If Obama hadn't convinced Ukraine to surrender its nuclear weapons in exchange for its freedom from Russia they would still hold that ace card, that equalizer.

You can't make a deal with the devil without surrendering to it. How many times has that lesson been repeated?

@Heartlander tbh, those weapons didn't belong to Ukraine as an independent Nation, they were weapons of the Soviet Union and were given to Russia. The [i]Budapest Memorandum[/i], signed by Ukraine, Russia, the UK and United States was supposed to "promise that none of the nations would use force or threats against Ukraine and all would respect its sovereignty and existing borders. The agreement also vowed that, if aggression took place, the signatories would seek immediate action from the United Nations Security Council to aid Ukraine." The only country to not respect that has been Russia. The Ukrainian People wanted the weapons gone too.
