Not taking Putin's aggressions and his creeping authoritarianism seriously led to this.
He had been trying to undermine Ukraine almost from the start of his tenure in office.
Putin attempted to poison a pro-democracy Ukrainian presidential candidate in 2004.
President George W. Bush was busy blabbing nonsense about Putin like...
"I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country."
Actor-turned-president Ronald Reagan postulated that “Of the four wars in my lifetime none came about because the U.S. was too strong”; however, who can know what may have historically come to fruition had the U.S. remained the sole possessor of atomic weaponry?
It seems the U.S. nevertheless expects the international community to accept that an American presidency would never initiate a nuclear-weapons exchange. But how can that be known for sure, especially with morally/ethically corrupt U.S. foreign-policy and war-mongering history?
After U.S. President Harry S. Truman relieved General Douglas MacArthur as commander of the forces warring with North Korea — for the latter’s remarks about using many atomic bombs to promptly end the war — Americans’ approval-rating of the president dropped to 23 percent. It was a record-breaking low, even lower than the worst approval-rating points of the presidencies of Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson.
Had it not been for the formidable international pressure on Truman (and perhaps his personal morality) to relieve MacArthur as commander, Truman may have eventually succumbed to domestic political pressure to allow MacArthur’s command to continue.
This is pretty hypothetical about Truman . "Perhaps his personal morality" and "may have eventually succumbed". Where is the evidence for the "formidable international pressure" on Truman to relieve MacArthur of his command?
The US wars around the world since the Iraq war and NATO expansion have led to this nuclear nightmare, which contradicts Western war propaganda. Now the US and NATO allies will wage war against China, as has been predictable for the last 30 years, starting with the wars against Iraq, against Russia in Ukraine and now the war against Iran. Der gespaltene Westen (2004) by Habermas foresaw this geopolitical development. Read US strategist Brezinski on the grand chessboard and you will know why. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Brzezinski
Putin's invasion of Ukraine was the "wrecking ball" to nuclear disarmament, Ukraine having previous disarmed on assurance it would not be attacked by Russia. Its proving difficult to stop further proliferation, Iran obvious desire to produce and use such a weapon. Israel has a possible but ineffective deterrent. Trumps reasonable attempt to draw a line is faltering. The future of non proliferation looks bleak ...
Yeah, right. It’s all Trump’s fault. Seriously, this is stupid. Nothing but TDS. Comparing the Soviet Union and USA nuclear detente to the pipsqueak Macron is beyond silly. If you want to worry about anyone and nukes I’d worry about Zelenskyy if he ever got his corrupt hands on one.

NATO allies won't join a war against China unless China invades Taiwan. Note that they have not joined the war against Iran.

WTF? Ukraine has been invaded by a nuclear power and you blame Zelensky?
