" I think the system stayed in place after the war and without a threat of invasion, why wouldn't the Germans and other Western allies dial down the defense budget even more?"
I think it's time for Europe to grow up and stand on their own feet.
- natechols 7y agoI don't necessarily disagree with this, but I can understand why Germany would be reluctant to significantly expand its military, and I can understand even better why the entire rest of Europe (especially, but not only, Russia) would prefer to have Germany protected by American nukes and not German nukes.
