Zelenskyy: We need NATO or nukes … and we want NATO. Ukraine suffered uniquely from its 1994 decision to denuclearize, the country’s president said.

  1. No sane country will allow Ukraine to have nukes. NATO membership, while absolutely currently improbable, is more likely than nukes in Ukraine.

  2. Plane-Border3425 on

    I think this is a powerful argument. He is saying explicitly that of those two options, Ukraine *wants* NATO. He is being reasonable; he is being sane. He is being clear and he is being realistic. And he is saying this in public.

  3. Other countries will observe the Ukraine war and take lessons from it. Ukraine voluntarily gave up its nukes in exchange for security guarantees from Russia and the West. Those security guarantees were worthless.

  4. The USA should drop a few tactical nukes on Russia ,what could go wrong .Back to reality i think the world worried that if Putin starts to believe he lost the war he will do something stupid .So no chance USA giving Ukraine nukes as Russia will feel justified in using there’s

  5. Ukraine only has three options: 1) surrender sovereignty to Russia like Belorussia 2) get a security guarantee with the US like South Korea or NATO membership or 3) build their own nukes.

    Without either the security umbrella of US nukes or their own nukes Ukraine will become a vassal state of the Russian empire.

  6. If Ukraine gets nukes that will be the end of Ukraine.
    Russia would nuke them before they could even be launched.

    Let’s just say Ukraine launches a nuke. Russia will launch a whole lot more and obliterate Ukraine.

    Let’s be realistic. We don’t want Ukraine to have nukes.
