Having a credible nuclear deterrent is existential. We’ve seen attack after attack from countries armed with nuclear weapons only against ones that don’t.
And if you look at India and Pakistan, it’s not true anymore.
India and China had also battled, but with fists, to avoid escalation.
In any case it is a catch 22. Developing a star shield will hold the EU back in robotics, AI and microelectronics to a point that nothing will be left to defend.
But the US are contemplating to use tactical nukes against China, with the idea that China wouldn’t escalate to strategic nukes to avoid their complete destruction. So nukes alone won’t deter, at least not the US.
Don’t forget that the US already control the politicians and, with their social networks, also the votes. There won’t be war between the US and the EU because the US will get what they want. But the EU will fight when the US asks for support. No nuke can prevent that participation.
