> French President Emmanuel Macron will, as sources have told Kathimerini, designate it among eight European nations placed under his country’s “nuclear umbrella.”
Well that’s a weird phrasing…has Macron actually given the damn speech yet? I’d really rather read that instead of a thousand leaks about what he supposedly WILL say.
> The French plan is supported by Europe’s other nuclear power, the UK, and aims at enhancing Europe’s strategic autonomy and lessening its dependence on a US seen as less predictable. In effect, the plan paves the way for a sort of smaller, Europe-centric NATO.
Also interesting to hear that the UK is apparently supporting it. The UK already makes a political commitment to use its nuclear weapons to defend NATO allies, so how are we supporting this? In the moral sense? Or with hardware somehow?
Lol, so he wants to nuke Iran because France and UK hosts radars in Cyprus? Does anyone actually believe him?
Let’s ask 2 questions.
Against whom is France guaranteeing the use of nuclear weapons here? In other words, whom is France threatening here? Turks right? Let’s not make a fun of ourselves by saying it’s for Russia.
This is an absolutely “perfect” move while the US is abandoning and threatening, Russia is preparing for a wider invasion.
Do the Greeks really believe that France would attack a country with nuclear weapons for them? Because, such promises encourage Greeks to pursue their expansionist wet dreams like they decided to annex whole Cyprus and make of part of Greece in 1974 and started an ethnic cleansing massacre against Turkish Cypriots.
What did happen? Where was France? What did they do? You guessed it right; absolutely nothing.
If France’s true intentions is keeping the peace, encouraging one side with childish promises they won’t deliver is not the way.
France offers help=bad
France doesn’t offer help=bad
Go F Urself haters
You can tell how misinformation and shaping narratives are constantly operating. Every current NATO member is already part of the nuclear umbrella committed to the nuclear planning group via UK and US. France maintains a strategic independence but is still committed to NATO – so this is like restating a commitment in another way like it isn’t already the case.
