Il cancelliere tedesco Merz fa un punto valido. La Russia non ha invaso l’Ucraina perché stava cercando l’adesione alla NATO ma perché non era un membro della NATO. Finlandia e Svezia hanno dimostrato il caso. E l’Ucraina non sarebbe stata invasa se avesse posseduto armi nucleari.

Who blocked Ukraine NATO path in 2008 ? /s

If Ukraine had nukes, it didn’t matter being or not in NATO. Russia wouldn’t have dared to invade. They invaded because they realized that the Budapest memorandum was never amount to anything. I believe that’s why they just invaded crimea as a test run and then tried the same in dombass. Since then, they learned that they could bully Ukraine without consequences and went on to a full invasion. By the time the world woke up, Ukraine was in a full blown war. All this could be avoided if the US had respected their part of the agreement and if Europe, when Zelensky started asking for help, gave all weapons with no restrictions. Not the “I’ll give you just the bare minimum but you can’t destroy certain targets” deal…

Many people would be alive today and millions wouldn’t be refugees right now.

Merz seems to be always on point about Ukraine. Now, making public statements is one thing and actually acting accordingly is another(and of course he does not have unlimited political power), but at least he has a clear understanding of the situation.
