- throwaway1389z 9mo agoEvery sovereign nation should do. The notion that uppercase D "Democracy" is the only valid type of sovereign state is uppercase L liberalism propaganda.
- mattmaroon 9mo agoThat sounds like something written by an uppercase C Chinese bot.
- robryan 9mo agoNot easy though, the US has to basically allow it.
- jamincan 9mo agoDid the US allow all the other nuclear countries to develop nuclear weapons? There are quite a few states that could easily and quickly develop their own nuclear deterrent and the US is in a much worse position now to deter them from that.
- mattmaroon 9mo agoTell that to Iran.
- TheAlchemist 9mo agoWhat if France 'donated' some nukes to every EU country (okay, maybe not Hungary) ? It won't happen, but I wonder what could the US possibly do about it.
- mattmaroon 9mo agoNothing. We could and would do nothing. If we wanted to do something, it would be sanctions. We’re not so far gone as to invade Europe. The problem is they’d have to donate delivery systems too and I believe the only part of the triad they have is submarines. Most European countries simply couldn’t use it. But some could.
- mattmaroon 9mo agoThe current administration WANTS Europe to develop the military necessary to defend themselves so we don’t have to pay for it. We’ll probably send them the schematics if they haven’t already infiltrated whatever servers we keep them on.
