‘Burn for us’: The real message of US-EU ‘nuclear sharing’ The US is offering European NATO allies a “nuclear sharing” arrangement where American nuclear weapons are stationed on their territory, making these countries targets for retaliation. This practice, described as a breach of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, involves complex agreements where the US retains ultimate control over the weapons. Despite the obvious dangers and potential for a devastating nuclear war, European leaders appear eager to accept this offer, prioritizing American interests over their own security.

• While a “dual key” system is mentioned, the US president is the sole decision-maker for the use of these weapons.
• Several European countries participate in programs that facilitate the delivery of US nuclear weapons, and some are eager to host them.
• The author suggests that European leaders are too “slavish” to the US, accepting dangerous offers that prioritize American strategic interests over European security.
