French nuclear shield could extend across Europe
The Telegraph ^ | 2/24/25 | James Rothwell Berlin Correspondent. James Crisp. Memphis Barker in Washington, DC. Colin Freema

France is ready to use its nuclear deterrent to help protect Europe, The Telegraph understands.

Fighter jets carrying nuclear weapons could potentially be deployed to Germany as the US threatens to withdraw its forces from the Continent.

Friedrich Merz, expected to be the next German chancellor after winning his country’s elections on Sunday, has called on Britain and France to extend their nuclear protection as he seeks “independence” for Europe from Donald Trump’s America.

Stupid Euroweenies. We need to get as far away as possible from them as quickly as possible.

“Fighter jets carrying nuclear weapons could potentially be deployed to Germany as the US threatens to withdraw its forces from the Continent.”

You mean after all this time and money for the last 80 years you say “we can defend ourselves!”

Thanks, buddies.

"What could possibly go wrong?"

But glad to hear that they're preparing for a Europe without our intervention anymore, at least for a while.

If the French don’t surrender first of course...

Or an operation like Toulon becomes necessary again.

Trump never threatened to withdraw from Europe.

Yeah, right! Everything is hunky dory with Trump, the Euroweenies and NATO. What do you think motivated Macron to want to stand force de frappe on its head?

You’re not real quick on this Euro stuff, are you? Still shaking those pom poms for your Winston Z?

The gaslighting never stops. “France is ready to use its nuclear deterrent to help protect Europe, The Telegraph understands.”

From what? From who? Russia’s army is 10% of the size it was in the Fulda Gap days. The last thing Russia wants is to own the European snakepit. The EU runs around screaming about threats and self defense, and who will protect them.
The dirty truth is that they only face one real threat, Islam, and African migrants. And they welcome them in with open arms.

Like a bad woman in a bar, they walk around starting conflict and strife, expect someone to save them, and talk about how bad and dangerous that bar is.

Idiot, the bar wasn’t dangerous until you refused to stop screwing with people and slapping drinks out of their hand.

DeGaulle’s “Force De Frappe” rears its head again.

Query: questions have been raised about whether the aging US and Russian nuclear weapons are still usable. The French slightly newer nuclear weapons might be workable, but does anyone know?

French euro-tastic Air Force sounds a lot like “Italian Navy” to me.

What surrender monkey would fly that mission? Wake me when there are nuclear drones, then I’ll take up drinking...

Europe should be forbidden any militaries. No Navy warships, no fighter planes and tanks, no arty, no rockets etc.

They should only be allowed a small constabulary style national guard, a coast guard, and air forces consisting of cargo planes, transport helicopters etc.

And their arms industries should be closed.

The French are by far the best military in Europe in equipment and discipline. The Poles are rapidly improving, but as far an actual air force, the French exceed everyone in Europe. Same for their Army.

That would be suicidal.
Like letting David Hogg run a continent.

it does make one wonder why the government there hates their farmers and truck drivers but love the hordes that burn cars in Paris.

Let them defend themselves. It’s long overdue. Allowing them to live in a bubble of American protection has only resulted in them becoming soft and degenerate, ready to turn over everything they have to Islam.
