In his speech at the UN General Assembly, U.S. President Joe Biden affirmed that American support for Ukraine will continue until the country achieves a just and lasting peace. He highlighted that Putin's war has failed in its primary objective to destroy Ukraine, as the nation remains free. Additionally, he noted that rather than weakening NATO, the alliance is now larger, stronger, and more united than ever.
I think one lesson which Mr Biden managed to teach the whole world is that unless you have nuclear weapons, the United States will treat you as a disposable subject which can be sacrificed any time. See their treatment of Ukraine versus Israel.
Thus, if you want to be treated seriously by US, you need to develop your own nuclear weapons.
@mcepl @noelreports I think it's more about:
- whether the treaties require actual help (Budapest Memorandum doesn't),
- whether the enemy has nuclear weapons capable of harming United States.
Still, you are right in that this is a big advertisement of nuclear weapons: "if you have nukes, no one will invade you even if your army is two people with with one gun to share".
