    GERMANY A NUCLEAR POWER?

    Dr Farrell will enjoy this article. Maybe a news and views commment!

    • Very interesting. So with the “narcissistic Trump” (not very wrong there) at large, poor Germany will have to think about becoming a nuclear power; “soft power” is not enough. Germany must think about her own security, as the writer says at the end. As far as I can tell (my German is imperfect) there is no reference to the country’s nuclear industry and little trifles like deals with France, Israel and (in the bad old days) South Africa. But of course his assertions would seem to imply that Germany, like Japan, is a turnkey nuclear power. Just as said for a long time by Dr. Farrell. Who might give a “doff of the hat” to Dr. Hacke.
