I think we underestimated what Nuclear weapons actually did to the world. The countries that don’t have it are pretty much sitting ducks unless a Nuclear power is willing to defend them.
We cannot defend Ukraine against the most unjustifiable war ever, and they can’t defend themselves.
- vkou 5y agoNATO could have defended it, but it didn't want to. Nothing stopped it from moving in four months ago. Putin wasn't going to start a suicidal nuclear war over it. MAD only works to deter against existential threats. Not being able to invade a neighbour is not an existential threat. Being invaded can be one, though.

The lesson is that if you have nuclear weapons, you do not get attacked - North Korea. You also get to attack other countries. Russia, USA.

- cute_boi 5y agoIdk why people always brings this up, but those nuclear weapons never belonged to Ukrainians. Soviet Union was the controller and had codes of it. It would be never in the hand of Ukraine.
