“Perhaps it’s time to give the Ukraine is nukes back”
Perhaps it’s also time for NATO to leave Eastern Europe. And by the way, they were never Ukrainian nukes, they were Soviet, then Russian nukes.
Wow that hit a nerve. Yep let’s give the Ukraine it’s nukes back maybe even enhance them a bit. It must suck to be Russian
I found this online:
“Since 1992, custodial protection of warheads designated for heavy bombers, as well as those removed from strategic missiles, is performed by troops under Ukrainian control.”
“In late 1993, the Ukrainians began removing warheads from the ballistic missiles. The removal, transportation, and storage were provided by Ukrainian troops. This became a watershed, which marked the transition of Kiev’s command and control into a stage of more autonomous and active operations. For the first time, the Ukrainian troops, on their own initiative, physically touched nuclear weapons.”
