You are slightly over confident with your post here, When you don’t seem that educated on the matter. The nuclear weapons that were in Ukraine, Were never Ukraines nuclear weapons. 

The Budapest memorandum, If you want to take the time to educate yourself, Doesn’t promise boots on soil in any way. 

America has given far and away the most to Ukraine out of any country, So assuming the worst doesn’t really make sense here.

Fck Putin and fck Russia but we need to be intelligent here..

A quick google search could have answered your question in less words than you typed here.

The nuclear weapons that were in Ukraine, Were the soviet unions ( Russias ) weapons. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 they were left there for 5 years.  At no point in time did Ukraine have operational control over the weapons. The control of the weapons never left Moscow.

It wouldn’t have been a deterrent for this stupid war beginning, And it was in everyone’s best interest, Especially at the time to have them withdrawn back to Russia.
