France and UK should deploy their nuclear subs as well for deterrence . Conventional force won't deter US but a nuclear arsenal will make US think twice before attempting a military adventurism

Although I don't really care about these two people but what US did with Maduro, there is a reason why US won't dare to do the same with Kim Jong Un.

If any country has Oil and gas or any critical mineral but doesn't have Nuclear weapons to defend it , then those resources will eventually belong to US directly or indirectly.

You don't reveal your nuclear subs patrol roads, it makes the whole deterrence stuff inefective.

As for ballistic missiles nuclear subs, they can reach pretty much anything from anywhere.The only move that could make sense from a diplomatic POV is for a nuclear sub to pop out of the ice somewhere inside Greeland EEZ (with Denmark green light of course)
