The US has nukes stationed in Germany too and some are even meant to be hooked up to German Tornados, should they ever be used in anger.
However, that hardly qualifies as them being controlled by Germany. And therefore they, aswell, don't get a place on that list.
- jawbone3 10y agoUnless the pits themseleves are stored outside of the country, there's not more than like a week of engineering work and a quick wet job preventing Germany from having nukes. Forward stationed nuclear weapons obviously increases the risk of nuclear warfare by pure logistical effects, and the risk of weapons going outside the control of the owners, as the coup in Turkey remind us.
