Why? What for? Nuclear weapons is the century-old technology. No need in talks or cooperation. Just throw a few million euros to a dozen engineers and they will do everything else.
Nuclear weapons are still an exteremely effective deterrent.
Diplomacy is great, but if you can’t defend yourself, more powerful and aggressive nations will take advatage of you.
Europe used to be under the American nuclear umbrella until recently, but with Trumps antagonism we can no lonnger rely on that.
France is offering their nuclear arsenal to act as the nuclear umbrella in America’s place.
Of course it is. I mean that in the XXI century any willing country can make its own nuclear weaponry. It isn’t that hard technically. All problems are political.
Oh my bad, I completely misunderstood what you were saying. I read your comment as saying we should not be looking to obtain nuclear weapons because it’s ancient tech, instead looking for diplomacy.
I do think that collaborating with France is a good first step towards quickly rebuilding the nuclear ubrella that was lost with the US falling away as an ally. It gives us time to breathe while we look at maybe building our own nuclear arsenals.
