What's wrong with the British and French nuclear arsenals?
And where are the "EU" armed forces, and nuclear weapon supply chain, and military and civilian command structures that would be needed to design/test/build/test/deploy/use nuclear weapons?

Well, in France and in England, although the other european countries have them as well, and/or are part of that supply chain - but it's not exactly advertised due to the general population's (imo understandable) disdain for nuclear weapons; and probably a collection of geopolitical reasons too.
Agreed, though the nuclear issue still has to be solved. IMO the EU needs a nuclear arsenal. Any future dictator from the east will keep on probing otherwise.
But, even IF the US-led over-dominance would be maintained, I really don't understand why my taxes paid, go into US companies. This model really does not work anymore after the USA allied with Russia (de-facto, if you listen to the orange king).
