As the U.S. turns its back on security commitments, Germany faces a profound shift in its post-war defense policy. Can it still rely on France and the UK?
Germany is at a crossroads when it comes to its security policy — one of the deepest upheavals of the post-War era.
Well if the EU gets nukes i would imagine there would be a clause that allows for a return strike wihout voting and only a first strike being banned completely or require voting.
Since there are only minutes to launch a return strike voting over it is completely pointless.
Yeah, that’s what I had in mind as well. Of course there would be no voting with vetos over a nuclear strike. It would be an immediate response to a nuclear launch towards our territory, nothing else. There shouldn’t ever be an option for a first strike in my opinion.
EU nukes? Hungary would veto their use even if Russian missiles were raining down on European cities.

Member states already have mutual defense pacts that overrule any competing EU dictates in time of war.

So Hungary can veto whatever they want, but defensive actions will be taken regardless.
