Germany Joins French Nuclear Drills as Europe Builds Independent Deterrence

Germany and France have announced joint nuclear military exercises for later in 2026, with German conventional forces participating in French nuclear drills as Europe moves to establish its own deterrence posture against Russia. This unprecedented shift in European nuclear strategy signals a fracturing of the post-WWII Western security order, with power blocs realigning and nations independently arming — a pattern Scripture describes as characteristic of the last days before Christ's return. Jesus warned in Matthew 24:6-7 that wars and rumours of wars, along with nation rising against nation, would mark the season preceding the end, and the normalisation of nuclear posturing between major powers reflects exactly this escalating global instability.
