The rise of Putin’s nuclear ambitions is now said to be thanks in part to the German state. It’s not a happy affair, however, as it’s alleged Russian agents stole vital technical equipment from the EU member and reverse engineered parts of it to create components for its newly updated nuclear arsenal.
This is shocking news, but it’s concerning for world peace and the stakes are high. The aggression this suggests stipulates a return to hostile relations that once froze over the European continent, and many other countries besides. It’s also a humiliating loss, and sets Germany back as it pushes for its prosperity in its own development.
