- tasoeur 1y agoDo you mean as a new development? Because France (and the UK) already had them for a while. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_weapons https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_nuclear_...
- BrandoElFollito 1y agoYes, new development. When Trump dumped his support for NATO in Europe, everyone was looking at France to shield them and deter attacks. I was wondering if other EU countries were reasonably close to building a bomb and I found this question.
- thenthenthen 1y agoThe Netherlands has US nukes: https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vliegbasis_Volkel https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vliegbasis_Volkel Apparently also Belgium , Italy, Turkey, Germany have the same type.
- BrandoElFollito 1y agoYes, but these are US nukes, under complete US control. US decides when and where to use them. In other words, these countries are launch sites for the US army. What I had in mind are nukes under the jurisdiction of a country (such as France or UK in Europe)
