Absolutely. As said Ukraine HAD nukes, enough to make it the third country with more Nukes in the world at that time. Not only that, they had very modern strategic bombers. And he is absolutely right, if Ukraine had chosen to keep the nukes they had, Ruzzia would have to think twice before attacking.

But let's be specific: Zelensky is not "threatening nukes", Zelensky is saying that Ukraine needs to have a way of deterring aggression.

I know you cannot do this because you are a psychopath, but try for a moment to be Ukraine as nation:

- You have been invaded not once, but twice by an aggressive and bigger neighbour.
- Your neighbour has shown clear signs of wanting to continue this pattern.
- Nobody on the outside is helping you decissively.
- The only alliance that can protect you cannot accept you (or will not accept you) as a member.

You need to solve your problem and there is only one thing that may give you the right leverage.

But just to make it veeeeery easy for you, I am now going to write in Texan: "If you are threatened by people with guns, the Texan solution is to buy guns of your own".

BTW Ukraine is not threatening the US, whereas Ruzzia is creating a situation in which many countries are considering having nukes and increasing their arsenal.
