I am not the slightest bit interested in the majority of your post, it is irrelevant. However I will say that I sense you might assume political affiliations I do not have.

what’s the alternative to nuke sharing? Germany builds its own arsenal and you have no stake or say in it whatsoever. Does that sound more appealing to you?

If Germany are allowed under international law to build nuclear weapons then it is their choice whether they do so or not. I don't mind either way.

Edit - and you downvote this too.

There is a complete lack of unreality here. You mistreat the UK when it chose to leave the EU. You continually conflate Europe with the EU. You talk about building a European army, comprised of EU countries, then you expect the UK to weaken our relationship with the US and give you our nuclear weapons. For nothing.

When the silliness of it is pointed out to you you downvote. I guess this is where lemmy is at.

Here is a life lesson for you: if you don't deal with reality, expect reality to deal with you.
