In November 2022 former minister president of the Saarland Oskar Lafontaine and leader of the [[SPD]] demanded the closure of all American military bases in Germany and proposed forgoing a separate military alliance with France apart from NATO after the American attack and destruction of German civilian infrastructure on the [[Nordstream]] pipeline, and America's [[proxy war]] against Russia in Ukraine.<ref>https://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten.de/512679/Lafontaine-gegen-Biden-Die-USA-und-ihre-westlichen-Vasallen-samt-ihrer-Propaganda-Medien-sind-nicht-zum-Frieden-faehig</ref>

Büchel Airbase(''Fliegerhorst Büchel'') is home of the Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwader 33 (TaktLwG 33) of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) and the 702 Munition Support Squadron (702 MUNSS) of the [[United States Air Force]] (USAF). Since 1985, the TaktLwG 33 operates Panavia Tornado airplanes, which are capable of delivering the twenty B61 [[nuclear bomb]]s, which are stored and maintained by the 702 MUNSS of the USAF. Under the NATO nuclear sharing arrangement, these twenty B61 bombs require a dual key system, with the simultaneous authorizations of Germany and the United States, before any action is taken. Since July 2007, the airbase has been the only location in Germany with nuclear weapons.<ref>[http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,493451,00.html Bericht in Spiegel Online vom 9.
