      I feel this is an attempt at a relatively low cost, low risk, low commitment way of defense.

      As countries that have been in the “nuclear” game a long time will tell you, you’re gonna be fucked if every defense problem that faces you that you attempt to solve with a nuclear deterrent.

    2. I think a better idea would be to propose a deal for the British nuclear system. Currently the British rely on the US for maintence and procurement of their ICBMS, which isn’t ideal imo. Replacing that with a truly joint procurement system between the UK and Germany (or others) would probably be more cost effective plus more strategically free
