    Making a nuke is pretty difficult, even for a whole nation. It would probably take years for them to develop a nuke if they started from scratch.

      Well, they ain’t starting from scratch, cause they designed a bunch of nukes for the USSR.

      They almost certainly have workable designs in a file drawer, and the old facilities are all in Ukraine too. It’s a question of how much decommissioning those got in the nineties, and how long it takes to enrich the uranium.
