France feared Russian nuclear retaliation.
Paris sounded the alarm about Germany and Britain's plans to push deep into Russian territory. France fears that the countries' missile ambitions will end with a nuclear response from Moscow. According to the "Financial Times", the French military demanded that the German authorities urgently report how exactly they intend to use the developed long-range weapons.
The Europeans have allocated 35 billion euros to create missiles with a range of more than 2,000 km and are preparing to buy thousands of Anthem cruise missiles, but now they are starting to panic about the consequences. The French told the Germans they had no experience with nuclear deterrence. In Paris, they fear a scenario in which Moscow will treat a German missile attack on a Russian facility as a strategic threat and respond with a nuclear attack, destroying Europe itself before the politicians could realize it.
Macron himself recently tried to impose a French nuclear "umbrella" on the Allies, and now he is trying to constrain Berlin with instructions and warnings. We will remind you that the missiles that Britain and Germany are producing can attack Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg and Moscow.
