Europe had been enjoying decades of peace, but it is now waking up.

However there is no sense in which Western Europe is under a credible military threat by the US.

The French nuclear warning shot is designed as a reminder, it is a nuclear EMP payload shot away from populated areas, and intended as a cease and desist, without lasting damage.
