I can’t help but wonder just how many Ukrainians are left.
In the 1930s, millions of Ukrainians were forcibly moved thousands of miles. Millions more were starved to death. The Soviet Union, in its classic, collectivist mode, took all of the food, and all of the seed to plant and grow more food.
There is an amazing movie about the intrepid Gareth Jones. Jones actually dared to travel to the Ukraine to see for himself. The movie is titled: Mr Jones. Not only does the movie tell the truth about the Soviet Terror Famine, it depicts, accurately, the evil NY Times creep Walter Duranty, and how Duranty covered up the truth.
This is a book:
Gareth Jones: Eyewitness to the Holodomor by Ray Gamache
“”This is the first academic study of Gareth Jones, now recognized as one of the first journalists to reveal the horror of the Holodomor, the Soviet government-induced famine in the early 1930s which killed millions of Ukrainians. Of interest to students of journalism, eastern-European history, and political studies, this book provides a fascinating insight about one of the most devastating events of the 20th century and the social, economic, and political factors that contributed to the famine. A fluent Russian speaker, Jones travelled as a foreign affairs adviser to David Lloyd George and Ivy Lee, two of the most influential people at that time. The Aberystwyth and Cambridge-educated Jones investigated reports denied by the Soviet government that their Five-Year Plan had led to mass starvation by visiting the affected region and living with the Ukrainian people. Gareth Jones’s numerous articles, published in the UK (Evening Standard, Daily Express, and Western Mail), as well as those written about him in the US (New York Evening News and Chicago Daily News), exposed the Holodomor, but Jones’s credibility and integrity were immediately attacked and denigrated by the Soviet government and its sympathizers within the journalistic profession, including Walter Duranty of the New York Times.””
Holodomor
The Ukrainian Genocide
“In the case of the Holodomor, this was the first genocide that was methodically planned out and perpetrated by depriving the very people who were producers of food of their nourishment (for survival). What is especially horrific is that the withholding of food was used as a weapon of genocide and that it was done in a region of the world known as the ‘breadbasket of Europe’.” – Prof. Andrea Graziosi””

MI6 is such a bunch of kidders
Russia like Ukraine is highly corrupt. Drones could be shipped in via the Baltic ports.
Ukraine does not have nukes.
Even the nukes that existed in UKRAINE back before were never under Ukraines control, the nukes in Ukraine were always under Russia control, the Ukranian government has never had access to nukes, EVERY..
The misunderstanding people have on this topic is just astounding.
The Nukes that were in Ukraine were Russias, even after Ukraine left the soviet union those nukes remained under russia military control, they Ukranian government has NEVER had access to any nukes.
The Agreement to remove the nukes from ukraine required the US and Russia and Ukraine to agree they would not use nukes against them, and if anyone ever did they would come to their defense.
Ukraine as an independent nation has NEVER EVER had nuclear weapons.
The russians can do this to england and germany etc.
“Ukraine as an independent nation has NEVER EVER had nuclear weapons.”
I’m sure that was true decades ago and may be today; unless something has changed in the last 30 years that I don’t know about.
At one time little Israel did not have nuclear weapons but they may have them today. Things change over the decades and surprises happen, especially to people like Mr. Putin that thinks he knows everything.
It is absolutely true today… Ukraine does not have the infrastructure, knowledge or ability to manufacture nuclear weapons and never did. If Ukraine has nukes it’s because someone gave them to them and that nation as well as Ukraine would be in violation of countless international agreements.
“If Ukraine has nukes it’s because someone gave them to them and that nation as well as Ukraine would be in violation of countless international agreements.”
So there is a possibility that Ukraine does have a nuke.
That possibility, however remote, is something the old KGB chess player has to take into consideration when he stomps around on his neighbors.
There is a possibility that Uraguay has a nuke as well, but you are a special kind of stupid if you think they do.
The possibility of anything is never ever zero.
Ukraine does not have nukes, if you believe they do then its pretty easy to understand why you would fall for this articles premise.
Ukraine has never been an independently nuclear nation. It never ever had nukes of its own, never possessed the knowledge or infrastructure to build nuclear weapons on its own...etc etc.
If you believe Ukraine has nuclear weapons, you are basically on par with the folks who believed Biden was mentally competent.
Why not keep this discussion professional.
A well-respected member of this forum mentioned the possibility that Ukraine could have nukes by posting: “If Ukraine has nukes it's because someone gave them to them . . .”
That is a remote possibility but it is a possibility. And with the Ukrainians you never know what they are up to on the black market. I'm certain the U.S. spends some amount of defense money trying to prevent the import of suitcase nuclear bombs into the U.S. and I'd be surprised to learn the Russians don't try to protect their own borders.
I feel certain the Ukrainians didn't have nukes 30 years ago and still don't, unless something has changed in the last three decades.
The only thing keeping the Ukrainians from having a nuke or nukes is fissionable material.
They clearly know how to build them. The knowledge is easily available.
They have the technical skills. The US had the technical skills in 1945!
Whether they have the fissionable material is another question.
