    Nuclear weapons are still an effective deterrent.

    Of course it is. I mean that in the XXI century any willing country can make its own nuclear weaponry. It isn’t that hard technically. All problems are political.

      Oh my bad, I completely misunderstood what you were saying. I read your comment as saying we should not be looking to obtain nuclear weapons because it’s ancient tech, instead looking for diplomacy.

      I do think that collaborating with France is a good first step towards quickly rebuilding the nuclear ubrella that was lost with the US falling away as an ally. It gives us time to breathe while we look at maybe building our own nuclear arsenals.
