Do Friends Let Friends Go Nuclear?

This is what happens when you promise you'd protect a country if they gave up their nukes, and then you don't protect that country when they get invaded.
- Ukraine had no way of using those nukes, and maybe we shouldn't let unstable countries that can't protect themselves from a coup have nukes.
  
  Sure, but don't make promises if you're not gonna keep them. I'm all for nonproliferation, and I see the failure to help defend Ukraine to be a big problem in when convincing other countries they don't need nukes.
