Ok, so, let’s say, hypothetically speaking, Erdogan says, “Fuck you, I’m with Russia now, your people can evacuate but the fifty nukes are mine.” Because if I sensed weakness in an empire, that’s exactly the gamble I’d take. What does this disaster of an administration do?

I believe procedure is supposed to be to remove the uranium from the warheads and incinerate the rest. It's the type of standing order that wouldn't even need Trump to do something.

But let’s say he gets a call from Erdogan. “I’m gonna kill your people and broadcast it on every social media platform unless you order them to leave us the nukes. I already have video of them surrounded.” What then?

So *if* he's somehow able to get a hold of the bombs themselves, and *if* he's also able to get a hold of the uranium pits which are stored separately. He'd still wouldn't be able to use them because they're all PAL equiped. He'd need the football from Trump to use them.

There was a period in the 90s when Ukraine was technically the third largest nuclear power because of all the leftover Soviet nukes in the country, but they were useless to the Ukrainians because the Russians kept all the activation codes.

The difference is, Ukraine had nothing to offer the powers in charge in Russia. Erdogan now has not only Trump’s business, collaboration in genocide, but also US lives (and due to 60 years of Hollywood, the rest of the world knows exactly how dearly we hold those publicly)

They had billions of dollars worth of nuclear weapons to offer! Even if Ukraine couldn't use them Russia would (and did!) want to have them for their own use.

Russia already had plenty of nukes to guarantee their sovereignty at that time. It’s more likely they were happy to offload the costs of maintenance and storage onto Ukraine, knowing they couldn’t get rid of them easily, and also knowing they were worthless.

The Russians did not agree with you since they paid quite a bit to get them back, both because it would cost them quite a bit to rebuild a little over a third of their nuclear arsenal and because they were worried about us buying them to reverse engineer.
