Why does the image of 30-year-old nukes banging about in Joe’s Garage come to mind?
Pointless now. Zelensky would only use them to extort money from other countries to not use them.
Political denial is often eventual admission.
Never believe anything until the government officially denies it.
And how did Uke Nukes end up in American possession? Wouldn’t they have been sent to the USSR?
“Pointless now. Zelensky would only use them to extort money from other countries to not use them.”
Doubly pointless as Ukraine’s nukes were given to Russia. we don’t have them. We’d have to give them some of ours. Even the Biden admin isn’t that crazy.
….aaaannnnnddddd they’re already on the way to the Ukes
Fkin idiots. All this to cover up the Russia, Russia, Russia fugazi.
Return what? The USA did not take them, the Russians did.
Even the title is a lie.
Ukraine returned the nukes to Russia. So we in fact would be supplying them With nuclear weapons not returning them.
My guess is that action would make nuclear war almost unavoidable.
CLICK BAIT TOPIC. STRAW MAN ARGUEMENT WITH VALIDITY.
Ukraine never existed as a country itself until 1991 and as a part of the USSR it was one of three regional areas that made up traditional Russia.
US/EU meddling has created a body of BS hyping some new nation state.
Maybe Washington can the South back Slavery too? Has about the same chance of happening.
There never were any ‘Ukraine’ nukes,
They were owned and operated by the USSR.
