The Bundeswehr is celebrating 70 years of existence in a tense security context, with approximately 20 American nuclear bombs stored in Germany. These recently modernized weapons can be launched by Eurofighter aircraft and are part of the U.S. nuclear security commitment to European allies. Concerns are growing in Europe regarding the possible withdrawal of the U.S. from NATO, especially in light of President Trump's attitude. Expert Karl-Heinz Kamp emphasizes that, although there are no guarantees that the U.S. will use these weapons, deterrence remains an important strategy.
There is also discussion about the possible relocation of nuclear weapons to countries like Poland and Romania, in the context of the Russian nuclear threat. Russia possesses a significant nuclear arsenal and has threatened to use it in the conflict in Ukraine. Although Germany could theoretically develop its own nuclear weapons, this would have serious political consequences. Currently, Germany benefits from the nuclear protection of France and Great Britain. In conclusion, discussions about nuclear weapons in Europe remain complex and full of uncertainties, especially in the face of current security challenges.
