Indeed. No single nation will trust any other nation or group of nations saying they will protect them if they are invaded if they just give up their nukes.
The example set this week by the signatories to the Budapest Memorandum should ensure that.

Kyiv has become almost a client state of the US, and the east isn't happy about it
If he was trying to avoid bloodshed, he shouldn't have illegally invaded a sovereign country.
But I hope Putin sees the sense in ratcheting this thing down. Because Ukrainians aren't going to roll over, and Russian mothers get extremely angry about body bags with young Russian men.
Interesting that someone says our response should be stronger and to you that means they support the invasion. Do you often use "Newspeak" and say the opposite of reality when in public or does it only happen on this board?
Putin asked way before it came to this. Fuck Klepto Joe. He's deaf.
How close are you to a Russian primary nuclear target ? You talk like it's a thousand miles to your bunker.
The Soviets have been gone a long time.
Maybe in law, but not in spirit. This is going to be a new cold war. Putin's first goal was to sow discord in the US, which he did by getting Trump elected. And now that he succeeded in dividing America against itself, he's going to assert Soviet supremacy in western Europe. You'll know I'm right when China openly sides with Russia.

U R half right.....I have posted hundreds of posts on this topic...obviously you do not pay enough attention to me.
Sorry to deflate your ego, but I don't know who you are because I don't live here. Also, I'm completely correct; there is no such thing as a "half-right" fact.
The difference between you and me is that I care about the human race.
It sounds to me like he's trying to avoid unnecessary bloodshed- but then I'm not a NATO stooge.
Whose stooge are you, moon?
Putin is "asking for security" at the point of a gun - actually, a lot of guns. That's called imperialist aggression.
As for the neo-Nazis supposedly running Ukraine: the only far-right party in the Ukrainian parliament is Svoboda, which has one member out of 450.
I still can't decide if you're just a willing dupe - or something worse.
Russia was asking for guarantees of its security loooooooong before it moved troops to its borders . Your desire to cover NATO's ass makes you out a mendacious stooge- but that was determined some time back.
Putin is one capable, honest and straightforward motherfucker. I wish that he were on my side.
Oh, I think we both know that you are on Putin's side. As for being honest and straightforward, just because he tells you what you want to hear, does not make him either honest or straightforward. In fact, it makes him the opposite of that.

I am a reporter you stupid lying MotherFucker....I had no hand in Putin being more capable than our Dog Shit Western "leaders".
You are reporting your opinion of Western Democracies compared to strongman authoritarianism.
