      Why not? This is contingent on the US being an unreliable nuclear umbrella… And Germany deciding they will be part of the EU’s nuclear deterrence.

        I don’t like the idea being part of a country that could kill thousands or even millions of people at once.

          Well, no, but I’d rather be in the position of the stick holder than the potential pointy end receiver.

            Nuclear war is not a stick battle, it’s a knife fight. You’ll both end up bleeding out. Best thing you can do is to not participate.

            People should watch Doctor Strangelove as a fucking case study.

              No, that’s not the case anymore. Modern anti-air missile systems can take care of nukes.

              It’s not a knife fight, it’s a “who can spend more money” fight to the death.

    We already have nuclear participation with the US. In case NATO decides for mutual nuclear defense, the US nuclear bombs stored in Germany exclusively for German use would be attached to airplanes of the German Air Force to be deployed onto their targets.

      What if the USA decides to side with Russia against Germany?

        That’s how I know you’re European. America hates Russia. The cold war left generational trauma.

        You do not have to worry about America siding with Russia.

          JFC, have you been under a rock the last decade? The majority of American population? Maybe. The oligarchs and ruling class? Pft, Trump looks up to Putin as a ‘strong man’. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/28/politics/trump-putin-ukraine-russia-smart/index.html

      And what if the orange man and his friend Putin differs?

    Yes, and lots of them. Cold war is much better than actual war.

    Any country that doesn’t want to be invaded should acquire nuclear weapons.
