It was the US that put nukes into europe first, in turkey. the russians responded by putting nuclear weapons in cuba. this is historical fact and was called "the cuban missile crisis" (this means it happened, its confirmed and you can read about it).
as part of a resolution to the cuban missile crisis, the US removed the nuclear weapons in Turkey, when things settled down, the US put nuclear weapons back into Turkey. This is not the first time this is mentioned, hopefully it will lodge this time.
No, USSR (what you called "Russia") aka Putin's empire wishes already had nuclear power, while France only started first nuclear tests in 1959 (and UK 1957, but here distance is very important considering technology at this time).I hope that you realize the necessary time to develop fully operational missiles program at this time: 5-10 years easy, except if you are a very big country eventually.
So at this time USSR already annexed several countries around and even had some strong influence over others countries (communism was still a fashion, which dramatically dropped with amazing [SUPER]PURGES, GULAG and LAGOAI)
In clear words: USSR was a direct threat to the nearby countries, totally: West EU had no protection against nuclear attack and US were far away (once again, especially with technology at this time)Italy & Turkey welcomed the installation of nuclear deterrence on their territory. Thats for sure, better than being an
annexed cuck.
/e btw, later, the nuclear
SLBM deterrence managed calmed down the whole game.
