Treaty Includes Mutual Defense and Industrial Cooperation As reported by Digi24, the pact includes a clause of reciprocal military assistance in the event of armed conflict, as well as expanded collaboration in the defense industry. Tusk described the treaty as “innovative” in terms of security architecture, adding that it lays the foundation for future technical and financial arrangements that could eventually integrate Poland into France’s nuclear deterrence framework.
The move follows French proposals to extend the protection of its nuclear arsenal — the only one in the EU — to allies willing to coordinate strategically with Paris. Macron has previously advocated for a more autonomous European defense posture, especially as pressure mounts from U.S. President Donald Trump for European NATO members to take on more of their own defense burden.

Because having the French on your side is so reassuring.
Let’s just make it official - US out of NATO
Everyone in Poland remembers how well it worked the last time France guaranteed to defend Poland against foreign invasion. The Poles also fought for Napoleon, who didn’t think it important to consolidate the Austrian partition of Poland or invade Ukraine first, the breadbasket of the the Russian Empire. Imagine if Napoleon had decided to spend the winter in Odessa?
The French and British are going out of their way to start WWIII. Of course they will use Poland to screw it up for real.
I believe Poland already asked the US to station nukes in Poland using a similar agreement with the US that the US has with Germany. Not sure if the US responded.
It’s amazing how often history repeats itself, each time with people in charge who are dumber and more insane than the previous time.
This is a public media exercise. For the rubes. Given Article V, the whole thing is “there.”
I remember so well the "uproar" when Ronaldus Magnus deployed more strategic nuclear missiles in Europe. It was a counter to the USSR, who had already deployed huuuuge numbers of nukes in Eastern Europe, aimed at Western Europe. The USSR threatened to walk away from "negotiations." Reagan stood firm, and the Soviets did walk away. I suppose they hoped that all of the anti nuke protests that the USSR was fomenting would change Reagan's mind. They forgot Reagan's overall strategy: We Win, You Lose. They eventually came back to the" negotiations."
When I first read the headline of the article, I was thinking about nuclear power generation. France currently generates about 70% of its electricity from nuclear power plants. They have plans to build 15 more by 2050. They even helped the fools in Spain when their vaunted, woke electric power failed.
While the woke fools in Germany actually turned off their electricity from nukes, France has not.
From the link below:
France derives about 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy, due to a long-standing policy based on energy security.

Should we build the neutron bombs (again)?
Or do they no longer make sense as tanks seem sovulnerable to drones?
Good luck with that.
I was assured by one of the Ukraine patriots here on FR, that if there was even a single tactical nuclear weapon detonated anywhere near Ukraine (even inside the Russian border), purposely or accidentally, that the NATO nuclear powers (including France) would quickly launch everything they had at Russia. (Yes, they really said that!)
So there's at least one person who believes it...
That Poland-France alliance certainly worked out well in 1939, didn’t it?
