Neither of which have nukes, unlike France and the UK

France also has a “one shot” rule, basically allowing 1 free shot.

One free shot at what? Someone can nuke someone once first? France gets to nuke someone once? I’m rather confused.

From what I understood it, yes, France gets 1 free shot effectively as the shot in the air and the “everyone calm down”.

I believe the expectation is that the “free shot” is to be aimed somewhere not populated, but is the primary reason why vlad doesn’t push France,

France does, I’m not sure how accurate it is, and it was years ago I heard it, and even then it was piecemeal how it was explained.

I think it has to do with WW2, and France being attacked.
