“The Iranian strike on Dimona and the Haifa refinery following the Israeli attack on the South Pars gas field highlights a clear and consistent pattern:🚨ESCALATION managed through deliberate signaling.

In both cases, we see effective command and control, with strategic guidance translating into precise operational execution at the tactical level…”

Towards a French nuclear umbrella? Assessing the transition from US to French dual-key arrangements | European Journal of International Security | Cambridge Core #France #Europe #Nuclear #Deterrence

Great Britain in 2026 is fully supporting the US military campaign in the Middle East. But British politicians omit a critical fact from public discourse: the UK nuclear arsenal is structurally dependent on the United States.

Since abandoning nuclear aircraft bombs in the 1990s, Britain's entire deterrent rests on submarine-launched Trident II D5 missiles. These missiles are leased from a shared US pool at Kings Bay, Georgia. British warheads (Holbrook) incorporate American components. Guidance and maintenance rely on US software and GPS satellites.

Range: 12,000 km. One Vanguard or Dreadnought-class submarine carries up to 40 warheads. This is the "weapon of last resort" meant to guarantee retaliation even if the British Isles are destroyed.

The vulnerability: if Washington withdraws support, the missiles lose guidance and targeting capability. The UK retains no independent nuclear delivery systems — no silos, no strategic bombers.

London presents this as "strategic flexibility." In operational reality, it means Britain's nuclear shield is contingent on American approval, making it not an independent deterrent but an additional target for adversaries.

Une inflexion notable du périmètre est à l'œuvre. Elle préfigure une européanisation accrue.

Et, à titre personnel, je m'en félicite.
