France Seeks Clarity on Germany's Long-Range Missile Use Amid Russia Tensions
France is urging Germany to clarify its use of long-range missiles amid ongoing tensions with Russia. Germany has expanded its arsenal with missiles capable of striking deep into Russian territory, raising concerns in France about nuclear escalation and responsibility. French President Macron advocates for "forward deterrence," integrating France's nuclear capabilities to protect Europe. Both countries seek a joint doctrine to manage escalation risks, while the UK and other NATO members also engage in developing long-range weapons as Europe strengthens its defense posture.
