“Had Georgia kept just 6 nuclear weapons from the old 20,000 warhead Soviet stockpile, many of which were on Georgian soil, this invasion would never have happened.”
Like they actually would have nuked the Russian troops?
Right.
Possesion of nucs probably means you never have to use them.
Remember The USSWas (former USSR or USSAre) in Cuba, 1961. One of the reasons we didn’t invade was our knowledge that Sovs has small tac nics in Cuba and HAD GIVEN WEAPONS RELEASE AUTHORITY TO THEIR GENERAL OFFICERS THERE ON GROUND IN CUBA.
