Apparently, Old Europe wants us to pull our nukes out of Europe according to a Stars & Stripes article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The countries \u2014 Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Norway \u2014 will discuss the issue with the rest of their NATO allies at a November summit in Lisbon, Portugal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis does not mean a call for an immediate withdrawal for all these weapons,\u201d Bart Ouvry, spokesman for Belgium\u2019s Foreign Ministry, said by telephone on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Ouvry declined to elaborate, saying he would reserve further comments for his partners at the NATO meetings.<\/p>\n

The Federation of American Scientists, using information gathered from public records, has calculated in recent years that nuclear weapons were removed from Ramstein Air Base, Germany, and RAF Lakenheath, England. Based on inspection data, the group said, that means U.S. nuclear weapons in northern Europe remain at B\u00fcchel Air Base, Germany; Kleine Brogel Air Base, Belgium; and Volkel Air Base in the Netherlands. The majority of U.S. nuclear weapons are thought to be kept at three bases around the Mediterranean Sea: Aviano Air Base and Ghedi Air Base in Italy and Incirlik Air Base in Turkey.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fine if they want to remove the single class of weapons that has kept the peace in Europe for the longest period in it’s history, pull ’em out tomorrow – along with the troops that stalwartly faced East for six decades. Move them forward so they can ground guide the Russians through New Europe. Maybe Luxembourg can hold back the onslaught by themselves.<\/p>\n

Like I’ve said here before, the most grateful Germans lived within sight of the intra-German border, heard the mines detonate and listened to the dogs tearing apart human bodies during failed escape attempts. It’s time to give them what they’ve wanted since the Reagan Administration – the view down the bore of an AK47.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
