He cited the American Tomahawk missiles as an example.

They are losing the battle of forcing their WEF like agenda on the world population.

Because of that, they are resorting to plan B.

Set the world on fire, retire to their bunkers and force death upon the masses.

That is an accurate summary.

“There is no formal link between the NATO-PA and NATO although there is long history of cooperation that has intensified in the post–Cold War era.”

The M51 SLBM is a French submarine-launched ballistic missile, built by ArianeGroup, and deployed with the French Navy. Designed to replace the M45 SLBM (in French terminology the MSBS – Mer-Sol-Balistique-Stratégique “Sea-ground-Strategic ballistic”), it was first deployed in 2010.

Each missile carries six to ten independently targetable TN 75 thermonuclear warheads.

Mass 52,000 kg
Length 12.0 m
Diameter 2.3 m
Warhead M51.1 = 6 to 10 TN 75 MIRV 110 kiloton (kt) (420 TJ), with penetration aids.
M51.2 (2015) = using the new Tête nucléaire océanique 100 kt / CEP 150–200 m
M51.2 (2015) = using the new TNO BC 300 kt / CEP 150–200 m

Engine three-stage solid-fuel rocket (ammonium perchlorate composite propellant)
Operational range
Estimated 8,000–10,000 km (the range is classified information)
Maximum speed Mach 25
Guidance system
Astro-inertial guidance. Galileo system is planned.
Launch platform
Triomphant-class submarines
SNLE 3G (planned)

The Force de dissuasion (English: ‘Deterrence Force’), known as the Force de frappe (English: ‘Strike Force’) prior to 1961, is the French nuclear deterrence force.

France carried out its first test of an atomic bomb in Algeria in 1960 and some operational French nuclear weapons became available in 1964. Then, France executed its first test of the much more powerful hydrogen bomb over its South Pacific Ocean test range in 1968.

Following the end of the Cold War, France decommissioned all its land-based nuclear missiles, thus the Force de dissuasion today only incorporates an air- and sea-based arsenal.

The Armée de l’air et de l’espace has 54 ASMP-A medium-range air-to-ground missiles with the TNA (Airborne nuclear warhead) at its disposal. These are deployed on the Dassault Rafale B, which fully replaced the Dassault Mirage 2000N in 2018.

The Aviation navale can operate the ASMP-A missile from the Dassault Rafale M (CATOBAR carrier variant). These aircraft are landbased at Landivisiau Naval Air Base and on the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle when at sea. Thus they can be operated flexibly. The Rafale M is also certified to operate from United States Navy aircraft carriers.

The locations of the nuclear missiles are secret (although many storage facilities are already known to the public, the number of warheads inside is classified and changes frequently).

“Within ten years, we shall have the means to kill 80 million Russians. I truly believe that one does not light-heartedly attack people who are able to kill 80 million Russians”

[alleged to have been said by DeGaulle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_de_dissuasion

The Air-Sol Moyenne Portée (”Medium-Range Air-to-Surface”) or ASMP is a French nuclear-armed air-launched cruise missile manufactured by MBDA France.

Mass 860 kg (1,900 lb)
Length 5.38 m (17.7 ft)
Diameter 380 mm (15 in)
Warhead TN 81 nuclear warhead, variable yield 100 to 300 kilotons of TNT (420 to 1,260 TJ)
Engine liquid-fuel ramjet
Operational range
ASMP: 300 km (190 mi) (estimated; the ASMP’s range as well as that of its modernized variants are classified information)
ASMP-A: 500 km (310 mi)
ASMPA-R: 500 km (310 mi)–600 km (370 mi)
Maximum speed up to Mach 3

The BGM-109 Tomahawk won’t be able to travel far in Russian airspace. Operational range - 2,500 km


Unlike the slow moving prop driven UKR drones that go 2000 km to hit oil refineries and such like inside Russia.

I don’t think even the crazy Neocons in DC are this crazy.

Tomahawks?

Why not refurbished Pershing IIs?

Hell, they’ll fantasize about Tridents next.

Should we pull out of NATO? Dumb question but if they wish to start WWIII, what do we have to lose?

Their principal objective is, and always has been, to get the US military directly involved in fighting Russia.

They want us to fight a war for them.

This is the disfunction WE created with NATO.
