US Nukes In Europe

Bort · 07-01-06, 04:26 AM

I found this comprehensive report from the Natural Resources Defense Council that goes into detail about the surprisingly large US stockpile of B61 bombs that remain at NATO airbases throughout Europe. Even more surprising is the large number of these weapons earmarked for use by non-US aircraft. My question: Does NATO still need all these forward deployed nukes?

Well, I prefer for european countries to have their own nuclear capability instead of relying on american goodwill.
I know that France nuclear strike force is completely independent of american authorization, but i don't know if the same thing is true in the case of the UK.

Oh so not true

I can think of 2 more things.

Coca Cola

and

Disneyland! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

As far as the nukes go, I think the country that holds them needs to make that decision and once that is done the U S needs to abide by it. No more strong arm tacticts with allies.

THE HOT PHONE.....

"George it's Tony, we have been nuked."

"I am sorry to here that Tony."

"George can I fire our own missiles?"

"No,no,no Tony, you do that and it will be WW3"

"I see your point George"

Oh heck yes!

You are free to make that choice.

But, you are not free from the consequences of making that choice.

Once you let the Nuclear Genie out of the bottle there is no turning back.

Saying the "Genie out of the bottle" part reminded me of a movie that a friend of mine made, seeing as he's pretty young, I find it pretty amazing. It has won many film awards and my friend has even presented it to the U.N. Now he's working on a new film about space warfare I believe.

Genie in a bottle story.

Not true unless on a scale of US vs. Russia or something such as that. Then it is lose lose for everyone. And nukes are not an unsurvivable thing either. Many misconceptions portrayed, particulary by the media in regard to nukes.

Also, nukes are puny to what is about to come around the corner. Everyone will even forget that nukes even exist practically when you see what is about to come.

PS. The firebombing of Germany in the final week of WWII was much more destructive and devastating that the combined nukes dropped on Nagasaki and Haroshima.
