“restrictions on the size of the Ukrainian military”
Why should other countries be allowed to dictate the size of Ukraine’s military ?
We that to Japan...
I dunno. Hasn’t the U.S. been doing this to other countries for almost as long as it has existed?
But if we restrict Ukraine’s military size, how will the politicians grift off kickbacks in military aid to Ukraine?
Why should other countries be allowed to dictate the size of Ukraine’s military ?

I know lots of people on FR who don’t want Iran to have nuclear weapons. US policy during the Cold War was to deny nuclear weapons to Cuba. I’m sure if the Soviets wanted to finance even a large, conventional weapons build up in Cuba, then that would have gotten a “No Bueno!” from the US government.
The Russia and The Putin are currently dictating the size of the Ukraine's military by killing them all.
The same way the Allies restricted Germany’s and Japan’s military power.
Ukraine doesn’t have to accept it, but then the war continues. Its military’s size will be restricted then by mass slaughter. Either way Russia will see to it happening.
Ukraine has no choice. It’s called Great Power politics.
