The US should give Ukraine back some nuclear weapons (Putin, government, states)

[greywar]

Ukraine signed a agreement with both Russia and the United states. In exchange for them surrendering their nuclear weapons, both Russia and the US agreed to respect their national boundaries.

Obviously this deal has not been held up by the Russian side. To me it seems fair to return or replace the nuclear weapons that were taken.

What agreement was that? Title, date, place?

Budapest memorandum 1994

Wikipedia has a reasonable overview, and links to the specifics as well:

Once these monkeys with grenades mentioned couple of days ago that that's their next plan, ( to develop the nuclear weapons,) Putin said "we've heard you."


And that's what happened today.

Once you've taken that step you have lost control of some nukes. It's a step that needs to be very carefully considered from all angles.

Let's give nukes to an unstable corrupt government that jails their political opponents that can have a coup de tat any day.

Did the U.S. take any nukes away from Ukraine?

Did the U.S. ever have any nukes in Ukraine?

This can't be a serious question...

We need less nukes in the world, not more nukes.

Its funny how some posters:
Argued that Ukraine may have been developing nukes, thus justifying this-while ignoring the entire topic, that Ukraine HAD nukes, and gave them up.

Or argued that we need LESS nukes, while failing to apparently understand that by Russia attacking a country that had given up its nukes in exchange for guarantees......means that no one in their right mind will now EVER give up their nukes. Look how its worked for Ukraine.
