Trevisan: Macron perceives political vacuum and advances in leadership in Europe

Macron is wanting to occupy a European leadership that may have an internal utility in France, which does not even have a budget approved. This cannot be despised. Political thinks of it in any corner of the world. Leonardo Trevisan, Professor of International Relations

Trevisan questioned the real potential for protection of the French nuclear system, as the country has a significant amount of bombs than other countries.

Is it a real threat? Is it real? Is it feasible? According to estimates of an atomic weapon control association, France has 290 bombs. If we compare to the US and Russia, this is very tiny; Both have over 5,000. Let us be clear: the French possibility is smaller than from India and Israel.

Of course you have the possibility of doing damage, but there is a problem: understanding what nuclear deterassion is. It is not for what I attack, but from what I get back. What technical evolution does France have to protect Paris? Imagine that the French attack something in Ukraine or Russian troops. How will they protect Paris?

This picture leaves a more political and less realistic view of what is effectively this ability to attack French. She can do an atomic damage. Can it somehow offer protection to other European countries, as Macron said with all the letters? Sorry, this is not real. Europe does not have any non -American missile protection system.
