It wasn’t so much because of Ukraine, but US failing to honor its end of the deal. I think nuke reduction absolutely needs to happen, but it seems like we’re now moving in the opposite direction.
the actions of the US make it crystal clear that only with nukes can a country retain its sovereignty. so we’re doing nuclear proliferation at the moment.
Basically this. One of the only recourses they will have left to try to maintain power is a “we will end the world of you don’t let us do what we want” button.
