I think a lot of people don't realize this, because I never see it mentioned, but when the Soviet Union dissolved we (U.S.) convinced the Ukrainians to give up their loose nuclear weapons with the promise that we would protect them going forward. I may be time to ratchet up on that promise and help the Ukrainians drive the Russians back across their border.
