Folks have still not absorbed a key lesson of 2016: Anything can be made permissible, and any burden overcome, by partisan polarization. — PolitiTweet.org

@drfarls @DenisonBe I also heard some in Germany worry that rapid rearmament would create intra-EU security dilemma and destroy the union. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

@drfarls @DenisonBe IMO there’s a case that such a rapid German armament would risk preventative Russian war. Been…problematic in the past. — PolitiTweet.org

@DenisonBe @drfarls yeah credible baltics deterrence would be really hard to demonstrate. though arguably that’s already the case. — PolitiTweet.org

Scoop here: The Kiesewetter plan for European nukes would allow for first strike & using nukes in a conventional war https://t.co/M9mA8gTRpS — PolitiTweet.org

That’s the dilemma Europe is facing. They know they need to prepare for a possible US exit. But preparing can also make it likelier. — PolitiTweet.org

The reason even EuroNukes proponents hope it never happens: it would make a US withdrawal more permanent, which is what they want to avoid. — PolitiTweet.org
