The War in Ukraine, the conflicts in the Middle East, Sahel and Africa have forced nuclear forces such as Francethe US and Russia, to review and update their nuclear doctrines, which seems to be doing and the Emmanuel Macron.
In particular, Emmanuel Macron announced today (01.10.2025) that he would announce the update of France’s nuclear doctrine in early 2026, in an interview with the German newspaper “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”.
“I am currently working to update our doctrine and wish to continue deepening our strategic dialogue with the Europeans who want it. There has been a European dimension since 1962, “the French president said.
It is noted that France and the United Kingdom are the only European Western countries with nuclear weapons and a nuclear blow.
The likelihood of other European countries from the French nuclear deterioration has been stubborn in recent months against their fears that they can no longer count, in the future, in the US umbrella. Friedrich Mertz, in particular, has called for such a development to be discussed.
Emmanuel Macron is expected to go on the day after Friday (03.10.2025), Germany, Saarbriken, 35 years after the reunification, at the invitation of Frank-Walter Steinmeier’s bond, also in the presence of Chancellor Fridrich.
On this occasion, it is mentioned once again, in this interview with the importance of the French -German couple and to the common perception with the head of the conservative government.
Answering a question about the possibility of a Russian fighter aircraft that would enter European airspace without authorization, Emmanuel Macron relies on “the doctrine of strategic ambiguity”.
“I can tell you that nothing is excluded,” because “we must maintain (Russian President Vladimir) Putin in uncertainty,” he said.
Last week, he had said that NATO should “take a step” in the event of “new Russian challenges”, adding: “We are not going to open fire.”
This time, he seems to regain his temper to explain that the Westerners “repeated in many cases in Moscow” that they would not show “weakness”.
The French president appears very aggressive against Russia, who is accused of interventions.
“We will be naive if we do not recognize that the Russian secret army is spreading to our democracies. It consists of these small anonymous warriors called digital boats. They manipulate democracy in France, Germany and Europe, “he warned.
