Comment on Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons?

No.
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.
Any country is able to do that through conventional weapons though.
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 stuck battle, it's a knife fight. You'll both end up bleeding out. Best thing you can do is to not fucking participate.
People should watch Doctor Strangelove as a fucking case study.
