The French singing La Marseillaise in a nuclear submarine base is deeply symbolic.
France built its own independent nuclear deterrent after WWII to never again have to suffer a similar humiliation. Now France is offering to โadvanceโ that deterrent to other European countries.

Tired: extended deterrence
Wired: dissuasion รฉlargie
French nukes: It's hard to overstate how much of a sea change it is that countries such as the Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, Germany are open to talking with France about nuclear deterrence. We have been getting used to it โ but it's a major, major shift.
