more unstable, and anyone relying on norms, allies or international law for their security will probably want to reconsider that position.
