  1. Re:France has nukes too. by panurge · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    Reminds me of a lecture a former Nato general gave to our school current affairs society.

    He said that, in effect, the US had nukes pointing at the (then) Soviet Union, the British pretended to have nukes but just paid for a tiny part of the US arsenal, the Soviets had nukes and pointed them at the US and the USS Gt. Britain, and the French had nukes and couldn't decide where the **** to point them.

    In terms of big nukes, nothing much seems to have changed.
