No, the idea of leaving the breadbasket of Europe in the hands of a government that is willing to launch a nuclear war in order to save face, and is willing to blackmail Europe is a bad idea.
It would be a better idea to restore Ukraine’s nuclear capability to deter the Russians. We should never have talked them into giving up their nukes in the first place.
They never had nukes.
Those were Soviet devices placed within a Soviet Socialist Republic called Ukraine. When we dock a submarine with nuclear capability out of port, those nuclear devices do not suddenly belong to the country in whose port they are docked.
Those devices needed to be sent back to Russia for the safety of Ukraine because maintenance required strictly Russian skill sets and nowhere else had them. Including the US. Beyond all of that, the launch codes did not reside in Ukraine.
At the very most you could make a case for extracting the materials and constructing your own bomb with them, but those were plutonium, not U235. Ukraine has had reactors for decades and the spent fuel rods contain some plutonium and they could extract that and build their own weapons.
But of course I don’t have the relevant skills which is why those original devices needed to be shipped out to begin with.
And so, the original sentence. They never had nukes.
“their nukes”
North Dakota declares independence from Biden tyranny.
A delegation from Bismark goes to a North Dakota USAF strategic forces area to seize nuclear missiles and warheads.
The delegation gets told the nuclear stuff will remain under USAF & White House control.
Any attempt to seize the nuclear stuff from USAF personnel will result in large explosions.
