Biden won't do it, but he should give Ukraine nukes

This would end Putin’s war in a heartbeat.

And let’s face it, anti-proliferation is over at this point. And if we don’t end the world in war, it’s going to burn up anyways with the planned rollbacks Trump plans on climate.

It’s time to put tyrants in their place.

Because we promised to protect them from Russia. Giving them back is the least we can do at this point. That treaty will be broken anyhow

There is no deterrent to Russia hammering them continuously as long as they have artillery shells and mfg.

Trump is going to end aid to Ukraine, end sanctions against Russia, and potentially send weapons and aid to Russia. He may even engage operations to help. Ukraine having nukes is the only deterrent that will prevent that.

Food scarcity alone is going to trigger wars and people are already starving and dying from heat. PA farmers are waving the red flag on potatoes and UK farmers are warning us too. Trump is going to accelerate that. If people think groceries are expensive now, just wait a couple of years.

I don't think we should give them nukes, but we should give them just about everything up to that. Give them a fighting chance. They need to be able to inflict mass casualties on the Russians. That's the only way they'll learn to leave other people alone. Ukraine is a sovereign country and they shouldn't be expected to turn their democracy over to a dictator. We need to help them all we can because Trump will be on Russia's side when he takes over.
