You are spamming us with the same news, as if that makes it somehow more relevant or true.

This story doesn’t make a lot of sense for a lot of different reasons.
It also points out why Trump probably shouldn’t have talked to him at this time.
First of all Zelensky can make all the declarations he wants but where would Ukraine obtain a nuclear weapon?
No one is going to let them join NATO in the middle of an active war which would usually mean that NATO immediately becomes involved.
As for what Trump really will do if he’s elected, that becomes an interesting question.

Let's join them and start WW III and nuclear war!

You're insane, Marcus. IDIOTS with your mentality are greater danger to American citizens than the Russians are.

He said Trump had agreed with his proposal before he made the statement at the summit, insisting that a membership to NATO would provide his country with the ultimate security guarantee to protect it from Russia.

I do not believe this. I do believe he was threatened by the Biden Harris administration to say this. Tonight on the evening news they will be saying, "Trump will get us in a nuclear war."

How many Americans do you want to see die in Ukraine fighting the Russians, Marcus? Tell us.

Now you think his claim that Trump supports him is going to change our position? First off, we know that Zelenskyy has a propensity to lie, and this claim is yet another lie by him.

If I remember right, at one time Ukraine had nuclear weapons and the US and Russia talked them into giving them up on the promise that the US and Russia would provide military support to them if needed. I wonder if they may have squirreled some away and may end up using them.

It is interesting that those complaining about Ukraine getting nukes have no problem with Russia playing that card. Ukraine gave up its nukes in return for guarantees to respect its borders. That did not work very well. And if you pull the west’s support, as some here want to do, then you cannot blame them for seeking their own resources. If you want to keep Ukraine from getting nukes, then give them the support they need.

If the USA had not insisted on Ukraine giving up their nuclear weapons in the 90s none of this would be happening right now.

Ukraine should never be allowed to join NATO. It will just inflame tensions with Russia. Would we allow Cuba to house Russian ICBM’s ?

Ukraine should seek neutrality, like Switzerland, it could enjoy the same business arrangement with the EU and also with Russia, with the natural resources in that region its economy would flourish.

This was a manufactured conflict, hundreds of thousands have died for no reason whatsoever.

Ukraine has very technologically advanced people/engineers/scientists.

The knowledge of how to make nuclear weapons is easily available.

Ukraine has enormous incentives to produce nuclear weapons.

Only countries with nuclear weapons have been shown to be respected by the great powers.

If you do not have nukes, you are subject to destruction at the whim of policy changes.

Just ask Kadafi in Libya. Ask the Serbs.

Is destroying Ukraine worth the destruction of Moscow, or even St. Petersburg to Russia/Putin?

Ukraine's existence as a political entity is at stake. Russia existence is not at stake. This makes Ukraine's threat more credible.

Remember, Ukraine had many of the most advanced technological assets in the old Soviet Union.

USA is like Iran sponsering bad things and Uke is our Syria proxy and Russia is pulling an Israel.

I would suggest Russia should just go for a head shot.

Since I currently live on that corruption sponsering farcical snake head I am lookung up for my redemption draweth nigh.

The Daily Mail article left out Zelensky’s proposal to have Ukrainian troops replace many of the US troops assigned to duty in Europe. That would allow the USA to reduce our military spending and let the Europeans have a totally European based NATO.

Many articles posted.

In the fwiw department, the Ukes could have nukes in about 6 months. The U235, the knowledge, chemistry, and machining abilities to do it. Not sure of delivery capacity.

Problem is testing it.

If Japan so chooses to go nuclear, it would take less than six weeks to have a deliverable weapon. They would have to test it.

It would be a good idea if all parties called a ceasefire in place.
