I mean, like the article states, the UK has already declared our nuclear deterrent to all of NATO, its only France that hasn’t.
If we want a tactical nuclear capability within NATO, it’ll have to come from the French, or European nations can offset the cost of a shared one i guess.
Every European country needs to have 20-30 nukes each distributed between air, sea and land. That will effectively close down all bullying from any nuclear power. Everyone will be in stalemate which means that only limited conventional wars can be fought (if any). Even if major nuclear powers have 3,000 nukes or more, it only takes a few well placed nukes to take the most important targets. Any country with any number of nukes will be safe.
There is no other way around it. Nuclear proliferation is absolutely vital for the survival of the world. Yes that sounds counterintuitive, but nonetheless it is the only thing keeping the bullies tied up.
Ever since I was a kid I heard about non-official nuclear weapons on various sites in the Netherlands and also that this was the case in other EU countries. There were/are nuclear weapons throughout Europe, just not officially confirmed was the rumor. Do other European citizens remember the same stories? And if true, do these guest-missiles work as a deterrent?
> But the NATO MLF was hampered by disagreements between Washington and the allies over basing and financing the cost of the program, as well as staunch British opposition to the idea. London preferred instead to maintain its special nuclear relationship with Washington, rather than lose it to some pan-European enterprise.
This is a little unfair, the French were also vehemently opposed to the MLF because the idea was not just the formation of a pan European force but the giving up of the independent UK and French arsenals.
Otherwise, pretty good article.
Very good article by someone who actually knows what he is talking about for a change, very refreshing. I especially like the concrete proposals to realise the “European bomb” – I agree with the author that there is no alternative to it.
I’m a history nerd, but even I didn’t know about the MLF (not MILF!) programme back in the 1960s.
Good read, thanks for sharing.
What specific multilateral nuclear plans are you referring to?
