With the US pulling back from its protective role in Europe, calls for nuclear deterrent capability have emerged, notably from Poland's Prime Minister. His remarks highlight the shifting security landscape in Europe, where the threat of nuclear escalation is exacerbated by Russia's actions and China's nuclear expansion. Although some European nations possess components for nuclear weapons development, the complexities of existing civilian infrastructures and a historical reluctance towards nuclear proliferation may hinder efforts. Experts suggest the likelihood of new European nuclear states remains low despite these pressures.
Poland must pursue the most advanced capabilities, including nuclear and modern unconventional weapons. This is a serious race - a race for security, not for war.
The major issue European countries are facing is that they either don't deploy the civilian nuclear infrastructure to launch a nuclear weapons programme, or, if they have civilian nuclear infrastructure, that it is highly 'proliferation-resistant'.
