That’s not accurate! Ukraine ceded its nuclear arsenal to Russia, yes. But IT IS CRUCIAL to understand that it was at AMERICA’S PERSUASION that they gave them up! In return for AMERICAN PROMISES OF PROTECTION from RUSSIAN AGGRESSION! And that support has been pusillanimous at best! We in the west OWE Ukraine, for going along with our desire to prevent nuclear proliferation and taking a MASSIVE RISK which backfired on them, BECAUSE we did not prevent a Russian invasion DESPITE PREDICTING IT AND WATCHING ITS PREPARATIONS IN REAL TIME!
And, now that Ukraine has been so badly let down, lost so many people, suffered so much loss, torture, theft, rape and humiliation at Russian hands, the VERY LEAST we in the west can do is see to it that they get EVERY SQUARE INCH of Ukraine BACK into UKRAINIAN HANDS!
“There is only one Nazi contingent in this conflict,” and they are sitting in the Kremlin, being lead by Putin!
