The ongoing war in Ukraine, combined with uncertainties surrounding Donald Trump's potential presidency, is reshaping defense strategies in Northern and Eastern Europe. European nations, particularly those bordering Russia, are reconsidering their nuclear capabilities and alliances, given the perceived threats from Moscow. France's readiness to discuss its nuclear arsenal and support neighboring countries reflects this shift, while Poland’s Prime Minister advocates for a self-sufficient nuclear policy amidst growing concerns over U.S. reliability. This indicates a seismic change in strategic thinking regarding European security amidst escalating tensions with Russia.
The U.S. president's threats to ignore his commitments to his allies across the Atlantic have fueled the most in-depth debate on nuclear weapons in Europe in decades.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk suggested, "We would be safer if we had our own nuclear arsenal," reflecting a profound change in American geopolitics.
