Ukraine is facing an existential threat. If they have the in-house knowledge and capability to do this, they absolutely should.
If Russia gives up tomorrow, the war will be over. If Ukraine gives up tomorrow Ukraine will be over.
Ukraine is the only country in the world that has the full moral authority to develop nuclear weapons. We are the only country to give up nukes and look where that got us.
That being said “moral authority” isn’t worth shit in this world.
South Korea, Poland and the Baltic nations should honestly try and develop their own nukes too.
Whose moral authority?
Viewing the situation in the Middle East, all of those treaties and beaurocracy amount to dick all. Defend yourself, Ukraine.
Use? Absolutely not. Manufacture and stockpile? Absolutely. The sad state of world affairs at the moment seems to be that this is the one and only guaranteed deterrent.
Sure, open the floodgates, what could go wrong?
