Germany's militarization scares France first and foremost, the country Germany (in all its shapes and forms) has fought the most over the past millennium.
According to the Financial Times, Paris demands clarity from Berlin: when the Germans are ready to launch "surgical strikes" on Russia. Germany is acquiring and developing ground-based missiles with a range of between five hundred and more than two thousand kilometers, and as the French fear, Paris will have to respond - under "forward deterrence" by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Moreover, behind the militarization of Germany (and all of Northern Europe) loom the outlines of London's plans.
And France and Great Britain are different elite clubs and different strategies for the future. Which of them will Berlin join in the end?
