Yes it happened with Ukraine too. I hypothesize that a lot of such deals were made with the aim of stopping nuclear proliferation. The theory could extend to the idea that Russia has a deal with Iran to not build nukes, in exchange for Russia defending Iran (The US couldn't do that with Iran since Israel and Iran are at odds and the US couldn't promise defense to both sides.... well they could in secret like the UK always did I guess).

here is the hole in your theory - it was Jews who invented the nuclear weapons and it was Jews who used them against Japan Jews can convince idiots to give up the nukes but Jews would never give them up themselves because we are all about that genocide it is possible that Israel didn't have nukes when they "leaked" that they did, but i don't believe Jews would ever voluntarily give up on the idea of mass murder without mass murdering women and children who are even we ? it is what defines us

i mean you really think a race of evil goblins that was waging a war on humanity for thousands of years finally invented the ultimate weapon in 1945 test-used it on Japanese who had nothing against the Jews, but then decided to just give it away to gentiles whom Jews hate and leave none for themselves and 80 years later still not have these weapons while actively waging war against the entire middle east ... i take back what i said about this being your first theory that makes sense. on second thought it makes no sense.
