| Feb 24 at 17:31 | comment | added | Morresh | @o.m. - beside mentioned issues - anti-missiles umbrella may be seen as something prolonging cold war arm race or at least reason to keep their nuclear potential intact (you need more warheads to go through defence...) | |
| Feb 24 at 17:25 | comment | added | Morresh | @NoDataDumpNoContribution - and it's place where I call it politic - for example when US have abilities to transport help to Ukraine - UE/Germany may postpone theirs (especially declarations) | |

| Feb 23 at 15:58 | comment | added | manassehkatz-Moving 2 Codidact | Can someone please change "then the Russian" to "than the Russian"? I can't make the change myself because SE has this really annoying rule that a low-rep user who needs to have approval for edits (I am 100% OK with the need for approval - that makes total sense) can't make a very small edit. | |
| Feb 23 at 14:28 | comment | added | o.m. | @mlk, depends on who would have called the shots. FJS quite possibly wanted nukes. | |
| Feb 23 at 11:42 | comment | added | mlk | @o.m. I think at height of the cold war, without access to nuclear sharing, West Germany would have likely started their own nuclear weapons program, something which the US emphatically did not want them to do. Then after the cold war larger parts of the population did not want any atomic weapons in the country at all. In either case, asking too high of a price for nuclear sharing would have just resulted in Germany saying no. | |
| Feb 22 at 23:41 | comment | added | Dan Is Fiddling By Firelight | Categorizing Japan as an ally of South Korea is a stretch. They're both US allies, but relations between them are frosty because South Korea is unhappy with the level of apologies and contrition Japan is willing to make over crimes that happened when they occupied Korea. | |

| Feb 21 at 15:58 | comment | added | o.m. | One could argue that Germany does substantially benefit from the US 'nuclear umbrella,' but that is not dependent on sites in Germany. The NATO nuclear sharing is there to spread responsibility, not to provide significant extra capability. | |
| Feb 21 at 15:46 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | One could even argue that the US should pay for being able to use foreign territory. I guess it comes down to who profits how much in each case. | |
