- Abstract
Russia's war of aggression, Moscow's nuclear threats and President Putin's strategic gaols threaten Europe's security. NATO responds with a new strategy, the significant strengthening of its conventional defence capabilities and the integration of Finland and Sweden. Its nuclear posture remains the same. Its role and application are essentially based on the principles of NATO's 1967 Flexible Response strategy, which is the backbone of the U.S.'s extended nuclear deterrence. It visibly links Europe's security with America's security. American-European Nuclear Sharing arrangements require knowledge, competence and shared responsibility. European nuclear deterrence by France and Britain cannot replace America's extended deterrence. But the option of ending a war by selective use of nuclear bombs, carried by European fighter jets (F-35) against targets in Russia, should be supplemented for more flexibility by precision-guided missiles and the large-scale upgrading of air defence in NATO Europe.
