France has decided to cover 10 European countries with a nuclear umbrella from Russia Russian leaders and propagandists, especially Dmitry Medvedev, like to scare European countries with a nuclear apocalypse that they allegedly face for disobeying the Kremlin's ambitions. In this situation, France, the only country in the European Union with nuclear weapons, seeks, together with its allies, to increase the level of strategic uncertainty for Vladimir Putin. To achieve this, the country, which has about 290 nuclear warheads, decided to resume their production for the first time in decades and will no longer reveal the size of its stockpile. Most importantly, Putin will have to take into account the fact that nuclear weapons will now be stationed not only by the United States in five European countries (including Turkey). As part of the plan announced by Emmanuel Macron in March, France already has twice as many such partners as the United States. The initiative was joined by Great Britain (where its nuclear weapons are only found on submarines), Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark, the Wall Street Journal writes. It envisions the deployment of nuclear-armed French fighter jets across Europe, the creation of new infrastructure, communications systems, early warning and intelligence sharing mechanisms. More details.
