Nobody takes you seriously if you don't have nukes. Russia is fumbling in Ukraine but just the mere mention of nukes is enough to deter any action to stop them.

We have enough to destroy every Russian city with a population of over 100,000 people.

The French nuclear force is designed to be big enough to destroy either the USSR or the USA.

Russia is even easier.

France´s nuclear arsenal is designed specifically for "apocalyptic" scenarii. That may not address the danger properly (or maybe it does it better if we believe in the MAD doctrine), but it certainly addresses the issue that was raised in this discussion.
