America has been storing it's filthy stinking WMD on British soil for 7 decades.
Perhaps if we did not have NATO command here also, we may have a leg to stand on telling them to take their crap home.

"We have US bombs in Scotland, I don't want them here, I can't see how it is a deterrent, more like a target. The UK can't launch these war heads anyway, they are launched using US codes, from the US military."
Same for germany, the population is "not amused" about being a target. Only because of the fact that one of the most rogues states on earth(at least atm) uses almost the whole world as if would be "gods own" territory.
And we are not even allowed to have a-bombs, but if they are a-bombs of the former allegedly united states, then it is ok, somehow...
For the overseas bonded "german" government, not the people of germany!

Probably for the same reason, that America still wants to bomb its way to a terrorism solution, despite the fact that all this has ever achieved, is an elongation of the problem. Simply put, the MIC does not benefit from an end to hostilities, and the Intelligence element in the MIC do not benefit from an easing of tensions.

It doesn't take a genius to see what he implied with his reply either.
I never implied anything. Trump IS as thick as #.

If he's a psychopath. Where's your evidence? Can you back up you accusations of the President?
No signs of Trump being a Psychopath, Psychopaths generally have a very high IQ.

I disagree. I think he is doing the best he can do given the corrupt system he is wading through. I often say here that he was chosen but not for the reason that most people interpret.

The nuclear missile capacity of other countries is not a reason to have nuclear missile capacity oneself. Its a reason to develop effective anti-missile strategies, erect defence cordons through which no missile or MIRV or any other such thing, can penetrate in a functional state.
This technology is readily available in this day and age, costs less than nuclear arms do to maintain, and has less drawbacks than the nuclear armament option as well. In short, it is not necessary to threaten to turn regions to glass, in order to maintain ones borders and the safety of ones fellow human beings. It IS necessary to actually use defence budgets for defence, not offence.
And before I hear a damn thing out of any of the idiots who use sports metaphors where they ought not, NO a strong defence is a strong DEFENCE, NOT a strong offence.
