Indeed, that's why the french nuclear doctrine is counter-value.
- a_vanderbilt 2y agoThere is a "European dimension" that I think you may not be considering. The state has maintained some ambiguity regarding doctrine, but it is largely regarded to be against strategic targets - including targets of mixed value. Geographic proximity limits their ability to lean one way or the other compared to say, the United States. A land invasion of France is a distinct possibility they must be prepared to counter. Could you care to link a source for my edification?
