In light of Trump's statements on EU countries needing to pay for NATO in order to get US protection a leading member of the SPD has declared an EU bomb being necessary as part of an EU army (and apparently somehow cheaper than just meeting Trump's demand that they meet their treaty GDP contribution targets).

And as usual it's because Russia, Russia, Russia. It's coming to get them, it's going to take over Europe Hitler style because it's forever 1939 in the minds of today's western leaders and that's the only way to ever view things.

80 years on and the SPD are still despicable fascists.

      Thankfully not. France does and the UK too (though no longer EU obviously). Besides them Russia is the only other European (well sorta) country with nuclear weapons. Though NATO nuclear weapons (American) are stationed on a sharing basis under US/NATO control in several other EU countries they can't be used except on US authorization.
