Europe
Germany to send back US nuclear weapons
2009-10-26
[Iran Press TV Latest] Incoming German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle has said Berlin will seek the withdrawal of US nuclear weapons based in Germany in support of Washington"s fervor for a world free of nuclear arms.
Not a bad idea. That way the nukes are already safely locked away on the far side of the ocean should Europe fall to the Caliphate. And should the jihadis fail, we'll not need to send them back via air freight.

#2  Not a bad idea from the US point of view except it might have been better to deal them away in return for something (yeah good luck getting anything from Putin but still).

From a German point of view this is idiocy. The lefties mostly forgot the nukes were there but the Russians and other enemies certainly remembered. Now everyone will remember and the pressure to remove them will be high and Germany will get nothing for it but a weeks worth of good will and high fives.
