What would Ukrainians say to getting nukes again? Suicidal and dumb or the only way to be able to stand up to Russia when the rest of the world abandons Ukraine? I suspect the rest of the world that feels in danger (South Korea, Japan, Poland, Finland) are thinking long and hard about nukes given American intransigence and general spinelessness, not to mention the surprising news that even when the US sells you a weapon system it can still forbid you from using it.

hi, vaughan. no nukes 4 ukraine. we are incapable of even manufacturing small mortar rounds. team usa isn't giving permission, per se, just nav/targeting info for us/uk/fr missiles. last year, z started meddling in mil affairs, demotivating everyone. now can't replenish the ranks. the 7.5 million ukrainians abroad aren't wildly enthusiastic about returning. priority these daze is stopping ru advances in the east and stabilizing lines of defense
