Ukraine also gave up its nukes. Look how that worked out for them and Europe.

Were they theirs? Germany has nukes too but they're not theirs, they're from the US. Germany can't say "fuck off" to the ~50k Americans stationed in the country, leave NATO and get to keep the nukes.

If a country has nuclear weapons and can unilaterally launch them, then they are theirs. Who’s gonna come take them?

Who told you Ukraine had the ability to launch the nuclear weapons from the Soviet Union that happened to be deployed to its territory?

>can unilaterally launch them

Germany can't launch or even operate and maintain them without the US.
