YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGermany is famously "under the US’ nuclear umbrella"-creating a dependency that some are now calling risky. What exactly does that mean? How would US soldiers and bombs help protect Germany in a worst-case scenario? What options does Germany have to move toward a European umbrella? And why is this context so relevant when assessing the current German recalibration of its international diplomacy? In this episode of Berlin Briefing, host Nina Haase talks with her guests about Germany’s deep dependencies on the United States -from NATO cooperation to nuclear deterrence. Security analyst William Alberque and DW’s Washington bureau chief Ines Pohl join Nina to unpack the diplomatic fallout from President Trump’s controversial Greenland remarks, Germany’s limited missile‑defense capabilities, and the complex realities of nuclear sharing within NATO.
