(Allgemein) Atomare Bewaffnung Deutschlands?

[Zardo]

Warum gibt es "Seven Days to the River Rhine" eigentlich nicht als deutschen Wikipedia-Eintrag?

Die einzigen zwei Nationen, auf die keine Kernwaffen geworfen werden sollten, waren Frankreich und Großbritannien. Weil die sonst möglicherweise einen Gegenschlag ausgeführt hätten. Das wollte man offensichtlich nicht riskieren... und anscheinend schützte um 1970 herum der französische Schirm nur Frankreich, während der UK-Schirm via NATO eingebunden war, aber die Erlaubnis des Premierministers erforderte:

Since April 1969, the Royal Navy has maintained continuous at sea deterrence, with at least one nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine patrolling the seas undetected at all times.[7] Known as the continuous at sea deterrent (CASD), the MOD states that its “fundamental purpose is to preserve peace, prevent coercion, and deter aggression”. They add that the UK maintains only the minimum amount of destructive power needed to guarantee our deterrent remains credible and effective against the full range of state nuclear threats.

The UK’s nuclear deterrent is operationally independent. Only the prime minister can authorise the use of the UK’s nuclear weapons even if deployed as part of a NATO response. The MOD suggests that the UK would consider using nuclear weapons “only in extreme circumstances of self-defence, including the defence of our NATO allies”.

A sobering conclusion to be drawn from the records of the Warsaw Pact concerns the validity of the concept of nuclear deterrence - the centerpiece of Western strategy during the Cold War. None of the documents we have gives an indication that the Soviet military planners considered themselves deterred by the West's nuclear arsenals. They were beholden to the fallacy that one could plan for a winnable nuclear war. If they nevertheless did not act upon this misconception, this was ultimately because their political superiors did not have any more intention than their Western counterparts to start a war. Whether the mere existence of nuclear weapons was the main reason for their restraint has been debatable and is likely to remain so.
