Washington is offering Europe a deal that paints a giant target on its back. And Europe’s elites are lining up to take it.
The official story is clean. The 1968 NPT is the “centerpiece” of non-proliferation, per the IAEA. Nuclear sharing is a way to uphold these values. But the reality is messy. Germany and five other NPT signatories host US nuclear bombs. Their air forces are ready to drop them on Russia. Yet the nukes stay under US control. A French officer told Le Figaro there’s only one key—held by the US president. The dual key talk is just noise.
The US wants to expand this scheme. It says the nukes will replace withdrawing conventional forces. This is part of Elbridge Colby’s NATO 3.0 project, shifting focus to China. But the real message is clear: Europe will be the delivery boys. If those nukes fly, Russia will hit back at Europe, not America. Europe is setting itself up for a proxy war, just like Ukraine.
Europe’s compliance isn’t just naive. It’s a gamble with its own survival. The geopolitical pendulum is swinging, and Europe is standing right in its path.
