The Biden/Kamala administration's revenge? Biden already pardoned his criminal son... now selling bitcoins that the government stole from people... weren't they the bitcoiner-friendly candidate? What a fucking farce.
Probably.
They will probably give Zelensky a couple of nukes next.
Maybe they will just return the ones they gave up after being assured that that
Piece of Shit Putin would not invade them?
Ukraine never had an independent nuclear weapons arsenal, or control thereof, but agreed to remove Soviet nukes stationed on its territory. They also did not possess the technical capabilities to maintain them, so it was not really "giving up" the nukes.
Actually the
Soviet Union no longer exists ( NO MATTER HOW MUCH PUTIN DICK SUCKERS WISH IT DID) and any properties of that
FAILED STATE became the properties of the
FREED States that they resided in.
Russia was in full control of the launch sequences and you are ignoring the fact that Ukraine could not use them, even if they kept them. And in the end they would have wasted away and decayed.
Simply trying to maintain them would have driven Ukraine's economy down even further, making them even more reliant on Russia. The most they could have done is to take the plutonium out and make a dirty bomb. But that would have only driven Russia to invade Ukraine in the 90s, with the excuse of securing their arsenal.
So what point exactly are you trying to make?
I'm sorry I'm not sure what
your point is, did you want to debate how long and what resources would have been involved in them creating their own command and control rather than taking the "security assurances from
Russia, the
United States, and the
United Kingdom" That they were safe from invasion if they gave up those weapons?
Russia was invading no-one at the fall of the Soviet Union, I'm not sure what revisionist history your reading.
You speak of the Budapest Memorandum.
But context is everything.
President Clinton made a courtesy stop at Kyiv on his way to Moscow for the Trilateral Statement signing, only to discover Ukraine was having second thoughts about signing. Clinton told Kravchuk not signing would risk major damage to U.S.-Ukraine relations. After some minor rewording, the Trilateral Statement was signed by the three presidents in Moscow in front of the media on 14 January 1994
Putin told Burns in 2008: “No Russian leader could stand idly by in the face of steps toward NATO membership for Ukraine. That would be a hostile act toward Russia. We would do all in our power to prevent it.”
On 28 June 2021, Ukraine and NATO forces launched joint naval drills in the Black Sea, codenamed Sea Breeze 2021. Russia had condemned the drills, with the Russian Defense Ministry saying it would closely monitor them.
I think it's safe to say much of what has happened definitely relates to what the US wants.
UK is just a little sideshow in this regard, at most a barking lapdog. NATO is another lapdog that the US / Biden / neocons have used.
