France's nuclear umbrella questioned amid European security concerns

France's nuclear umbrella questioned amid European security concerns

Europe is worried about its security, especially with the U.S. under Donald Trump and Russia's nuclear threats.

France has a lot of nuclear weapons and says it can protect Europe.

But some people think France's weapons might not be enough to stop a big nuclear attack from Russia.

France's plan is to use a small nuclear warning shot first to show it's serious.

But even with these plans, smaller countries like France might not survive a big nuclear war.

So, people are debating if France can really keep Europe safe.
