That's not a number-of-nukes problem, though. That's a threat credibility problem.

If France won't launch their 300 warheads, they wouldn't launch if they had 3,000 either.

You seriously think the French wouldn't launch at Russia if Russia launched first?

I didn't say that.

I said that, if MagnumOpus believes the French wouldn't launch, that's not relevant to dragonwriter's observation the EU doesn't have many warheads, which DrBazza was replying to.
