Trump has stated he will cut American aid to Ukraine, which makes a majority of total aid. Recently Zelensky stated that if Ukraine’s only hope for sovereignty is its own nuclear arsenal, they will build it.

    If they’re allowed to do it, so will others who have signed NPT, like Iran. To be fair, Russia seems to have violated the Budapest Memorandum so Ukraine should at least be allowed to have nuclear weapons, by maybe not develop their own.

      So if they do, should we put boots on the ground?

      I mean it’s the ultimate protection so I’m for it if we, as the west, fails to stand up to putin.

        If Iran starts making nuclear weapons? We’ve done other things like sanctions in the past that seemingly worked. If they just keep doing it then that’s bigger than a U.S. problem.

          Iran? You mean the pro-democratic country that got invaded?

          It’s not really the same discussion IMO.
