Comment on Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons?
sith@lemmy.zip 2 months agoI believe that with the new US administration (and popular US opinion), one could go from good terms to bad over night. I would not trust that the US adhere to article 5 if things become serious for real. Why should they start a nuclear war just because their semi-friend forces itself upon a woke central European country? Things were completely different during the cold War.

Oh, you’re thinking, what if the US invades Germany?
So you see, there is one reason we keep the French around beyond baguettes and wine, it’s their ability to turn all major US cities into a radioactive wasteland regardless of what happens to the rest of the EU.
And the French are willing to do that and are obligated to beyond NATO as well.
