Nukes are only useful if you are at the point where you want to end the world. Germany should focus peace where possible and the equipment needed to end wars in their favor when peace is not an option. They can't deliver Ukraine the tanks, artillery shells, and and so on needed, so adding nukes to their plate is just diverting their interests. If they want to do more airplanes or air defense would be much better to invest in than nukes. (I'm not sure what Germany as in either of those categories)

A credible nuclear deterrent can preserve Nash equilibrium, i.e, peace through stalemate. That’s why the blyats were so spooked in the 80s with Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative. It would have overcome parity.

You are confusing can't and won't, Gemany and a few other countries have ability to produce a lot of weapons and armor, they really don't want to do it and corporations that make weapons also don't want to do it. So they obviously can produce more, but it would cut into profits on one side, and requires minimal effort and political will on the other.
Discussing nukes requires nothing and generates news, win-win.

Well, nukes are doing exactly that.

You're not supposed to launch nukes. It's a deterrent. If Ukraine had nukes, this war would never have happened. Germany wants to get their own nukes to get independent deterrent.
