Return to the Allied Powers?

Move, in part to, cut defense spending

England and France to create nuclear Entente

It looks like Europe is building a new military and political axis. British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy will sign two treaties today in London. The treaties have already been dubbed as historical.

Are they trying to revive The Triple Entente established in 1904? The first of the two documents stipulates the unification of efforts taken by the two countries in the field of developing the tests of nuclear arms. The French-British center of nuclear modeling is expected to appear not far from the city of Dijon, in eastern France. The French will supposedly be in charge of the nuclear tests, whereas the British will supervise nuclear research.

At the same time, the diplomats of the two countries said that they were not intended to share nuclear secrets with each other. They are not going to establish the joint command of the nuclear forces either. What kind of cooperation will it be if they don't share secrets? There is no answer to this question yet.

There is another, a more trivial reason for the appearance of the military alliance between the two countries. It is the crisis. The two states took the course to cut their defense spending. For instance, France refused from building its second aircraft carrier, whereas Britain decided to cut the defense budget by at least eight percent.
