what if the ukrainians set off a nuke they 'got from russia' on the blackmarket during the fall ...

Ukraine had nukes and peacefully gave them up around that time. That's how the US and Europe acquired a duty to defend them against aggressors.

Ukraine never had operational nuclear weapons. They couldn't launch them and they couldn't maintain them. The weapons they had also had zero deterrent value against any neighboring country as they all had a minimum range of 5-10k miles. They had no effect upon any possible aggression from a neighboring country.

No one is responsible for defending the Ukraine except the Ukrainians. They're a grown up country, they can handle their own affairs.

If France gives up it's nuclear weapons, are we and the rest of Europe then responsible for their defense?

Non-proliferation is in everyones interest so I would say yes. France shall be defended for the half-life of the surrendered fissible material.

That's a square deal.

What if I give up my nukes and then I act like a total and complete n'wah?

Do my corrupt politicians get to hold the rest of the world hostage? Do our young go die defending corrupt Ukrainian energy executives...oh, right, Biden sr and jr. Hehehehehe that simplifies it. Greed.

Build the good Ukrainian farmers a state growing wheat. Fuck just replace Oklahoma and cut them a deal so that they don't get wiped out and get to keep their Ukrainian holidays and second language.
