Germany is openly talking about getting its own nuclear bombs and securing the sovereignty to use them. Considering its militant past, this is shocking. But what makes it more so is that many in our Western world are encouraging Germany to do so. While some oppose the idea for various reasons, virtually no one is warning that Germany could use those bombs to attain its World War ii goals.

Our world has come to trust Germany while ignoring the most blatant warning signs.

To achieve reunification back in 1990, Germany committed itself to renouncing nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. A commentary in Germany’s prestigious Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, published March 24, claims that there are now “good reasons” to speak of “a loss of the basis for the Two Plus Four Treaty, a significant change in circumstances, insofar as Germany could no longer effectively defend itself through the restrictions of the treaty.”

Since the days of Konrad Adenauer, the first chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, high-ranking politicians have discussed Germany’s nuclear options. But circumstances are very different today. Russia is waging a hot war on the European continent; its demand that Germany remains without nuclear weapons doesn’t count for much in this context.

The other World War ii allies of the United States, the United Kingdom and France are fine with Germany having access to U.S. or European nuclear weapons.

But what about Germany having its own nuclear arsenal and the ability to use it at will? Some in the Western media believe this to be a necessity.

Foreign Policy wrote on March 11:

Berlin needs an ambitious nuclear policy rethink that includes a push to re-create nuclear sharing at the European level—with the Continent’s nuclear powers, France and the UK—to deter Russia and other adversaries. It is also essential for Germany to invest in civilian nuclear research to maintain nuclear latency as a hedge. Fortunately, [election winner Friedrich] Merz has signaled willingness to do both.

The article goes on to question the reliability of the U.S. under Donald Trump, the UK under a possible Nigel Farage, and France under a far-right or far-left president. It then states: “That said, the only other option for Germany aside from a European nuclear umbrella would be to pursue its own nuclear weapons.”

The author completely fails to consider the possibility of a hostile leader rising in Germany.

Of course, the proposed nuclear armament has largely already happened. Germany has produced some of the best nuclear physicists, has some of the most advanced uranium enrichment facilities in the world, and is home to the largest chemical company in the world. It has everything it needs to produce nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in a short time.

The former allies did not prevent Germany from acquiring this ability—even after it became known that Germany exported that ability to Brazil when the country was ruled by a military dictatorship in 1975. The Plain Truth, predecessor of the Trumpet, wrote in August 1980:

The contract between Brazil and West Germany has been widely criticized. Washington, especially, has expressed fears that the deal could ultimately lead to the manufacture of atomic weapons by Brazil. U.S. intelligence reports have hinted that Brazil intends to test a nuclear device in the near future.

In 1977, U.S. Vice President Fritz Mondale flew to Bonn in an unsuccessful attempt to block the sale of German fuel reprocessing know-how to Brazil. The Carter administration strongly urged Bonn to cancel the contract. But the West Germans understandably refused.

One could say that America at least tried to talk Germany out of helping develop city-destroying weapons in its backyard. Today, that’s not even attempted. In 2019, it was again feared that Brazil could be using this ability to produce nuclear weapons. But the outcry about Germany’s lending hand was almost unnoticed and the partnership continued. Other nations German companies helped on their nuclear path include Argentina and Iran.

Since the U.S. is now fine with Germany giving Brazil the keys to nuclear weapons and thus the ability to destroy American cities, why should it be concerned about what happens across the Atlantic?

Germany also has the ability to mass produce chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction—and the World War ii Allies have done nothing to curb this ability either. Even after Germany was caught helping Iraq produce wmds, the world didn’t bother to stop Germany’s own deadly potential.

All things considered, our world seems fine with the idea of Germany having the ability to produce nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. It is unlikely anyone will stop Germany from publicly pursuing this option when the time comes. Most articles will likely read like this bbc article from March 31: “Germany Decides to Leave History in the Past and Prepare for War.” A simple causal observation, nothing to worry about. If anything, the media sees it as worth applauding.

In the lead-up to World War ii, Germany had to build its military with extreme secrecy. While we certainly can expect military surprises from this nation, it is remarkable how little concerned our world has become about its obvious public militarization.

Anyone who would suggest that these military ambitions could be a danger to America and Britain would be accused of Germanophobia.

Germany today is seen as America and Britain’s ally. The Bible calls Germany their lovers. But Jeremiah 4:30 warns, “Thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek your life.” Commenting on this verse Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry said in a 2023 Key of David program: “In other words, they’re not our friends, not the kind of people you want to give nuclear bombs to. And is that really something that any other nation would do?”

The Bible warns that the nuclear bombs so causally discussed today will be used. Isaiah 6:11 prophesies of a time when cities will “be wasted without inhabitant.” This is an end-time prophecy of a nuclear disaster. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ warned of Great Tribulation. Without His intervention no man would be saved alive (Matthew 24).

The only reason these prophecies have not yet come to pass is because God is giving our nations a chance to repent.
