    This is what happens when you promise you’d protect a country if they gave up their nukes, and then you don’t protect that country when they get invaded.

      Ukraine had no way of using those nukes, and maybe we shouldn’t let unstable countries that can’t protect themselves from a coup have nukes.

        Sure, but don’t make promises if you’re not gonna keep them. I’m all for nonproliferation, and I see the failure to help defend Ukraine to be a big problem in when convincing other countries they don’t need nukes.
