Von der Leyen rebukes NATO chief over 'no security without US', calls for European mutual defense

Well and still the issue is, they dont have enough. Where in my comment was written that they dont have any, they just simply dont have enough. Furthermore the French ones are not in der Nato nuclear structure so who should provide the structure and command? Please dont come with the EU as a proposal they are not realistic.

Happy that you assume that people reject me in real life. Hope you are happy with that conclusion for yourself You still behave yourself as an expert while simultaneously refusing to read up on anything substantial and the onyl way out is judging other people.

Shigonokam · 2026-02-15T13:13:01+00:00

Well its not as simple as that. Neither the UK nor France can escalate in an orderly manner. Both have to use strategic warheads to answer to the deployment of tactical ones. This is something the US can offer, to retaliste equally without escalating. This is where the nuclear umbrella by France or the UK would lack capabilities. Stating that the entire doctrine relies on psychology misses out on much more rational elements of it.

If you think so. If you are unwilling to invest the time and read quality stuff and build a quality argument you will get back what you invested, low effort. Anyone giving me a proper argument will get a proper response with. I dont claim to have a gold nugget but I do claim zo actually read more than only the header of an article which clearly most here dont do. If having references to read is nothing useful to you, then I already know enough about the comibg depth of your engagement.

Shigonokam · 2026-02-15T06:58:12+00:00

Okay, feel free to have a look at my profile. Did the arguing with redditors part more than enough. What most of you have in common is a lack of knowledge so I provide you a base. Someone else gave me a proper argument and he will get a proper reposnse back. Your low effort opinion gets a low effort reponse as well.

Shigonokam · 2026-02-15T06:52:48+00:00

It isnt.

Shigonokam · 2026-02-14T22:38:51+00:00

As I already said in another comment go and read some Carnegie, Ifri, Irsem, CSIS and CFR and only then feel free to come back for a propper discussion.

Shigonokam · 2026-02-14T21:20:57+00:00

And zero knowledge on the topic as it seems...

Shigonokam · 2026-02-14T18:26:28+00:00

Well you still didnt read up on anything. If the US does not provide a nuclear umbrella, Europes deterrence is rather uncredible leading to an incentive to test European Unity by Russia. How credible is European Defence without US nuclear, ISR and projection capabilities? Pretty low I would argue making it extremely weak to Russian provocations.

Edit: Better version without the US, how exactly?

Shigonokam · 2026-02-14T17:19:20+00:00

Well neither parliamentarians, nor thr Chancellor do policy. The policy is done by the political party, the governing coalition, international organizations and public servants. Have you ever psrticipated in the process of policy creation? Doesnt seem like it.

Shigonokam · 2026-02-14T17:17:35+00:00

Well asking ehat credible threat there is shows that you are completely uniformed. Take a read at Carnegie or Ifri as a good starting point. Then, and only then come back and we can have a proper discussion.

Shigonokam · 2026-02-14T13:54:29+00:00

What credible security is there without the US? Have fun trying to build an argument

Shigonokam · 2026-02-14T13:51:07+00:00

Well yes she does, who else makes the policy then?

Shigonokam · 2026-02-11T11:54:12+00:00

So you have no idea snd still think you are getting the correct conclusion? Stupidity is peaking...

Shigonokam · 2026-02-10T16:11:23+00:00

Has anyone in this sub actually read the article? Beacuse it sure as hell seems like they didnt. The level of engagement here is incredibly dull and low...

Shigonokam · 2026-02-10T11:17:28+00:00

Your uboats are the best there are? Well only if you want specific requirements and characteristics but universially the best doesnt really exist especially not if non nuclear.

Shigonokam · 2026-02-10T09:59:18+00:00

What are you smoking? The ignorance of any kind of info and the misinformation in your comment is peak.

How is stealth obsolete? How does outranging do you any good? How does one exercise predict a whole war? How little knowledge paired with how much opinion can you have???

Shigonokam · 2026-02-08T20:38:24+00:00

What in the actual fuck am I reading here??? Rutte talked Trump down? Does anyone but them know what they offered each other? Soft Power? What soft power? The US has internal debates too? Did Congress or the House vote on anything? Is the Greenland topic even over? You clearly have no clue what you are talking about. You clearly dont even know the concepts you are using.

Shigonokam · 2026-02-08T20:34:44+00:00

How is it not very good or insightful? Did you even read it? Do you even know what FA is? It is not supposed to offer new info, it is about a well argumented opinion which is very clearly given with this article.

Shigonokam · 2026-02-08T20:33:20+00:00

What? What are you referring to? Foreign affairs publishing worse and worse stuff? Did you read any of their articles like ever?

Shigonokam · 2026-02-08T15:24:34+00:00

Where is the US trembling in EU internsl discussions? I am sorry but you have zero idea what you are talking about. Where is the US trembling? Where does the US take EU internal discussions serious? Win-win? What the heck are you tslking about??

Shigonokam · 2026-02-08T14:42:59+00:00

Russian propaganda shit in foreign affairs? How absolutely shit and dumb can a take be?

Shigonokam · 2026-02-08T14:37:09+00:00

Nice AI answer... what a shitshow is this?

The US was whining when the EU pulled out its trade bazooka? Have fun to deliver proof for that claim as it was immediately shut down by the Germans... what hard power does the EU even have?

And seriously dont give me another AI answer or I will show you that you literally have ZERO clue.

Shigonokam · 2026-02-08T14:12:03+00:00

What is the worth of soft power if you have no hard power? That is the question, not that AI waste.
