Ukraine Cries Foul Will Rebuild Nuclear Arsenal

The USA (Bill Clinton signed), Great Britain and Russia agreed in the 1994 "Budapest Memorandum" to "assure Ukraine's territorial integrity" in return for Ukraine giving up the nuclear arsenal it housed on behalf of the USSR.

Russia broke the treaty and violated Ukraine's territorial integrity. The USA (Obama) and the UK have turned their backs. Ukraine says their side of the agreement is now null and void.  So reenter the nuclear arsenal.

Can you blame them?

"We gave up nuclear weapons because of this agreement," said Pavio Rizanenko. "Now there's a strong sentiment in Ukraine that we made a big mistake."

If and when the Ukraine makes good on their nuclear threat, the little game being played by Obama and Putin will look like a minor marital spat.
