And so, due to the coward leaders of the west, Ukraine now feels forced to just surrender large parts of its territory to nazis.

This, of course, worked incredibly well in the 1930s and prevented another world war from happening, as handing over Sudetenland to Hitler satisfied his desire for lebensraum. We all lived happily ever after.

@thomholwerda the difference to 1930 is, Ukraine might acquire nuclear weapons before the next step happens.

@xstian @thomholwerda I'm not convinced. Technically, you may be right, but only nuclear weapons have the ability to make a lot of people scared, and that ability is their true strategic value.

@ptesarik @xstian @thomholwerda Also "better strategic weapon than tactical nuke" is kind of strange statement :-). Strategic nukes are better strategic weapons than tactical nukes, too...
