France is to boost its nuclear arsenal and extend the deterrent to cover other European countries, in a major development of its nuclear defence policy.
In a speech in Brittany, President Emmanuel Macron explained the changes as the response to an increasingly unstable strategic environment.
“The next 50 years will be an era of nuclear weapons,” he said.
Speaking to naval officers in front of a nuclear submarine at the Ile Longue base near the port of Brest, he said the number of French nuclear warheads would be increased from their current level of around 300.

I’m rewatching “From” and one quote stuck out:
You can’t build a guillotine in the town square and not use it.
Someone is gonna launch a nuke. I hope to God it’s just a single one to remind all these dumb old fucks that they exist.
It’s gonna keep escalating to the point that someone does it, I don’t think it’s avoidable.
Guess we’ll see if the cynical old rationale for funding Israel as a lightning rod is actually effective I guess.
its probably going to be a super power but Israel has retards at every level and a alt right jewish party as government. Lets hope the schizophrenia doesnt give them the false idea of a nuke
It’s the ultimate Chekhov’s Gun.
There are so many critically important things we should be working on fixing. Instead our leaders masturbate to the idea of killing us all.
