Decide for yourself based on the facts:
Iraq 1997: Nuclear weapons program dismantling is complete. By 2003, US invaded.
Ukraine 1991: Ukraine inherits the third-largest nuclear arsenal in the world following the collapse of the Soviet Union. 5 years later, it transfers all nuclear warheads to Russia under the Budapest Memorandum in exchange for security assurances. They said “trust us” so I assume everything was fine after that.
Libya 2008: Libya completed the dismantling of its nuclear weapons program. 3 years later, US-NATO military campaign overthrew Qaddafi.
Canada 1970: Canada signs Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, committing to not develop nuclear weapons. (Fail, but we got universal health care through Prime Minister Pearson.)
Canada 1984: Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, the father, removed and dismantled all American nuclear warheads that had been stationed in Canada as part of NATO’s nuclear sharing arrangements.
Canada 2025: Canadians laugh casually at repeated threats of annexation and invasion, not realizing history repeats. First, you delegitimize its leaders by refusing to acknowledge their authority and title. Then comes the coup, which can take many forms.
