re: #404 Dr Lizardo
According to Pavlo Rizanenko, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, Ukraine may have made a mistake in going nuke-free.
Granted, he’s speaking for himself, but a nuclear-armed Ukraine could certainly make things rather dicey in that part of Europe. There are currently four nuclear power plants in Ukraine; three of them are in the western part of the country, so Ukraine going nuclear-armed isn’t outside the realm of possibility. They have the know-how, after all.
Who, what country, would trust Russia after this debacle? Not one iota.
