NATO Secretary General destroys Europe

So that is all. The Russians are in a panic, the Germans look in dismay at the Büchel airbase, hoping that the IDS Tornado from the 33rd tactical wing of the Luftwaffe will not fly away and take away the atomic bombs they love so much. Only the Poles, who have finally become an almost nuclear country, are happy.
This is precisely the picture that looms after the statement by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on November 19 at a NATO event held in Germany.
General nuclear weapon can be placed in Eastern Europe!
I wonder if Europeans will ever learn to elect to important positions people who understand the value and importance of their own words?
Throw in a passing phrase that seriously changes the political structure of Europe. No, not military, but political.
For the Poles, who have long after leaving the EU, Great Britain, yearn to take the place of the US representative in the European Union, this is just happiness that fell suddenly.
For the Germans, finally - just as suddenly fallen down treatment for a long illness. Suddenly get a chance to survive in a future war, stop being the first target for Russian missiles. It is expensive.
And only Russian missilemen thought about their difficult service. We need to retarget the missiles. It’s much closer to them to fly, after completing the task set by the NATO Secretary General.
Where does Europe have a common nuclear weapon?
For some of our readers, it was a revelation that Europe has a "common nuclear weapon". Indeed, any serious weapon has a master. There is nothing in common in the army. We clearly know who has nuclear weapons and who is on the way to receiving them. Everything is controlled in all countries.
So where did this notorious "common European nuclear weapon" come from?
To understand the situation, it is necessary to return to the times of the Cold War, the period of confrontation between NATO and the Internal Affairs Directorate. In fact, in an era when the United States and the USSR were competing for world domination.
It is clear that the members of both blocs were armed with weapons of Soviet or American production. Even what was produced in Europe was just a joint production. Let's remember the BMP of the Czechoslovakian production.
The blocks grew, took shape militarily, and by a certain point the Americans had the idea that the Russians would be able to quickly destroy the armies in Europe. The flight time of Russian aircraft is less than that of American aircraft from the United States. It was the end of the 50s.
And then, in order to eliminate this factor, the Americans began to import nuclear weapons to Europe. First of all, atomic bombs were brought in. Simply because for their use in NATO countries, American aircraft were already in service. According to Soviet intelligence, the total number of such bombs was close to 350.
In addition, since the end of 1958, the Americans also began to transfer short- and medium-range missiles. The first such missiles were received by the best friends of the Yankees - the British. Then there were Italy and Turkey.
Why was there no loud reaction from the USSR?
Yes, simply because the response actions of the Department of Internal Affairs were similar. We also planned to deploy nuclear weapons in Europe. But the number of warheads has not yet provided such an opportunity.
Both alliances were making far-reaching plans to arm the satellite countries with nuclear weapons. But there was a Cuban missile crisis, which just by a happy coincidence did not develop into a third world war. The leaders of the United States and the USSR suddenly realized what a terrible weapon they had in their hands. The idea of nuclear nonproliferation has become popular.
In 1968, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons was signed, which we often use in the abbreviation NPT. The USSR refused to deploy weapons in the ATS countries and began to withdraw nuclear weapons to Russia, the Americans did the same.
We talk a lot about the cunning of the American side. But on the issue of nuclear weapons, the USSR and the USA acted in the same way. The weapons were removed slowly, but new ones were not brought in. We took out the last warheads from Europe only in 1991! After the putsch, the Americans stopped exporting their own.
As of today, the exact number of bombs is unknown.
During the Soviet era, they talked about 180 or a little less. Today - from 100 to 150, in different sources.
These bombs are the "European common nuclear weapons." They are controlled by officers of the US Army, but Europeans will be used in a special period.
Why is Russia reacting so restrainedly to Stoltenberg's statement?
Indeed, why do we practically not shout about danger, why we do not threaten NATO with retaliatory actions. Yes, there were regular "concerns". But are they comparable to the danger of deploying nuclear weapons near the borders of Russia?
As usual, the answer to this question is simple.
We do not care at all about the movement of nuclear weapons in Europe. Moreover, by deploying nuclear weapons in Poland, NATO is playing on our side. The missiles located in the Kaliningrad region will reach them much faster. And we need to place missiles in any case.
Common nuclear weapons are currently deployed at several bases in Europe. All these bases, of course, have long been under the cover of our military and will be destroyed immediately, by the first missile strike, or aviation.
For information, I will name them by name:
1. Airbase "Kleine Brogel" (Belgium), has F-16A / B carriers belonging to the 10th fighter wing of the air component of the Belgian armed forces.
2. Büchel airbase (Germany). It has IDS Tornado carriers from the 33rd tactical wing of the Luftwaffe.
3. Aviano airbase (Italy). F-16C / D carriers of the 31st Fighter Wing of the United States Air Force.
4. Airbase "Gedi" (Italy). Carriers of "Tornado" IDS of the 6th wing of the Italian Air Force.
5. Airbase "Volkel" (Netherlands). Has carriers: F-16A / B of the 312th and 313rd squadrons of the RAF.
6. Airbase "Incilik" (Turkey). Here it is not clear with the carriers. The Turks do not have permanent crews of aircraft, and even the aircraft themselves at the base.
There are six goals in total.
The question arises about the number of bombs at the bases. In open sources, different numbers flash, but everything is next to the word about. Therefore, I also use the same terminology.
I will assume that the bases have approximately the same amount of ammunition.
Brief conclusions
We are used to considering any news from the alliance through the prism of NATO-Russia relations. But in this case, it seems to me that we were here by accident. The NATO secretary general openly threatened Germany, and through it, all of old Europe.
After the last elections in Germany, anything is possible. The greens are especially dangerous for the alliance. For many years this party advocated the withdrawal of atomic weapons from the territory of the FRG.
And today, having achieved significant success, they were faced with the choice to continue to advocate the withdrawal of nuclear weapons or to alienate a significant part of the voters from themselves, “forgetting” about their own demands.
Without suspecting it himself, the NATO secretary general grossly set up Europe, pleasing the United States.
Moscow has all the trump cards in its hands.
Any movement of common nuclear weapons in Europe means NATO's de facto withdrawal from the Founding Act. Europe will not want to agree to this. The instinct of self-preservation has not been canceled ...
