Macron says to discuss with European partners extending French nuclear deterrence • FRANCE 24

French President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday that he wanted to open a debate on extending France’s nuclear deterrent to other European nations, as security risks rise in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Macron also said that European military forces could be sent to Ukraine if a peace deal is signed to ensure that Russia does not invade its neighbour again.

  1. Using French nukes to defend other European countries is like giving all of your neighbors rocket launchers to defend their homes.

  2. Very poor guy.
    Dire to dream.
    No anti-blastic missile shield.
    No hypersonic missile.
    😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  3. Let Europe remember that in the process of keeping its promise of defending Europe through Nato it has heaped a deficit of over 33 trillion$ during the past few decades. Can Europe do this when it does not have the Euro as an international currency.

  4. Глава МИД России Сергей Лавров заявил, что ядерная риторика лидера Франции Эммануэля Макрона является угрозой для России.

    «Конечно, это угроза в адрес России», — заявил Лавров на пресс-конференции.

    Российский министр также назвал нервозным заявление Макрона по Украине.

    Лавров напомнил, что Наполеон Бонапарт и Адольф Гитлер тоже говорили о желании «победить Россию», но они заявляли это «прямо», в отличие от французского

  5. Emanuel Macron, the Rotschild financier's employee w@rs it off, that's how they sell you the w@r business‼️
    Meanwhile the European citizens💤💤💤💤

  6. yes only 1 person can hold the nuclear lever
    a person could be appointed as europes new military commander

    it should be a person whom has already demonstrated remarkable restraint
    and has witnessed the undue and horrific deaths of so many lives already

    my vote would be for zelensky to take on such a role involvementt
    if he eventually has to step down from his current position

    however i am not charged with making those types of decisions

  7. Макрон – шут.
    Он уже делал подобные заявления. Он уже пытался ввести войска в украину.
    Очередное представление.

  8. Putin can not be trusted. DJT is insane, he stirred the mud not just dividing Europe but US. It is dangerous and very stupid move. DJT never learned the hard less from past history. You can not live alone in this world regardless of how rich and strong you are. It's the people will that you need to earn. Not an easy move when you are next to an evil. Stay strong and European countries need be united. I don't think DJT regime can last long with these chaotic around the world.

  9. Look carefully, every single one of these leaders, be it from Europe or Canada are at the lowest point in their political career and popularity with a sharp turn towards the right wing's popularity. They want their elections to be stalled in the name of a strawman and fake emergency. Besides, the Military industrial complex's commissions are LUCRATIVE.

  10. Our country has failed you, and it is both heartbreaking and infuriating to watch as an American. The resistance here will do what we can. My Senator stands with you, and I believe most Americans still do too. It is still hard to believe our country elected that person after all the damage he had already done to our democracy. But I will NEVER give up on our democracy and return to nationwide sanity again. Hopefully we can stand with you again soon.

  11. Well, the last I knew we don’t let little boys make adult decisions. Macroni needs to go back to his mommy. I mean his wife. This is comical, but then again Zelensky is a comic so now we one two for dark comedy.

  12. That Macron looks estupid because he has no idea that neither Italy nor Germany possess nuclear weapons

    even though they participate in NATO's defense policy.

    Most NATO countries DO NOT HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS:

    ALBANIA, BULGARIA, CROATIA, CZECH REPUBLIC, ESTONIA, GREECE, HUMBRIA, ICELAND, LATVIA, LUXEMBOURG,

    MONTENEGRO, NORWAY, POLAND, PORTUGAL, ROMANIA, SPAIN (THIS LAST ONE ALTHOUGH IT HOUSES US NUCLEAR

    WEAPONS IN ITS TERRITORY)

    THESE COUNTRIES EVEN THOUGH THEY DO NOT HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS, PARTICIPATE IN NATO'S DEFENCE POLICY.

    IT IS CLEAR THAT MACRON DOES NOT REALIZE THAT RUSSIA HAS 5,800 NUCLEAR WARHEADS while the UK has 225 nuclear

    warheads and France has around 290 warheads.

    If China joins Putin with its 420 nuclear warheads more, the total between China and Russia would be 6,220 warheads against

    515 nuclear warheads (between the UK and France together).
    And even worse for NATO if North Korea decide joins China against NATO (which is rumored to have 600 extra nuclear warheads)
    against NATO, (not counting the US which will not defend NATO) NATO would be the loser.
    United States under Donald Trump would not participate in a Nuclear War to protect NATO

    for the following reasons:

    1-taking advantage of the US by paying less for their defense and letting Trump donate as much money as possible

    2-disrespect with the European tariffs imposed on the US

    3-disrespect of Zelenki who refuses to sign peace with Putin and caused a heated discussion in the White House and his desire to continue the war

    which motivated Trump to kick him out of the White House.

    4-Trump cut off financial aid to Ukraine and left it to its fate and called Zelenski a "dictator without elections"

    NATO would lose in a nuclear war CONFRONTING RUSIA, CHINA, NORCOREA WOULD BE 6,220 nuclear warheads against 515 warheads (UK and France)

    the NATO would be the loser.
    Miami Florida USA

  13. Haha Macron, he's putting on a show of aggression while he's scared inside. It's like an empty barrel making a lot of noise, like a scared puppy barking loudly to get attention but doing nothing and protecting no one. Just wait and see.
