> This is inaccurate. My country (The Netherlands) officially has no nukes. It is a public secret Volkel airbase near Eindhoven hosts USAF nukes though. Diplomatic cable leaks, as well as a statement by former prime minister Ruud Lubbers in 2013 both confirm there are nukes hosted [1].
> Yet in statistics like in this article -among other- the above doesn't count. Not even mentioned. Which leads me to wonder how inaccurate the rest is.

Yes, but those are NATO nukes stationed in Netherlands owned by the USA. The article is about the owners of the nukes, not where they are at some moment.
