[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Time to rearm the Ukraine with nuclear weapons. It is the only thing that makes sense.[/quote]

They don't need nukes. They need NATO membership. Far more effective deterrent. [/quote]

Nukes are not as bad ass as we have been made to believe.  Sure, they can burn almost everything combustible for 2 miles and if you are unlucky enough to see the blast from 20-30 miles away it can blind you.  Other than that they just a really big bomb that you need to hide indoors from for 2-3 days if it was near you to avoid fall out.

To level Moscow you would need almost 300 nukes alone.

On top of that they are super expensive to maintain- at least every 5 years the detonators have to be replaced.  The detonator costs more than the warhead and is super complex.  The detonator for a nuke is one of the most complex things man has ever created and if it does not work perfectly there is no nuclear explosion.  Ukraine could never afford nukes.  Russia may have 10-20 that actually work.
