      And Israel is the only nation with nukes that gets to lie about having them.

      Fuck Israel. Fuck zionists.

            Sort of. Ukraine had Soviet nukes, and gave them up for security guarantees with Russia. Libya and Iraq had also previously given up their weapons of mass destruction programs.

            South Africa is the only one on the list that wasn’t later invaded by a larger power. The Great Powers are teaching the smaller ones that if they give up their weapons of mass destruction programs, they’ll get invaded later.

              Ukraine never had control of those nukes. They got a good deal to have them moved into Russian territory, but if Ukraine had wanted to keep the nukes, they’d have been attacking Russian soldiers to get them, and wouldn’t have had the launch codes. Ukraine got the best deal they could under the circumstances, especially since the US wasn’t particularly concerned about Ukraine at the time.

                That’s silly. Between the end of the war and 2006 was quite some time for them to be attacked and yet nobody did. Even though they have been assholes about it the whole time. Them having thousands of artillery pieces aimed at Seoul worked just fine as a deterence without any nuke around. Big brother China also did help I guess.

              So what I’m hearing is whatever you do, do not give up your nukes. You will get invaded.

        Japan is also on the list of countries that don’t officially have nukes, but essentially just have to tighten some screws and they’ll have working nukes.
