Yesterday's event in the White House might be what tipped Norway to actually dig into our financial reserves.

Looking at Norwegian media this morning, there are indicators and the pressure is increasing.

RT @Etienne_Marcuz: ☢️🇫🇷A roadmap toward a French nuclear umbrella over Europe 🇪🇺☢️

Yesterday, President Macron announced his willingness to open discussions on deterrence in the benefit of Europe.

Let's see together what the different options are at a short, medium and long term.

There are a lot of nuclear ideas floating around in Europe now.

I think French extended deterrence, while the rest focus on conventional rearmament and the civilian side of total defense, is the best one.

This would be new, trust would need to be built, but it can be done. https://twitter.com/Etienne_Marcuz/status/1895786101635498352#m

With the French air component, as @Etienne_Marcuz writes about, allies can quickly be brought into a support role.

That air component also offers enough flexibility to deal with most scenarios we could face.

@commander206: I'd say the French nuclear force is capable of deterring Russia, as it can inflict unacceptable damage

They maintain one strategic submarine at sea 24/365 and showed in early 2022 that they can surge more.

Air component can deal with non strategic use

@PanzerJo: Jeg er ikke en "arms control guy" men atomvåpen er alvorlige saker, de er veldig dyre, og konsekvensene verden over hvis Ikkespredningsavtalen kollapser er store.

Og; vi trenger alternativer som kan iverksettes og gi effekt raskt.
