Geesh it was meant as a joke, but if you insist...German participation in Afghanistan was token. And there's nothing unusual about a NATO country outside of the UK relying on the US for logistical support (ref: Libya).
And the EU was created because the ECC was superior? The UK, and German banks better have a lot of reserves set aside, when the 5 little pigs are revisited, and there's no ECB joint mechanism to stabilize the financial sector.
China went nuclear in 1964. So we have the US at 71 yrs since going nuclear, and we're an "oldie". But China at 52 yrs since going nuclear - a newbie?
Well that's a relief to know it won't start in Europe. Never would've guessed that.
Neither will ANY nuclear war likely to be caused by ham-fisted and blowhardtastic military and foreign leadership.
More likely to be caused by plutonium used by terrorists against the West, being traced back to a N.Korea as the origin point of sale. Also note any WW3 nuclear war that breaks out involving China (e.g. an "oldie") vs the US, and we probably won't be around afterward to muse about it.
Test question: How many 1MT nuclear explosions do scientists estimate it would take to create a global nuclear winter lasting for years? Answer: 25. Think India vs Pakistan. At least we wouldn't have to worry about global warming for awhile.
