Good to know. Unfortunately that doesn’t change that people in power are willing to risk many lives.
With a space shield, they don’t press a button to start nuclear war. They simply have the option to conquer Europe conventionally, knowing that Europe has to settle because they can’t threaten severe consequences with their nuclear weapons.
Having robots to defend us would be much more helpful than a nuclear bomb.
Again, such a space shield capable of stopping a nuclear response to any meaningful degree from a major western power does not and isn’t going to exist anytime soon with the level of technology currently available. It’s just as much BS now as it was when Reagan announced his SDI. Only thing that does is a limited and somewhat unreliable system that can protect against very limited strikes as might happen if a terrorist actor managed get control of a few nuclear ICBMs.
In addition to the credible deterrence France has, Germany actually already stockpiles highly enriched uranium that would be enough for hundreds of advanced warheads. Sweden is also well positioned to get to nuclear missiles in just a few years with a concentrated effort.

How many more can the EU get within 10 years?

What’s your source for that?
This is the latest German declaration to the IAEA: https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/publications/documents/infcircs/1998/infcirc549a2-26.pdf
The former could be used for breakthrough in just a few months. The latter would take maybe 1-2 years to process first.
