1. To all those "afraid" of Le Pen becoming the next president.
   Worry not as the French are far too educated to allow this misery to come to power.
   🇪🇺🇫🇷🇪🇺

2. Finally taking responsibility

3. France pretending to show power hahahaha under macron you are nothing, France is in debacle.

4. French always has plan B. Wait and see!!

5. This will help France as well. It reaffirms France’s position as the leader in European security and defense, and helps protect France and French interests in Europe as well.

6. Well done France! 🇬🇧

7. This is great move since US Can no longer be trusted, That Lady Le Pen or whoever her name is should be ashamed of herself

8. A poison pill in every EU country in the form of nuclear weapons….. nuclear weapons in Sweden, Poland, Denmark, Portugal

9. Finally, the EU+ is waking up.

10. Canada too!

11. Canada would like the umbrella extended westward too… noisy neighbour down south.
    We're currently shopping for submarines. We should probably be in line for SNLE3 … and then we can contribute to the collective nuclear deterrence.

12. Nuclear arms are only gaurantee your country will never be invaded would be smart for europe

13. The Brits need a back up delivery system for their nukes too!

14. people fail to realize that nukes are only a deterrent from other nukes. thats it. it will not stop another nuclear country from attacking you because .f you hit them big they will hit you big back and it would me MAD. so the armies fight it out and the strong wins.

15. This nuclear plan makes no sense. Starting a nuclear war ? Why destroy humanity ?

    Right now, Europe & the USA produce 1million 155mm shells per year. Remove the USA and Europeans not part of the “coalition of the willing” and were down to around 300k. Russia produces 3million shells per year, ten times that. And if European forces want to drive Russian forces back, they’ll need a 3:1 advantage, ie 9million shells per annum (27x what they produce).

    Of course it’s not all about 155mm shells. There are other factors (and if we go into them, Russia is more powerful in every sphere). I’m a jazz musician in South Africa and even I can watch John Mearsheimer’s videos ! Do you think French, ltalian & British soldiers don’t know they are about to be deployed to their death ? Sure they do. So they’ll refuse! Just like 8million smart and brave Ukranians fled within weeks of the invasion. They’re not getting called up to die for nothing. Millions didn’t vote for Macron, Starmer & Meloni… it’s time for pr0tests.

    March for peace, people of Europe. Ursula isn’t legitimate. Let your voice be heard. Ukranians can’t march against Zelensky, Ukrainian democracy was suspended years ago!

    Russia has won. They won loooong ago. The only variable is how much damage can be done, not only in Ukraine but in Europe too … speed things up. Pr0test now ✊🏽

16. Bravo France 👋

17. At least someone still stands for freedom.

18. Makes them new hegemons

19. Extend the use of the white flag as well.

20. Europe unite!!

21. Le Pen in jail as a traitor!

22. French are fried!

23. These lunatics really do want global nuclear annihilation.

24. This is why Brexit was so petty. There are massive reasons why Europe must be integrated.

25. 😂

26. il aurait fallu le faire il y a un moment… tout en partageant la facture, qui n est plus tenable pour un seul pays europeen. Ces technologies ont besoin d investissements monoumentaux.

27. ❤

28. ? World

29. Macron gets it. Le Pen needs to be isolated for good.

30. Le Pen proves once again that she is Putin's agent in France.

31. Why we should do that ?

32. Anyone who dismisses nukes

33. European nations will either stand together or fall alone!

34. Yes. Time to spend your own money to protect your own countries. Because I am tired of paying for your protection while you are completely ungrateful for it.
    🇺🇲❤️

35. France needs strong And leadership role.

36. Good idea 👍🏻

37. Well yes guys, we have been shouting from the rooftops to all of Europe for 40 years that we must maintain our defense sovereignty, because General de Gaulle predicted what could have happened, in 1940, he said "being an ally of America is dangerous. Being its enemy is fatal". So we have become autonomous in military armament and we have very good military equipment. 💙🤍❤

38. bon nuit! madames et monsieurs! the cool misty nights will soon be a part of Winter's past so.. enjoy! from our perspective it just doesn't seem the moment to be adjusting the 'nuclear umbrella' until a more secure and diplomatically polite situation exists with the peasants on the downslope of the Ural mountains! it is an interesting proposition even in peacetime, yet not necessarily in anyone's interests at all, and, also the point about French Sovereignty is a good one .. the conventional military power of a united Europa is a great threat and scary enough to deter most anyone from any serious or longstanding incursions to the Mainland, have some confidence, because then for those without confidence to console them there is the 'extra measure', the "comb that yields lice and little honey' yes! yes also the complicated matter of the French Aristocracy's nuclear weapon arsenal and, it's relationship with the Russian Empire's nuclear weapon bludgeon which subject has been in close discussion, both technically and suavely, in discussion publicly and privately for decades between the People of France! and Moskva

    on a more sour note, and expensive note, my Great Pyrenees dog and returning her, repatriating her to the Pyrenees mountains! on the Spanish side at least one of them the young 5 year old that was hit in the face and nose by a Jew, in the New World, these or that from the wandering people that left their Hebrew faith and the Holy Land behind, I would most certainly hate to see any Jews in Spain when we make landfall, there were times past when they were a welcome sight in Gaul, but it seems that the policies of non-violence that serve humanity so well are being forgotten in more than one place! avoiding violence and hatred toward others has been a longstanding policy in France since the get go, from the initiation and also in many other places, it is a good sound policy and example

    just as Pontius Pilate set Jesus born in Bethlehem to be released from any of his possible transgressions, given yet another or at least final chance! until unfortunately the angry crowd of far flung villagers, beggars, wandering dignitaries and contractors, the returning or passing huntsmen and fishers, and especially The citoyens of Jerusalem became too much for the small Roman force to safely hold back… and so instead one Hebrew life was lost, a terrible and horrific price to pay, but it was a day when too many people lost confidence, and that toll was paid, in a once and still magnificent city

39. When iran want they all were yelling

40. Thank you France

41. One thing is for certain. French will not pay for it themselves.

42. Le Penn is paid by Moscow
