Deployment of US Missiles in Germany

The announcement of the deployment of medium and long-range US missiles in Germany, including Tomahawk cruise missiles, has raised concerns. Historically, similar deployments in the 1980s faced significant opposition and led to the scrapping of such weapons through the INF Treaty. The Pentagon's desire to deploy these missiles in Europe stems from strategic advantages in potential nuclear exchanges with Russia, despite opposition and arms race risks. The planned deployment signals a shift towards militarization amid geopolitical tensions.
