Ex-Spy & Researcher EXPOSE NATO's Sick Plans To Sacrifice Europe | R. Rupp & O. Tunander

The "Nuclear Umbrella" always was a sick joke in which the umbrella itself would do the dirty work of exterminating the place it was supposed to "keep clean" of enemy forces. Today I speak with Ola Tunander, professor emeritus at the Peace Research Institute Oslo, and Rainer Rupp, former NATO analyst and East German spy, about the real meaning of the US nuclear umbrella. We discuss deterrence, tactical nuclear plans in Germany and Norway, Sweden’s old bomb debate, Pershing missiles, Able Archer, and the risk that Europe could again become the main nuclear battlefield.Links:Ola Tunander Substack: https://olatunander.substack.comRainer Rupp: https://www.rainerrupp.deNeutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.com(Opt in for Academic Section from your profile settings: https://pascallottaz.substack.com/s/academic)Merch: https://neutralitystudies-shop.fourthwall.comDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00:00 Introduction00:00:45 Origins of the nuclear umbrella00:09:22 Germany as the nuclear battlefield00:16:27 Sweden and Norway under the umbrella00:24:24 NATO planning and Europe’s destruction00:27:28 French and British nuclear limits00:33:12 Soviet plans in the Nordic region00:40:53 Pershing missiles and Able Archer00:52:00 Nuclear risks in Europe today00:58:58 Secret operations outside NATO01:02:31 Final thoughts on deterrence
