So Ukraine would have had to disassemble and rebuild those weapons in order to be able to employ them. Thats not trivial.

Ukrainexhad between 2,650 and 4,200 tactical nukes ...u dont need complex maintenance & delivery mechanisms for these. It was Ukrainian leadership failure and Russian infiltration in Ukranian system that they handed those back. Some tactical nukes can be even delivered with artillery systems

That number sounds pretty high. Every nuclear weapon needs ongoing maintenance to have a reasonable assurance that it will function properly. Anyway, we’re debating hypotheticals. Let’s focus on what happening now.

If your enemy has thousands of nukes, if even only 1% will work, how eager are you to invade them?

I don’t know. If only a small percentage work, picking which ones to deliver will be a challenge. Again, it’s a hypothetical argument. Ukraine doesn’t have nukes and it would take many years to get them.

Which comes to my original point that Ukraine leaders made colossal mistake giving them up. West along with Russia wants other nations to b subservient to them hence simply pursues policy: what is good for them is bad for other nations. Trump and Putin show no nation is sane and all need strength.

Your claim that the West seeks subservience doesn’t hold water. There are very good reasons to limit nuclear proliferation and “subservience” isn’t one of them. Don’t equate anything Russia does with what any nation in the West does. There is no comparison.

US is only country which has used nukes to mass murder. US is now ruled by a fascist soon to be dictatorship. Every Western country has fascist parties polling well with fascist US + fascist Israel help likely they will rule in future. Fascist West + Russia with nukes is biggest threat to humanity.
