dudeNorway ready to start nuclear weapons talks with France
Why? What for? Nuclear weapons is the century-old technology. No need in talks or cooperation. Just throw a few million euros to a dozen engineers and they will do everything else.

Diplomacy is great, but if you can’t defend yourself, more powerful nations will take advatage of you.
Europe used to be under the American nuclear umbrella until recently, but with Trumps antagonism we can no lonnger rely on that.
France is offering their nuclear arsenal to act as the nuclear umbrella in America’s place.

Of course it is. I mean that in the XXI century any willing country can make its own nuclear weaponry. It isn’t that hard technically. All problems are political.

I do think that collaborating with France is a good first step towards rebuilding the nuclear ubrella that was lost with the US falling away as an ally.
It gives us time to breathe while wr look at maybe building our own nuclear arsenals.
