What I see clearly is this:

- NATO countries have nukes, therefore they don't get invaded

- Russia has nukes, therefore they don't get invaded

- Ukraine does not have nukes, therefore despite the non-proliferation and Russian friendship treaties which guarantee not being invaded, they got invaded anyway because they have no deterrent and nobody gives a fuck

It's really as simple as that.

Yeah it's the nation-state equivalent of owning a gun.

Nah that would be more like the standard armed forces, This is like owning a trigger to a pile of TNT under every house in town that you'll detonate if anyone decides to break into your house.
