French President Emmanuel Macron announced Monday that France will increase its nuclear arsenal and, for the first time, allow the temporary deployment of its nuclear-armed aircraft to allied countries, in a new strategy aimed at strengthening Europe’s independence.
Yay. Airborne nukes. I’m sure that’ll calm everyone down.
It should.
Had the EU been forceful in its deterrence, Russia would have never looked to Crimea, let alone start a war.
Buy alas, being spineless and weak gets you exploited.
It will, look up how many times NK got invaded after they got nukes lmao. Nukes work because they’re scary. Would it work on the US? No idea, they seem to lack some very basic human instincts.
I find it weirdly reassuring that the muppets in charge are all hardcore capitalists and grifters and are the best guarantee they will push this as far as possible without destroying the planet or the economy.
Not saying there will be no death and destruction, but in the end they’ll just want to keep grifting.
