This week....the former Foreign Minister...Joschka Fischer (born back in 1948)....who was a prominent German politician from Alliance 90/The Greens...served as Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister from 1998 to 2005 under Gerhard Schröder...gave a talk.
So the topic of building nuke bombs came up.
He suggested Europe (didn't really say Germany) needs to build nuke bombs to defend against the 'threat' (meaning Russia, without really saying it).
He says....the situation with the US is not really stable, and Europe needs its own nukes.
First, based on treaty by West Germany, East Germany, the US, and Russia (1990)...unified Germany can never build nukes.
Second, to have some Green Party guy suggest this...is absolutely crazy.
Third and final....this week....I noted some German scientist got dragged into a discussion like this, and he said....from day one on, if Germany wanted production of nuke bombs, they could be producing within 3 years.
If you bring this up with Germans over the age of sixty....lot of crazy talk that they never thought would come up as being rational.
