France will offer deploying nuclear ☢️ forces, NOT limited to Rafales jets in countries East of France in both training but also deterrence posture. Wishes of target countries, think 🇵🇱🇸🇪, will be taken into account 2/5
Size of the arsenal will be increased and the abandonment of the notion of “sufficienty" New France missiles might be used by others countries. The possibility of 🇷🇺-🇨🇳 alliance and 🇺🇲 unreliablity calculated 3/5
Targeting criteria changed in favor of a wider and vaguer criterion: the opposing state must not be able counter and shouldn't be abel to recover at all! Doomsday! 4/5
There are many questions and Marcone has promised stuff only to later back-track it but in total, this is major. Especially for NCEE and #NB8 5/end
