The prospect of Donald Trump's return to the presidency has sparked concerns over the stability of global nuclear balance and the future of European security, as highlighted by WSJ's @yarotrof. European leaders are contemplating the necessity to deter Russian aggression independently, amidst doubts about the U.S. nuclear umbrella's reliability. The situation underscores the potential for a shift in the geopolitical landscape, with France, under President Emmanuel Macron's leadership, possibly taking a leading role in coordinating a European response to support Ukraine. This includes advocating for Ukraine's integration into the European Union as a measure to secure regional stability and send a definitive message to Russian President Vladimir Putin, as argued by @celiabelin. The discussions reflect broader apprehensions about the impact of Trump's potential presidency on international alliances and the strategic calculus of nations regarding nuclear armament.
