Chancellor Merkel told the annual Munich Security Conference on Saturday that Germany remained convinced that sending weapons to the Ukraine forces fighting against pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine would not contribute to a resolution of the crisis there.
"The problem is that I cannot imagine any situation in which improved equipment for the Ukrainian army leads to President Putin being so impressed that he believes he will lose militarily," she said. "I have to put it that bluntly."
Wrong.
December 1994: Ukraine has nuclear weapons. Russia doesn't invade.
February 2014: Ukraine has no nuclear weapons. Russia invades Crimea by proxy.
Waging war is not an existential matter with guns, tanks, and trucks for Russia. It is with nuclear weapons. Ukraine gave up its best deterrent to Russian aggression and we let them down by not following through to help them.
Give Ukraine nuclear weapons and the war will end the next day.
