  2. Nuclear proliferation, going to make us all less safe thanks to the 🍊 menace.

  3. I hope that the French wont missunderstand Duda, because boy i would be suprised if a missle hit Warsaw soon

  5. This guy has spent almost 10 years now of his presidency supporting trumpism while undermining European integration. His bet on Trump misfired badly

  7. We want we want…spent years buying americans military stuff rather than european material and now begging…pathetic

  8. “From the moment I understood the weakness of my Allies, it disgusted me. I craved the Power of the Atom”

  10. It’s such a weird demand because the only response that makes any sense is “I have nukes lolno”

  14. Arm some Taurus missiles with nukes and watch the glorious white light illuminating the lands If those who again and again “threatened” us with nukes.

    /s (?)

  16. IMHO the Brits should be looking at the French M51 missile to carry their independently produced warheads instead of renewing the American Trident. “One day they might not be allies…”

  18. The question is who do they need them for defense from? Russia or the US? Because at this point if Trump said he wanted to invade Poland, I wouldn’t be real shocked. 

  19. Their the tip if nato defense, full send, they need deterrence.

  22. sent one or two Rafale ASMP, why not (with the appropriate logistics), why not, but then we will have to buy Rafale F5s, knowing full well that our weapons are under unique keys

  24. The Polish are starting to distrust whether they are truly protected under the US nuclear umbrella.

  25. Get your own. Honestly how much Poland is investing in the arms – how the hell they don’t pursue their own nuclear program is beyond me.
    You cannot count on some other country for your security as “winds” are changing.

    If we had WW II now i am unsure if USA would not be allied with Germay and russia at this point.

  26. Probably the only way to stop Ruzzian aggression, threaten like for like.

  27. Stupidity has gotten all the world. Old soviet block nations all the more so.

  28. This PiS POS of a politician is suddenly worried he’ll get screwed over by both the US and Russia. Good. He wasn’t so worried when he actively backed policies that undermined judicial independence and media freedom, nor did he care about LGBTQIA+ rights. Yet, he went out of his way to shield two former PiS officials from facing charges of abuse of power. Lucky for him, we’re more focused on the welfare of the Polish people than his sorry self.

  29. hope there wont be no liberation operation from the other side of the red curtain

  31. Providing they maintain the French warning shot policy

  32. Everyone should have Nukes, so nobody dares to attack – world peace achieved.

  34. You are gonna need to put them in Canada and Greenland also. (Aimed at the US)

  35. Todays news, france nukes poland saying: this is what they wanted, right?

  36. Trump should show the world that fewer countries need nukes and denuclearization for all parties is the only way.

  37. >**“I believe we can accept both solutions,” Andrzej Duda says about hosting both U.S. and French warheads on Polish soil.**

    >France’s nuclear arsenal could indeed help protect Poland, Polish President Andrzej Duda said in remarks published Friday.

    >Duda, who has called for Poland to host some of the United States’ nuclear weapons on its soil to deter Russian aggression, said French warheads could also bolster Polish defenses.

    >“I believe we can accept both solutions,” the president told Bloomberg in an interview in Warsaw. “These two ideas are neither contradictory nor mutually exclusive.”

    >French President Emmanuel Macron has suggested extending France’s so-called nuclear umbrella over its European allies, amid fears an aggressive Russia could one day turn its sights from Ukraine, which it invaded in 2014 and again in 2022, to the European Union’s eastern flank.

    >With around 300 nuclear warheads, France is the only EU member country to possess such weapons, and one of three NATO members along with the U.S. and the U.K.

    >Poland and Denmark have previously expressed openness to the idea of sheltering under France’s nuclear protection. In March, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk — who comes from a rival party to Duda — said Poland was “talking seriously” with France about the possibility, which has gained traction after warnings from the U.S. that Donald Trump’s White House may not provide security guarantees to Europe in the future.

    >Warsaw has dramatically upscaled its conventional military in recent years in the face of Russian aggression, with its fighting force of 200,000 now the largest in the EU — and it hopes to build an army half a million strong in the coming years.
