In response to "I thought they sold them to us in exchange for a billion to fund their government and a promise to protect them -- nm" by zeitgeist

technically they were decommissioned/destroyed, and Russia had launch control, but states the nukes were in had veto power.

Kazakhstan and Belarus had nukes as well. the US mostly paid for Ukraine's decommissioning. probably a lot more than it actually cost.

anyway, would you really want (at least) 30-year-old nukes?
