Because the US can’t be trusted with the defence of Europe and GB is clearly in their pocket? Is this a serious question.
Agreements are just paper, France wisely realized a long time ago that they can’t rely on someone who isn’t french to press the big red button that ends the world as we know it, in order to protect France.
Every country that doesn’t want to be the target of neofeudal strongmen needs domestic nukes. This is the lesson USA taught the world this century
What are the threat scenarios? Only Russia or also China and the US?
Nuclear bombs without second strike capabilities like deep sea nuclear submarines are no real insurance.
Remember that the US has beaten the USSR by pushing them into an arms race that they couldn’t win.
Elon’s girlfriend mentioned that he already has space lasers. https://feddit.org/post/30093440 . That means there is no possibility to threaten the US. The nukes are only useful for Russia.
I think the EU wouldn’t lose a conventional war with Russia which could require nukes as last defence. This leaves one question: Is it possible that Russia nuclearly bombs Poland to conquer parts of Poland and the Baltics?
Wait… Are you seriously contending that the USA is immune to nuclear strike because of elons space lasers?
Yes, it’s SDI in private hands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Defense_Initiative
The US is not immune but it will reduce the risk so that the US will choose nuclear war much earlier.
Ah I see, sorry I thought I was speaking with someone reasonably lucid and mostly sane, that’s my fault.
Good luck with whatever the fuck you’ve got going on

Why shouldn’t they also have lasers?
You don’t need the whole second strike infrastructure if you get creative: A big, really big, enormous cobalt bomb on your own territory is enough.
If you die, the world as we know it dies. All without the need to actually deliver the bomb.
