@anderspuck Ukraine is a probable, Poland a potential candidate.
Germany might also be a candidate in view of discussions in conservative and "liberal" circles after the full invasion of Ukraine (I expect Merz to be the next chancellor).

@t_mkdf @anderspuck would not be surprised in the slightest, especially since we do have the tech and partial infrastructure (and technically even the Uranium)

@JmbFountain @anderspuck I know that until the early 2000s Germany was seen as a country that could build an atomic bomb in a years notice in view of technological capability and availability of fissionable materials (especially weapons grade plutonium).
I am not sure whether this is still the case 25 years later.

@t_mkdf
Wikipedia also mentions the Netherlands as a possibility. That surprises me.

@notsoloud @JmbFountain @anderspuck Japan is also a candidate.

@t_mkdf @notsoloud @JmbFountain Japan and South Korea are definitely also two countries that might acquire nuclear weapons. They are not European, though.

@anderspuck @notsoloud @JmbFountain no, but they are both dependent on the US for their security.
