The French air component does give options to respond to Russian NSNW first use without launching French or British SLBMs and the accompanying all out escalation potential.
At least in theory, this can provide an offramp from further nuclear use.

On forward basing, I think wartime dispersal plans, to airfields outside France, would be sufficient.
For reassuring allies, forward basing or nuclear sharing has a role, but there are drawbacks too, also when it comes to escalation control.
New times require new thinking IMO.

According to DeepState, Ukrainian forces have almost completely withdrawn from the town of Sudzha in Russia's Kursk region, as Russian counter-offensive there continues.
Ukrainian troops are still present on the western outskirts, yet it might only be a matter of time before they are pushed back further.

RT @dioscuri: Teaching ethics to undergrads in 2025 is bizarre, because:
(1) They insist morality is entirely relative and culturally constructed...
(2) ...while simultaneously holding unshakeable ethical convictions and viewing disagreement as moral monstrosity.
