At the end of the cold war, Ukraine gave up its nukes based on Russia’s promise to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

Stop posting this nonsense. Ukraine did no such thing. The U.S., UK and France would never have let Ukraine keep any nuclear arms under any circumstances. The Ukrainian independence movement would have ended immediately in 1991 if they didn’t cave to the NATO nuclear powers over that.

You are correct the West also supported Ukraine not having nukes.

So?? That defeats your entire argument that NATO wanted to threaten Russia.

It’s your post that’s nonsense. How EXACTLY would the U.S., U.K. and France have taken away Ukraine’s nukes? It’s Russia that didn’t want Ukraine to have nukes because they knew they’d eventually want to invade Ukraine and if Ukraine still had nukes Russia couldn’t invade.
