> Just build nukes

I'm broadly sympathetic to the argument that the multipolar world we're in now makes a good case for nuclear weapons adoption. But Germany probably isn't the one Europe wants to arm itself. And even if it did, their Greens wouldn't allow it.

Germany already hosts nuclear weapons. And there were talks with France/UK to build the nuclear shield or something like that. It's just a matter of time before that happens, because as of today, that's the only way you can reason with dictators.

So does Montana. That doesn’t give Helena any sovereignty points.

Their point was the Greens lacked the power you attributed to them I thought.

Apples to oranges.

Montana:USA::Bavaria:Germany

No one has suggested Bavaria become a nuclear power in its own right.

France and UK are already nuke powers. Who else before Germany? Turkey, Greece, Moldova?

I get your joke about the "incident" 85 years ago, but really: Germany is as solid a choice as any, if there must be another.
