Geopolitics

Jens Spahn, head of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag, has called for Germany to gain access to nuclear weapons. In his view, the U.S. nuclear weapons currently stationed in Germany are insufficient for Europe to be confident in its long-term ability to deter Russia. “Russian aggression is a completely new threat. Europe must become capable of deterring it,” he told the newspaper Welt am Sonntag.

The politician suggests discussing Germany’s involvement in the nuclear arsenals of France or the United Kingdom, as well as the possibility of creating a joint European nuclear arsenal together with other countries. Spahn believes that an “independent European nuclear umbrella” will only be effective if Germany has access to its control.

“Those who cannot deter with nuclear weapons will become pawns in global politics,” the German lawmaker argued.

Prediction:   Germany and Japan become nuclear powers in the next two years.   5 Eyes nations excluding US align with them for nuclear security.    Germany and Japan together have about the same industrial output as the US.
