I have no problems with a withdrawal of all US forces of Germany or Europe. They are your nations children and you can place them wherever you want them to be.

But note that we will consider to build up nuclear weapons on our own beginning on that day the US inform us (formal or informal) that they are not going to defend us with nukes in case of an attack with NBC-weapons anymore.

I don´t believe that I will face a continental war here. A war will help noone, deterrence works.

I believe the US has offered to extend the SDI to include NATO members and was turned down.

If an NBC-weapon were used on Germany then being on the ground would not give us any great advantage anyway. We can be there in a few hours if requested. And I think that Germany and the German army should be able to handle any conventional threats.

I hope you are right about a continental war. But you are wrong about a war helping no one. Otherwise there would be no wars at all.

Deterrence works, Mr Chamberlin from Duesseldorf?
Come on.
I do believe that there will be a revolution in the European theater. With this silly constitution, it will happen sooner than later. The aristocrats who will be appointed rather than elected will rule from the top down. The taxes and the restrictive laws the EU will impose makes certain that unrest will occur.
As far as Germany becoming a nuclear nation, forget about it. The french will do that for them. Just like Germany shutting down their nuclear reactors, while encouraging other countries to build them and Germany will buy inexpensive electricity.
The Worlds leading exporter? For now. Haven't you seen the trend lines? What made Germany such a strong exporter? The US opened the market by artificially giving an exchange rate of 4.2 to 1 in order for German manufacturing to take off.
Just a little wake up call. That is over now . We are not supporting the dollar anymore(for now), Germany with it's high unemployment, bankrupt social system, non- existing growth rates, will fall sharply in the World market. German made goods can't compete anymore. They have become too expensive. The Government is impotent as far as tackling the problems are concerned.
etc., etc.
