Curiously, this “reality” of yours doesn’t mention any of the metric ton of lies told by Farage, Johnson, etc. For example, that bus claiming millions of pounds would go to the NHS after Brexit. You correctly state People are hurt by conservative policies, however Brits keep voting for them. You could have voted for Corbyn - you chose not to. Instead of keeping to ask for a special deal, after special deal after special deal as Britain did before, and during Brexit, just negotiate like normal people.
what’s the alternative to nuke sharing? Germany builds its own arsenal and you have no stake or say in it whatsoever. Does that sound more appealing to you?
I am not the slightest bit interested in the majority of your post, it is irrelevant. However I will say that I sense you might assume political affiliations I do not have.
If Germany are allowed under international law to build nuclear weapons then it is their choice whether they do so or not. I don’t mind either way.
Edit - and you downvote this too.
There is a complete lack of reality here. You mistreat the UK when it chose to leave the EU. You continually conflate Europe with the EU. You talk about building a European army, comprised of EU countries, then you expect the UK to weaken our relationship with the US and give you our nuclear weapons. For nothing.
When the silliness of it is pointed out to you you downvote. I guess this is where lemmy is at.
Here is a life lesson for you: if you don’t deal with reality, expect reality to deal with you. American liberals are learning this. It looks like European liberals are going to learn this too. I can tell you I wish all Europeans would learn this quickly before we are all forced to learn the hard way.
