www.zeit.de
As the U.S. turns its back on security commitments, Germany faces a profound shift in its post-war defense policy. Can it still rely on France and the UK?

Germany is at a crossroads when it comes to its security policy — one of the deepest upheavals of the post-War era.

    I really would like that everybody who is proposing a german nuclear bomb would also explain where Germany should test its new bomb. Bavaria? Mecklenburg? Erzgebirge?

      The obvious answer is to partner with the UK or France and do it in the middle of fucking nowhere, south Atlantic or South Indian Ocean.

      Something like the Vela incident could work, but seriously nukes are not that complex once you have the weapons grade uranium or plutonium. Everybody knows that Germany can easily produce weapons grade uranium so tests are not needed at all to work as a deterrent.

      Germany should test its new bomb.

      Berlin, obviously. If you time it right, the test will be indistinguishable from a normal New Year’s Eve to the general public.

      Even untested ones would act as a deterrence. Not to the same effect, but almost.
