    Remember when Russia signed that contract to not attack it’s ex colonies if they give up their nukes?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum

    According to the three memoranda,[6] Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively removing all Soviet nuclear weapons from their soil, and that they agreed to the following:

    Respect the signatory’s independence and sovereignty in the existing borders (in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act).[7]

    Refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of the signatories to the memorandum, and undertake that none of their weapons will ever be used against these countries, except in cases of self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.

    Refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine, the Republic of Belarus and Kazakhstan of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.

    Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they “should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used”.

    Not to use nuclear weapons against any non - nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, except in the case of an attack on themselves, their territories or dependent territories, their armed forces, or their allies, by such a state in association or alliance with a nuclear weapon state.[8][9][10]

    Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments.[11][12]

      Has anyone mentioned, just in passing, that if Putin withdrew there would be no motivation for the Ukrainians to even continue fighting. Well, except for revenge.

    Oh cool, so they’ll withdraw from Ukrainian territories so they won’t need to build nukes, right?

    It’s funny though, the only countries that don’t get invaded now are the ones with nuclear weapons. 🤷‍♂️

      Ukraine gave up the nuclear weapons they retained after the end of the USSR in exchange for a promise from Russia that they wouldn’t get invaded.

      I am cool with ukraine having nukes and participating in the western world order. Same with Finland, for example.

      The ugly reality here is that there is a struggle to establish the coming world order. You get the West or you get China and the blyats. Choose.
