An invitation is worth more than a feast.

Of the NATO members, only the US, the UK, and France possess nuclear weapons, but France has not integrated its nuclear arsenal into NATO's common stockpile.

Macron's move to court EU and NATO members in Europe comes amidst the Trump administration's prioritization of a foreign and security policy that moves closer to Russia. Trump even wants to end the conflict in Ukraine despite concerns and opposition from Washington's European allies. Macron is targeting the current general unease among EU and NATO members, as the US under Trump is no longer the reliable strategic military ally it once was. Britain, having integrated its nuclear arsenal into NATO's nuclear deterrence capabilities, can no longer do much more in Europe.

Poland wants an army of half a million men and access to nuclear weapons.

Macron's invitation is a new political ploy aimed at elevating France to rally support in Europe, amidst increasing US-European divide and divergence. The practical impact of this move is limited because France's nuclear weapons capabilities are currently not substantial and are not compatible with NATO's common military equipment. France's nuclear umbrella is not yet large enough to protect all allies and partners across the continent, nor is it sufficient to deter Russia. The invitation here is far more than just a feast!
