A Dutch airbase houses 22 tactical nuclear bombs which belong to the United States NATO controlled arsenal as part of the old "Cold War" military arsenal described by the country's former Dutch Prime Minister Lubbers as "absolutely pointless".
The revelation and criticism from Lubbers could once again reignite the European nuclear issue as Dutch opposition politicians, on both the left and right, demand that the weapons are removed.
Note EU-Digest: lf nuclear war would break out in any area, be it in Russia, EU or the US, one can expect that there will be immediate retaliation by opposing forces to wipe out the others nuclear stockpiles, such as the one in the Netherlands. For the Netherlands this would certainly mean "Sayonara" to the world it is part of today.
