France has a few nukes, less than 300. And mainly sub based (and only a handful subs). Nothing compared to Russia which has 5500. They could be taken out of play.

		No, but it makes a first strike by Russia possible. It's better to have a balanced number of warheads so that this isn't possible. For this reason the US and Russia always negotiated before reducing warhead numbers bilaterally. But the EU on its own is not in the same league.
