some of the people in charge of the french military still hold to the old de gaulle mindset and are absolutely paranoid about making sure we can theoretically preserve our sovereignty no matter what, never mind the fact that our leaders still choose to fully align on the us position these days. so yeah, this translates into a crazy focus on our nuclear deterrence. it's difficult to know for sure which icbms are best, but ours certainly are the most recently developed.
