France, according to media reports, is negotiating to expand its "nuclear umbrella" and deploy French Rafale fighter jets capable of carrying missiles with nuclear warheads in ten European countries. St. Petersburg University professor and political scientist Stanislav Tkachenko explained to Reedus that Paris's actions stem from Washington's less interest in its nuclear weapons in Europe. France, due to its much smaller resources, will not be able to fully replace the United States in this regard.
