The White House has called on Congress to approve aid to Israel and Ukraine, but Republicans oppose any measure that excludes provisions to address security on the U.S.-Mexico border.
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.
Israel helped South Africa become a Nuclear armed state and supplied their apartheid government with weapons.
Later, South Africa gave up their nukes, making them the only nuclear power to voluntarily disarm.

The only reason why north korea hasen’t been flattened yet
NK has China backing them, so that’s the main reason. Otherwise they’re not really a threat.

So what I’m hearing is whatever you do, do not give up your nukes. You will get invaded.
Ah yes, that worked out really well for Ukraine /s
Trusting Russia is a mistake
Nothing unusual, Israel hates human rights and loves war crime.
