US Ambassador Accuses Germany Of 'Undermining' NATO's Nuclear Deterrent


DW: US ambassador accuses Germany of 'undermining' NATO on nuclear

The head of US intelligence and ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, has said that Berlin is not honoring its commitments to its allies. Russian and Chinese aggression are not just relics of the past, he said.

A day after a new report found that the US spent $35.4 billion (€32.6 billion) on operating and developing nuclear weapons last year, President Trump's ambassador to Germany and newly minted spy chief, Richard Grenell, has accused the German government of not doing its part for NATO's policy of nuclear deterrence.

In an op-ed for German daily Die Welt published on Thursday, Grenell specifically criticized the Social Democrats (SPD), the junior coalition partners of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU), for their support of nuclear disarmament.

Grenell warned that just because the Cold War is over, it does not mean European security is not threatened.

The voters and leaders of junior party are no different than Greta Thunberg except that most of them are physically a little older.

Germany has always been for global nuclear disarmament. This is independent of NATO.

Germany must bring light into its body.

In addition, America must bomb Iran.

If you use a catheter that would mean it is inside the body.


UV light, respiratory catheter for COVID-19 from Cedars-Sinai seeking emergency use

"Ultraviolet (UV) light has a long-standing track record in use as an antimicrobial. But the primary limitation to using UV light in relation to the human body is that it can also potentially damage its cells. A group of researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Calif., known as the Medically Associated Science and Technology (MAST) team, has been investigating the potential application of the safest type of UV light within the body for years, particularly in gastrointestinal and genitourinary indications."

With regard to people power mainly the US gets out of the way and watch as the Iranian people lynch the corrupt ayatollahs and their henchmen.

Let us be honest. It is the Left in Germany that has been doing this. Many influence, supported or paid for by the Russians.

The Left in other Western countries have been doing the same thing.


Try being honest next time dude.

Over $35 billion dollars last year on nukes.
I can never adjust to how the dollar seems to drop in purchasing power so quickly anymore. Not too many years ago a low single digit billion figure was an eye opener. Now such sums could easily be rounding errors.

For all the propaganda that Zerohedge does one of the golden gifts despite all that is to point out the inflation caused by the FED.

From the 1980s, to QE to today.

The stock market was high while the economy sucked under Obama due to the Fed.
