This is an interesting development. I wonder if russia will let them or attempt to intervene (not that they have the capability to do anything about it)

This news comes along with the France announcement. It appears to me that some euros are accepting that the world is changing and a nation must take their defense into their own hands

seems like something you wouldn't announce, right?

Wouldn't you just go for it, or steal them like the Israeli's did?

Announce it and leave people wondering if you've got them yet.

If anyone needs nuke deterrence, it's Poland. They have alternately been overrun from the East and West for centuries.

It's not just Poland. Baltic countries are also wanting them.

Realistically it's not a bad idea, and gives these countries deterrence against Russia without needing to rely on us or NATO.

I recommend James Michener's Poland for some entertaining history of the country. The polish peasant has to be one of the most unfortunate birth lottery tickets of recorded human history.

No different than France having them...probably an improvement over status quo.

less than zero chance of technology falling into the wrong hands from these countries.

And let's be honest. These countries have seen what happened to Ukraine when they gave up their nukes for assurances of peace.

Expect more countries to start building their own nuclear program.

Assume South Korea is coming down the pike soon...

Obama Left them hanging to appease Russia. The US should have put nukes there at that time. Probably would have avoided all the Russia expansion over the last 20 years. Strategic location for us.

Well, there's an old saying….

An armed society, is a polite society….



Let's just terminate the Islamic wing-nuts, and let everybody have nukes. Mutually assured chain reaction destruction.

They are going to build more nukes and will no longer disclose their numbers.

If we take care of the radical Islam problem then secure nuclear proliferation may make the world more peaceful. Like allowing citizens to conceal carry.

I don't see why France needs more nukes, unless the old ones are becoming unreliable. There is no European power right now that can successfully invade France. The Russians probably wouldn't have made it much past the French/German border at their peak strength in the cold war. They wouldn't make it into Germany today. The only thing they could use nukes for is to deter a Russian ballistic missile strike on Paris, but France already has that deterrent (allegedly).

Why doesn't France just give theirs to Poland?


France is either going to surrender or eventually let their govt be overrun by Muslims anyway


Same case could be made for the fruitloops in britain

Poland knows they have a Russian threat and all of their neighbors are becoming Muslim
