While Crimean secession is obviously a big deal for Ukraine’s interim government, officials seem determined to make it a global game-changer that it clearly is not.
Today, Ukraine’s interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, fresh off a visit to the White House to be assured of unconditional US backing, insisted that Crimea’s secession could spark a huge run for nuclear weapons the world over.
Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in 1994, though members of the interim government are rethinking that and pushing for rearmament as a way to retaliate against neighboring Russia for backing the secession.
Though Ukrainian officials are pushing for rearmament, they are currently a member in good standing of the nuclear NPT as a non-nuclear weapons state, and Crimea or no such a move would spark a huge international backlash against the interim government, which is already struggling with its links to neo-Nazi protesters.
And these people would not hesitate to use it against Russia or even USA. After all it was USA and other allied who fought the European fascism where millions of Russia sacrificed their life wining over fascism.
Sure, let's donate nukes to a bunch of psychopath fascist Nazis. Lets see how that plays out
Well, you know the old saying, "cut off your nose to spite your face."
So, after wining and dining Yatsenyuk where Obama promised billions $$$$ in loan guarantees, money the USG does not have should it come to actually backing their promise, sends him back to Ukraine with new talking points of doom and destruction and strawman scenarios that are unlikely to happen – but which sound real good to the lackey MSM.
What has become of our leadership here in the US? 15 years ago one would never have thought it possible that the USG would actively support a terrorist group in Syria that attacked us at home (al-Qaeda) as well as fascist neo-nazis in Ukraine. Seriously? Our leaders have completely lost their sense of who we are – well, some of us anyway. One problem of removing them from leadership positions is that they have money – most of Congress are millionaires – and the other problem is that they breed.
And not only that, but the Russians are alcoholic communist homosexual child pornographers and they don't respect women! And if that doesn't work to pull you into this mess, we'll start calling them Muslims, too! That one never fails.
He got his unconditional backing in the form of food rations. The idea that the current illegitimate government in Kiev is considering reconstituting it nuclear weapons program or even purchasing them is mind-boggling. Even Obama has to be shaking his head over this one, i hope.
