Would Russia Have Invaded Ukraine If They Had Nuclear Weapons?
This is why I applaud NK and Iran on their strategic maneuver to obtain nukes. My prediction is that there will be three types of states: The superpowers, neo-colonies that are ruled by a super-power&#x27;s influence and countries that aren&#x27;t a superpower but have nukes to preseve sovreignity.<p>&gt; Given these operational and technical limitations, the nuclear weapons in Ukrainian territory could simply not serve as an effective deterrent.<p>Calling b.s. on that. There is nothing preventing them from safely storing the weapons at the time and slowly developing infrastructure to safely maintain and deploy them after refitting them. If it so happens that they get invaded before refitting them, unless nukes are used they can detonate them unsafely but strategically.
