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.

SDI?

Shield ...?

I KNOW that the US government has given the security promise to us in the 1950´s (to prevent us from building own nukes), and it was repeated several times. Therefore, I still believe that this guarantee is valid.

It was discussed to extend the National Missile Defense to W Europe, but it was too expensive for us.

A war will help noone, I deeply believe in that. But unfortunately, not all understand that. If Saddam Hussein had understood that, he had stepped down before the first missiles reached Baghdad. If Hitler had understood that, he wouldn´t have ordererd strikes against Poland 1939.
