Hello Alexander,
the same number as GWB found.
Ukrainian politicians openly told of their intentions to
have atomic weapon, and Ukraine as a state with a lot of
nuclear stations was able to make nukes rather quickly.
They never told that. It was another Putin's lie.
On the Munich conference (before the Putin's invasion) Zelensky
threatened to cancel the Budapest memorandum which doesn't allow Ukraine to have atomic weapon.
Ukraine willingly gave up the nukes that Russia had left behind
in 1991. Not that it could have used them, even had it wanted to.
But let's get real.
Germany is not allowed to have nuclear weapons, even though it has
the capability to make as many nuclear weapons as it wants. Yet we
all know it will do so if it finds it necessary.
Germany is also forbidden to use its military outside of Germany,
even though it has the capability to do so. Yet we all know it will
do so if it finds it necessary.
That same can be said about Japan, which actually enshrines such
language in its own constitution.
The question is - who will stop Germany (and/or Japan) from doing
what it wants if and when it chooses to do so?
Would GWB have ordered an invasion of Iraq if Saddam Hussein
had nuclear weapons? Was his reasoning to invade Iraq due to his
own concerns that Iraq might soon be capable of making nuclear
weapons? We know after the fact that Iraq had no nuclear weapons,
or the capability to make nuclear weapons. It was all an excuse -
a very flimsy excuse - for GWB to tell the world he had no choice
but to invade.
The whole world knows Ukraine has no nuclear weapons. The whole
world also knows Ukraine does not have teh capability to make
nuclear weapons. So what is Putin's excuse? Certainly it cannot
be the same flimsy excuse as GWB? Or is it?
A pre-emptive first strike. That made the USA the aggressor in
regards to the conflict in Iraq. Not that Saddam Hussein had any
intention of attacking the USA. The Butcher of Baghdad - the one
guy that GWB had fingered as being the epitome of evil - had
absolutely nothing to do with the events of 9-11.
After a few years, US troops left Iraq. Long after GWB had
retired from politics. Iraqis are still in Iraq, again with
its own leadership, and doing things the Iraqi way.
