MOSCOW, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Discussion in the West about arming Ukraine with nuclear weapons is "absolutely irresponsible", Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday, in response to a report in the New York Times citing unidentified officials who suggested such a possibility. The New York Times reported last week that some unidentified Western officials had suggested U.S. President Joe Biden could give Ukraine nuclear weapons before he leaves office.

Ukraine gave their nuclear weapons back to Russia for an agreement that Russia would never invade. Russia broke that promise when they invaded Crimea in 2008, it's way past due Ukraine gets it's nukes back. Russia should send them back, though in lieu of that, the West should give em a couple before Trump gets back in the big chair, you know, as a treat. A NATO pre welcoming gift.

Few nukes for deterrence. As a little treat as you say. Ten maybe. Fifty tops. Enough to definitely glass Vlad with absolute confidence.

Edit: and just to be clear, I really fucking mean that because Vlad is going to use a tactical nuke to rattle us all. I called this about two years ago and I fully expect him to do it because in his mind it makes sense. Prick.

Even by their standards, "you can't just ~~use~~ deploy nuclear weapons in Ukraine" is very self-contradictory.

Russian foreign intelligence chief Sergei Naryshkin said Moscow opposes simply freezing the conflict in Ukraine because it needs a "solid and long-term peace" that resolves the core reasons for the crisis.

Sounds like they wont stop until they reach Kyiv or die trying. Give Ukraine nukes.

Coming from the aggressor that hides behind their own nuclear arsenal.

Considering they keep attacking Belarus with drones, those nukes are more likely to land in Moscow than anywhere else.

From what I understand, they're mostly just crossing into their airspace, a few have crashed in uninhabited places, but there has yet to be anything you could call an "attack".
