It is a bad idea to trust and rely on Ameeica. Some Afgans learned this lesson in 2021, the same is happening to Ukraine now.

Gaddafi's is just sad. Such a terrible decision to give up their nuclear deterrence and trust western governments.

Nukes are why the DPRK hasn't been invaded again, and why it hasn't ended up Libya is now.

Ukraine gave up their nukes in exchange for peace with Russia, then got invaded by Russia.

[-] istanbullu@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 months ago

they weren't ukrainian nukes. they were soviet nukes and ukraine didn't have the money or expertise to take care of them.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 16 points 7 months ago

I wouldn’t put it that way exactly. Ukraine was a constituent part of the USSR, and eastern Ukraine was a major industrial hub. I don’t know the history of it, but perhaps giving the nukes to Russia was part of the deal made in the Post-Soviet transition in Ukraine.

Russia inherited the Soviet military for the most part. It's unlikely that Ukraine could have used those nukes in the first place.

Ukraine was very much at peace with Russia as it always had been before the 2014 coup and the resulting fascist gov that didn't care about such agreements.

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 9 points 7 months ago

The fascist government is the one invading Ukraine, my guy.

Did Libya have a substantial development program?

Ukraine rely on a lot more than just the USA. But what else can they do? It's either that or they get annexed.

Their are a small country versus a world power.
