Macron on use of nukes against Russia

Macron on use of nukes against Russia. French President Emmanuel Macron has stated that if Russia used nuclear weapons against Ukraine, Paris would not respond with nuclear weapons.

His remarks received quick criticism from many who felt he had revealed too much information.

In an interview with public broadcaster France 2, Macron said that his nation had a clearly defined nuclear doctrine that was founded on the basic interests of the nation.

"These are clearly defined and wouldn’t be directly affected at all if, for example, there was a ballistic nuclear attack in Ukraine," he said. Macron also tweeted on Wednesday that France does "not want a world war."

Former French President François Hollande criticized Macron's openness, stating that nuclear dissuasion "relies on not saying anything" about what the nation may do in particular circumstances. #shorts #NuclearWar #ww3 #Macron ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK3S_cdEE-g
