British military chiefs have endorsed a new security agreement with Germany that could involve sharing nuclear weapons. The plan, driven by concerns over Russia’s escalating threat and potential US withdrawal from Europe, has drawn support from senior defense officials. While formal talks have not yet occurred, discussions are ongoing, with Germany already engaging with France on a similar arrangement. Chancellor Friedrich Merz has expressed openness to cooperating with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. A senior defense official stated that while coordination between London and Berlin may expand, any weapons-sharing plan remains ‘a long way’ off. Retired General Sir Richard Barrons warned that a shared system would be ‘unworkable’ due to the challenges of collective launch decisions under time pressure. Field Marshal Lord Houghton, a former chief of defense staff, called for Europe to consider a broader nuclear option as the US shifts focus toward China, but questioned whether it would be ‘a good thing or madness.’ Moscow has rejected claims that it plans to attack NATO or use nuclear weapons, stating its nuclear doctrine is purely defensive and aimed at protecting national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
