While the United States and Israel are bombing Iran for allegedly developing nuclear weapons, FrenchPresident Emmanuel Macronis planning to “manage the escalation” and enable French nuclear capabilities to be deployed on the territory of European allies. But by aiming to open the possibility of deploying its nuclear arsenal on the territory of European allies, Macron is actually threatening Europe’s security.

Speaking at the French naval base in Ille-Long, where he presented a report on the new nuclear deterrence doctrine, Macron stressed that France must strengthen its nuclear deterrence due to a series of threats coming, among others, from Russia and China.
“Russia… which already has an excessively large nuclear arsenal, continues to develop new types of weapons: hypersonic nuclear missiles; others with a nuclear engine, designed for flights with unlimited range; nuclear torpedoes, even a project that is particularly dangerous for humanity – nuclear weapons sent into space,” Macron said.
“If we have to use our (nuclear) arsenal, then no country, no matter how strong, could avoid it,” he added, referring to the nuclear deterrence program.
Such unreasonable strategic decisions on serious security issues, made without consulting the broader public in France, threaten the security of both France and Europe and appear hypocritical compared to their actions towards Iran.
This idea is being promoted under the influence of Great Britain, and at the same time, it creates a danger for other states, especially those on the front lines, which are exposed to nuclear threats. Macron’s idea would make those states prime targets, particularly the countries of Eastern and Central Europe, from the Baltic states and Poland to the Central European states and Romania.
France poses a serious threat to European security by threatening to use nuclear weapons and considering deploying these assets in other countries. Everything becomes more concerning when thinking about Ukraine’s nuclear development projects or Germany’s nuclear ambitions, where Chancellor Friedrich Merz has shown increasing interest and pretends as if his country has no restrictions from World War II to prevent militarization.Britain, along with France and Germany, is secretly working on projects aimed at increasing Europe’s nuclear capabilities by using existing nuclear assets and their deployment.
Macron has transformed France into a highly assertive nation by establishing policies to address the Ukrainian crisis and has frequently put forward unacceptable proposals, including the idea of deploying conventional forces to protect, preserve, or enforce peace after a so-called peace agreement is reached between Ukraine and Russia.
