(29,251 posts)they had a *lot* of ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.
WE ( and Europe ) asked them very nicely to give them up to be destroyed or re-deployed into Russia.
And we ( this time the USA ) made a promise to help the newly formed democracy secure their borders...
So... what about that you traitorous Russian puppet???

(3,767 posts)I dont believe Russia would have ever attacked them if they still had a nuclear arsenal. We have a Fing obligation to Ukraine, but I dont expect the current GOP to understand that concept. Besides, they really are Putins puppets. I cry for Ukraine and I cry for the lost honor of my own country. I'm so frustrated I could scream.
