Hopes or morality do not strictly dictate power as much as we might wish it to be true.


The number of Trump apologists lunatics who do not seem to understand what MAD was about is staggering.

Industrial scale warfare isn't some secret forgotten by accident.

The current American power-trip fantasy delusion is rightfully scaring the shit out of people, and the scary thing is the people who aren't scared.

It's reaching the point that I think the best thing is for Germany to detonate a nuke between the US and Greenland just to wake up the idiots who think it would be unreasonably difficult.

Edit: I see people are misunderstanding me as saying they should use the US bombs stationed there. I'm saying they should build their own - to have people remember that It's not really that hard if you have a functioning industrial sector.


Don’t let your hatred blind you to the ground we all stand on.

As pointed out you have built your worldview of drastically misunderstood table stakes.

I do agree Europe should become first mover but they are stuck in a world where they were a dependent and weakened non player for so long now they forgot how.


Germany is a non-nuclear-weapon state. Our bombs are there yes, but if you use one of our bombs without our approval there will be hell to pay. An invasion of Greenland will be all but guaranteed. Whether Germany will retain its military the next day is questionable.


It is ok for Germany to detonate nukes on someone who attacked NATO. The approval of the aggressor is not necessary.


Germany will be glass if they tried. Berlin will glow in the dark. They wouldn't even consider it in government. Their planes wouldn't make it off the ground.


I see you don't want to understand my point.

Why exactly do you think Germany is a non-nuclear weapon state?


Because we muzzled the wolf.
