Europe is planning to forge a bubble of nuclear protection from Russia made up of 300 French ballistic missiles.
French president Macron has suggested the submarine-launched warheads are fanned across the continent to shore up collective defense.
His offer followed a German minister urging the UK and France to forge a "nuclear shield" to deter Russia.
Leaders in Europe are worried about the ramifications of a possible Donald Trump win in the November presidential election.
And nuclear threats are coming out of Russia thick and fast as Putin's illegal war in Ukraine drags on.
Macron said he wanted to open up conversations about "missile defence, long-range weapons and nuclear weapons" across Europe.
The French premier, who has been incredibly vocal about stepping up defence in the face of Putin, said we need a "credible European defence".
The current US-led Nato alliance, he believes, does not offer enough protection.
France, he says, "is ready to contribute more to the defence of European soil," independently from America, offering up the 300-ballistic and cruise missile store.

How do you think the spread of 300 nuclear missiles across Europe would affect the daily lives and psychological well-being of its citizens?
@ISIDEWITH1 mesiac1MO
Considering the potential escalation with Russia, do you think relying on nuclear weapons for defense is a responsible strategy?

How does the idea of Europe creating its own defense independent of America change your view of global security dynamics?

Do you believe the concept of a European 'nuclear shield' makes the continent safer or increases the risk of conflict?

How would you feel living under a 'nuclear umbrella' knowing there are 300 missiles spread across your continent for protection?
