      ideally yes,

      but given US leading escalations and ignoring its promises it is stupid for any nation to do so.

        It absolutely is not stupid to do so because the nukes are providing no value and instead dragging them into conflicts.

          look at Ukraine, they had nukes, US promised to protect them if they get rid of them.

          trump is too busy sucking Putin’s boot.

          why aren’t you asking yhe US to eliminate its nukes? UK? Israel? South Africa?

              they didn’t need NATO, they needed US to comply with is treaties, in hindsight trusting the US was a mistake.

                  They were invaded by 1 of the 2 nations that agreed to protect them if they disarmed. The US did not uphold its obligations 3 times in a row through multiple administration’s. The latest conflict in Ukraine is a result of actions taken by the USA, followed by inaction on our part.

                  If we didn’t request their disarmament, lie about protecting them, it would be a very different landscape there right now.

                  It isn’t solely the fault of the US, but we are major contributors.
