Germany: Supports Nukes for Luftwaffe

Germany just published its first national security strategy*. It has some changes from the usual, including commitments for more Air Defense, NATO, nuclear weapons and not wanting to push forward with anti-satellite systems. Oh, and nothing about drones, a bit on China and Russia, Ukraine, space, cyber, lots of EU, NATO and multilateral diplomacy. Let’s talk about it! *Reunified Germany, ignoring somewhat similar but not really similar documents.
