      Poland must be itching for an Article 5 reason given the Ukraine bullshit. Maybe EU marches on Moscow, so we remove the threat once and for all.

        Poland has no nukes. Russia does. If Poland were to somehow march to Moscow and the threat was real, Poland would cease to exist

          Poland is NATO, so yes, they do have nukes. Maybe not ours, due to the current “leadership”, but plenty of others.

            I don’t really see Frenchmen risking getting nuked only so that Poland can march on Moscow

            NATO is a defense treaty. It triggers if Poland is attacked. If Poland attacks the mutual defense clause doesn’t trigger.

          Coordinated cut-off-the-head strike. High risk of retaliatory nukes, unless the intel is good and those icbms can be sabotaged. Ukraine has already demonstrated many deep coordinated strikes.

    If anyone is interested in how serious Putin’s threats are… The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation states:

    France engaged in a slow, but steady build-up of its nuclear arsenal and by 1980, it neared the threshold of what the Soviets considered posing the threat of “unacceptable damage” to the Soviet Union.

    Yes, France has reduced its arsenal since the peak of the Cold War, but it is still around the same level as 1980.
