Europe: US support is declining, can France spread the nuclear umbrella
Paul Kirby, Europe's Digital Editor
European countries have convened so much conferences with Ukraine that it is difficult to handle the pressure. There will be more conferences in the coming days.
European leaders have suddenly realized that since World War II, the 'security umbrella' they have been relying on will no longer. In the present context of Europe, the apprehensions are coming faster.
Europe has a broad consensus on standing next to Ukraine. In the end, France and the United Kingdom have proposed to form a 'alliance' if it is possible to make a peace agreement. Although Russia does not like this idea. Still, Makhon will make a plan together with the army chiefs next Tuesday.
But the biggest question now is, how is Europe protect itself? This is because the current situation is identified by the European Commission's head, Ursula von der Lane as 'clear and present danger'.
President Makhon said, “If the United States is not on the side to help, we have to be ready.” The European Union is now talking about plans for billions of euros to strengthen the defense system.
Makhon initially agreed. However, the final decision on how far the 'nuclear umbrella' of France will expand will come from Paris.
The question is, will the countries of Europe unite their wealth without US assistance and rely on each other?
There is no alternative to small countries like Lithuania.
But the debate has already begun. Poland Prime Minister Donald Task has clearly stated, “If we have our own nuclear weapons, it can only be safe.”
