Behind Poland's Seeking Nuclear Weapons Protection from France and the United States

Poland hopes to obtain nuclear weapons from France and the United States.

According to a report by Bloomberg on the 18th, Polish President Duda stated in an interview that Poland should seek protection under French nuclear deterrence while continuing to strive for access to American nuclear weapons.

Although Poland is a member of NATO and the EU, it is a country lacking in security. As a neighbor of Ukraine, Poland is deeply affected by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and has always been concerned about the possibility of invasion by Russia. Obtaining nuclear weapons has been an unwavering goal for Poland. However, with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad bordering Poland and only 400 kilometers away from Warsaw, Poland's security can be threatened without nuclear weapons. Even if France and the United States deploy nuclear weapons within Poland's territory, in the event of a conflict between Poland and Russia, neither France nor the United States would dare to use nuclear weapons against Russia. For Poland, avoiding provoking Russia is the best choice.
