We are currently seeing the issues that can arise from countries threatening nuclear war (Russia’s invasion of Ukraine). Don’t forget, Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, and Ukraine became the world’s third largest possessor of nuclear weapons from the fall of the Soviet Union. As a result, Ukraine agreed to become a Non Nuclear Weapon State giving up all of their 1,900+ nuclear weapons. Why is important for the U.S. to monitor WMDs throughout the world? The U.S. has WMDs; so, should we have the authority to tell other countries that they can’t have them? Do you think Russia would have invaded Ukraine if they had not agreed to give up their nuclear arsenal almost 28 years ago?
