Ukraine had no such thing. What they "had" was hundreds of Soviet weapons. They had no claim on any of them if their intention was to establish themselves as an independent nation. It would be like Florida seceding from the U.S. and claiming possession of the U.S. Navy vessels stationed in Jacksonville.
Russia, by invading. The USA by not ‘respecting’ the sovereignty and borders of Ukraine. The rest of the UN by going silent about it.
If the invasion of one country by another somehow constitutes a violation of the NPT, then the U.S. should be sanctioned for the next thousand years just for what it has been doing since the NPT was signed in 1968.

***Weapons which could have been opened up, get their weapons grade fissionable material, and make real bad nukes within a matter of weeks.
They had no claim on any of them
***Those nukes were on Uke territory.
if their intention was to establish themselves as an independent nation.
***They’ve been invaded twice since giving up those nukes. They never woulda been invaded had they kept those nukes.
It would be like Florida seceding from the U.S. and claiming possession of the U.S. Navy vessels stationed in Jacksonville.
***And if they managed to do that, we woulda thought twice about invading them. The fact is, Ukraine has been invaded twice because oil & gas reserves were discovered there, and they no longer had those nukes to deter invasion. Their only path was to rely on that agreement, to rely on us, and folks like you are fiercely looking for ways to betray them.

AC: If the invasion of one country by another somehow constitutes a violation of the NPT,
***You honestly think that when an agreement says to uphold the borders and sovereignty of a nation, that invading that nation isn’t a violation of that agreement? Really? That is just an incredible pile of bullshiite. Look at where your position has pushed you into such a bullshiite corner. You are flat wrong.
then the U.S. should be sanctioned for the next thousand years just for what it has been doing since the NPT was signed in 1968.
***Where have we invaded a country that signed an NNPT as a conquest of their oil & gas rights? You’re conflating dozens of issues in your desperate attempt to keep to that a priori position you’ve established for yourself.
