Do you think they had the 'option' of not letting us put tactical nukes there? I don't think so. Puppetry is a matter of degree. If Germany wanted to break away from NATO and join the Soviets in an alliance, do you think they were free to do so? Not.

They were very closely supervised and we also gave them almost unimaginable amounts of aid with the Marshal Plan. Good insurance IMO. Buy loyalty with the goods and comforts of America - sounds good. And the good treatment by our forces of occupation. Where is our Marshal Plan for the Middle-East?
