Ukraine HAD nuclear weapons (from when it was USSSR), they were talked into giving them up by the rest of the world with assumptions of protection
Whatever happens or has happened to Ukraine is an unfortunate message to other countries that want to start their own nuclear programs, which we usually try to talk them out of
Also somehow Putin/Trump got associated together and Biden/Ukraine, so conservatives take Putin’s side. But it makes no sense at all and we as a country should technically support Ukraine
“But it makes no sense at all and we as a country should technically support Ukraine”
We have no interests that indicate supporting either side.
Non-proliferation has been dead for 20 years. Those who can, will.
Why should conservatives support Ukraine? I don’t see the slightest reason. Their main loyalty other than to corruption is to the EU.
Why doesn't it? Ukraine isn't the victim. Crimea was traditionally Russian. It was given to Ukraine only when both countries were part of the Soviet Union and wouldn't have been if there had been any clue that Ukraine would try to deny Russia access to the port there. It's Russia's only warm water port. And, the majority in Crimea would rather be part of Russia.
I can't blame Putin at all for taking the action he did.
