What I know:
>When the soviet union collapsed, some of Russia's nukes were positioned in Ukraine.
>Ukraine would give up her nukes under the conditions that if there was ever a war, America, the UK, France and Russia would defend her
European union happened.
>All countries had learned from the National Socialist eras that a country's self-reliance was good up until it wasn't
>Everyone in Europe and Russia decided to set up an interdependency that would assure no single "power" would build up and enslave some other part of the Earth.
FAST FORWARD TO 2020s
>Russia makes a grab for Ukraine (a large energy producer for the European Union) and no nukes go off.
>People are being asked to pick sides when both sides aren't in a 100% agreement on what to do and Ukraine, despite not being a war for a very long time and likely hasn't seen the "best technology" deployed, still isn't a nuclear wasteland.
If something isn't nuked and everyone has forgotten about that Ukrainian treaty, what the fuck is actually going on?
>I just want to be alive in a time when a nuke goes off, is that too much to ask?
