    Ukraine should just borrow some from France or so. It’s not like you need many for a deterrent.

    In the beginning of the war, I suggested some nation far off secretly give some and only announce it once set up. They gave their nukes for guranteed peace with russia and russia broke the agreement, so they should have some, just to make a point.
