Nato chief says continent cannot afford to replace American security umbrella
WTF Mark!
Did no one tell him France has already done this? (And the UK to a lesser extent but we still rely on a US delivery system)
The big questions with France’s nuclear umbrella are whether France will provide a nuclear guarantee to the rest of Europe, who makes the decision to launch nukes, and who will pay for it.
France has the best military in the EU and would likely form the core of the EU’s defense strategy, but it shouldn’t hold key competencies in defense.
