Ukraine should have never given up their nuclear missiles when the Soviet Union collapsed. They could not defeat the Soviet Union in a nuclear exchange but would have made such a no go for the Russia of today due to mass destruction. They gave them up do to promises by the West to defend them. We lied.

I would like to blame this on Biden but it is not him. This goes back to Bush and Clinton and the second Bush. The only way to have guaranteed Ukraine autonomy at that time was inclusion to NATO or arming them with nuclear weapons which they gave up do to promises by the West. As mentioned, we lied.

If the cost of war is to great one does not go to war. This whole damn war is a result of ignorance of the West. This should have never happened.

Ukraine didn’t have nuclear missiles. They were Russian missiles in Ukraine.
