## Resource

Germany’s military is set to join France’s massive nuclear exercise, codenamed Poker, a historic step toward deeper European nuclear deterrence cooperation. Finalized this Friday as Chancellor Merz and President Macron meet, the move follows months of growing momentum — including Macron’s March call for enhanced European defense ties. With U.S. reliability in question amid rising global tensions and China’s ascent, Europe is stepping up to build its own security framework. Participating in Poker — simulating air-launched nuclear strikes — marks a concrete, strategic shift toward self-reliance and a new era of European defense unity.
