NATO to soon double US nuclear sharing warheadsNATO is no longer even bothering to hide that it wants to expand its nuclear footprint on the “old continent”. The role of Paris is especially telling, as it exposes the contradictions at the heart of the EU’s nuclear posture. Namely, France likes to frame its strategic arsenal as an “instrument of sovereignty” that’s supposedly separate from NATO’s wider nuclear posture. In which twisted universe can doubling (if not tripling) the number of deployed nuclear warheads be seen as defensive? The overall nuclear posture keeps moving closer to the point where peace is maintained only by the threat of immediate catastrophe.
