Obama and NATO Paint Gigantic Bullseye on Germany

Yesterday at Ramstein Air Base here in
Germany, hundreds marched in protest of America’s drone killing and
warlike posture. Carrying signs demanding the U.S. military “to go home”
and “to stop war,” a crowd of Germans peacefully protested the military
activities carried out from this key base. Growing anti-US sentiment in
Germany is only an undercurrent now, but what about when Moscow targets
American nukes the Pentagon is sending? What if Germans discovered the
new nukes are first strike weapons?

Ironically, only Stars and Stripes
carried the story of the anti-drone protests on Saturday, but stories of
growing anti-American sentiment are purposefully underplayed in the
western press. Take the news Bundeswehr air base in Buchel in western
Germany has begun preparations for receiving 20 new B61-12 nuclear
bombs, if Russia had not complained, then you’d have never heard tell of
the move. You haven’t hear, have you?

Against the will of the German people,
against the German parliament’s 2010 call to remove all such weapons
from German soil, and even the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear
Weapons (NPT), NATO still insists. What’s more frightening still, is the
fact German nor European media has seen fit to report.

At Global Research we found a statement
by the former Parliamentary State Secretary in Germany’s Defense
Ministry, Willy Wimmer, of the CDU, warning that these “new attack
options against Russia” constitute “a conscious provocation of our
Russian neighbors.” For a scary revelation now, type into Google Germany
Nukes + BBC, or any other western media outlet. There’s no story. How
can this be?

If not for a singular story at German public TV station ZDF
(in German), the US’s retrofitting advanced thermonuclear capability
inside Germany would be invisible. In English, were it not for Global
Research, Sputnik, RT, and a few other reports of Russia’s response, the
Obama administration could as easily have bombed Berlin.

Let’s forget for a moment what the
spokesperson of the Russian foreign Ministry, Maria Sacharowa told
reporters, that “This is a violation of articles 1 and 2 of the Treaty
on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.” Strategic considerations
aside, the vast majority of Germans do not want ANY nuclear weaponry on
their country’s soil. The fact German and United States sources have
obscured tactical nukes from the German people is not arguable. This article from
2006 frames the fact, most Germans had no idea these weapons were
deployed in their country even a few years ago. As for the “legality” of
these new nukes, it seems evident the Russians have a valid contention.
