    More eu nations are going to need their own arsenal. If you don’t have your own, you are at risk. Sad but true.

      The French have more than enough, there just needs to be a proper agreement at EU level to share more responsibility (and costs).

          Not if there is a proper sharing agreement in place before that, something similar to Airbus or so.

          And as bad as a President Le Pen would be, the Front National (or what ever they call themselves these days) does not have an agenda of undermining the state and international relations, like the new Trump administration seems to have.

            Very true! Airbus is a European public company, seated in the Netherlands and controlled by multiple European governments (FR, DE, ES) who together control a blocking minority.

            This is exactly what would have to happen to French nuclear weapons, turning them into European nuclear weapons instead.

            We relied on that not changing before. We mustn’t do it again.
