I thought they had their own.

Under NATO nuclear weapons sharing, the United States has provided nuclear weapons for Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey to deploy and store.[79] This involves pilots and other staff of the "non-nuclear" NATO states practicing, handling, and delivering the U.S. nuclear bombs, and adapting non-U.S. warplanes to deliver U.S. nuclear bombs. However, since all U.S. nuclear weapons are protected with Permissive Action Links, the host states cannot arm the bombs without authorization codes from the U.S. Department of Defense.

Hope that'll stop them.

Too bad the codes were on Hillary’s server

“protected with Permissive Action Link”

I understand that if the bomb is made inactive by use of the Permissive Action Link it simply fries the electronics to prevent detonation.

I could still be used to make dirty nuke bombs.

The mechanics of the nukes is all there. One would only have to strip the control circuitry and replace it in order to activate those bombs.
