I told a friend of mine about this, and then she said, as America "Goddammit, Russia!"
And now, looking at it again, that so has to be what he's thinking.

Yeah, it's strange that after the Soviet Union collapsed that suddenly, Ukraine was one of the world's major nuclear powers by default and had a nice set of military fangs to bear in case anyone messed with her. It's interesting that many nations would do a great deal to be in Ukraine's position in having nukes along with a good amount of mineral resources and infrastructure to use it yet she didn't want to have them thanks to Chernobyl.
Betcha nations like Iran and North Korea were all like "WTF are you doing Ukraine?! We'd kill to be in your position!".
