- The war in Ukraine has shown a need for more deep-strike options.
It’s a good spot. Fairly close to many threats and in a stable country that is a strong ally.
And also there is still a big US infrastructure at hand with all the bases.
Hehe that’s an understatement. I think we have like an entire city there full of American soldiers.
Well given what Germany did for an entire half century not long ago and what Russia did in close proximity it’s understandable
Multiple cities. At least Ramstein and Spangdahlem are really big and could count as a small city. That’s why I said there is still a good infrastructure even after a lot of US soldiers were sent home and bases got closed in the last few years.
Getting flashbacks to turkey in the 60s…
Please don’t…
Yeah, please make Germany more vulnerable to Russia! We need Europe ruled by Putin who is definitely a benevolent and friendly guy and not a ruthless dictator.
Germany vulnerable to Russia, really? Russia can barely take on Ukraine but now it’s a threat to Germany? Putting NATO missiles in Germany has more to do with US power projection than defense for Germany.
Last I checked, Russia still had nuclear weapons. Did that change?
So the afd can have these weapons when they’re in power? Great…
No not really. The nukes, that were stationed in Ramstein for example, were not under german control. Its a US military base staffed with US soldiers. Its currently unknown if they still have nukes there, but i assume thats where these would go.
Germany itself doesnt have any nukes.
