Long article but really good. Russians are really frustrated we aren’t afraid of them.
It’s a West, East and South problem. I think China and much of Asia know this too. NATO needs to solution this.
Clearly Russia has never heard of “The Little Boy who Cried Wolf”…I’ve heard so many nuclear threats this past year that they’ve lost all meaning.
Remember Budapest Memorandum.
Until Ukraine gave up the Soviet nuclear weapons stationed on its soil, it had the world’s third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum
“… Original signatories:
Belarus,
Kazakhstan,
Ukraine,
Russia,
United States,
United Kingdom
…
Under the agreement, the signatories offered Ukraine “security assurances” in exchange for its adherence
to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
The memorandum bundled together a set of assurances that Ukraine had already held from
the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) Final Act,
the United Nations Charter and the Non-Proliferation Treaty
but the Ukrainian government found it valuable to have these assurances in a Ukraine-specific document.
…”
Because it seems these “security assurances” (especially from Russian side) are worth nothing,
it would be appropriate that Ukraine would try to get own nuclear weapons again.
Good article.
Good read. Thanks. Russians are so mad no one is afraid of them, that they’re contemplating suicide by cop.
Without reading a single word I can confidently say we could have cured it a long time ago by not paying to clean up Russia’s nuclear pollution and weapons from the last 5 decades.
