    Ukraine is the only country in the world that has the full moral authority to develop nuclear weapons. We are the only country to give up nukes and look where that got us.

    That being said “moral authority” isn’t worth shit in this world.

    South Korea, Poland and the Baltic nations should honestly try and develop their own nukes too.

    Ukraine is facing an existential threat. If they have the in-house knowledge and capability to do this, they absolutely should.

    If Russia gives up tomorrow, the war will be over. If Ukraine gives up tomorrow Ukraine will be over.

    Viewing the situation in the Middle East, all of those treaties and beaurocracy amount to dick all. Defend yourself, Ukraine.

    At this point it might be their only option to be secure from invasion. I mean look at North Korea they’re still there. No nukes is becoming like no flag.

    Well, test them on ukrainian soil first, so that russians know that the stakes have risen.

    If you lop em over there without warning they’d have “no choice” other then to completely nuke ukraine in retaliation.

      That’s actually not too crazy of an idea. A large part of land is mined and basically unusable for a long while and modern nukes are way less and way shorter radioactive. Blasting away a large part of Russian soldiers at once would send a big message.
