The Ukraine's Nukes

At one time, The Ukraine was number three on list of biggest nuclear-armed countries.  They made a decent decision that they didn't want the hassle, and now they don't have nukes.  But they were once number three.  And Russia was number two.

You are number six.

Who is number one?

You are number six.

Russia is still number two, but Ukraine is no longer on that hit parade.  Iraq didn't have nuclear weapons either.  Afghanistan, nope.  North Korea, yep.  Iran?  Let's hope so any day now.  But Ukraine is a big no.  No nukes, a shitload of Russian troops in Crimea and the Russian Black Sea Fleet, all under treaty.

In an alternate universe, was this Ukraine/Crimea thing the start of WWIII when some right-wing, Western-backed fundamentalist Christian lunatics toppled the elected government in Ukraine and nuked Russia?  Tune in next time for another exciting episode of Bullshit, or Not?
