Macron lectures the world about stability and restraint while France quietly does the opposite behind closed doors. In a single day, #France aligned with #China and #Russia at the UN Security Council to block a resolution that would have enabled action to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. No statement. No transparency. Just obstruction. Hours later, a French tanker sailed through that very same strait. So France blocks collective enforcement, then benefits from the security others are expected to provide. This is what colluding with the enemy looks like on the world stage!

An American pilot with 25 years of experience, a veteran of three wars and hundreds of combat sorties, spoke about Israeli military pilots. He published a post that quickly went viral: “I’ve flown over Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. I thought I had seen everything. But when I saw what the Israeli Air Force is doing in Iran, I realized I’m still a student. Precision. Logistics. 200 aircraft in one night. 500 targets. 1,500 kilometers. No aerial refueling from American bases. All the fuel from home. All the weapons from home. It’s like flying from Miami to New York, bombing targets along the way, and returning— while 200 aircraft move simultaneously without a single collision. To the Israeli pilots: You are not just the best in the Middle East. You are the best in the world. And that’s the final word.”

UAE pulls out of Rafale F5 programme, leaving France to fund it alone. Negotiations between #Paris and Abu Dhabi collapsed over access to highly sensitive military technology, particularly optronics systems. The #UAE had offered up to €3.5 billion for a stake in the €5 billion programme, but demanded access to “black box” technologies and joint intellectual property. France refused, choosing to protect full sovereign control over its most advanced systems. Paris will now bear the entire cost of the #Rafale F5 programme alone, a major setback for defense cooperation and a clear signal that top-tier military tech remains off-limits, even for close partners.

President Trump hilariously mocks Emmanuel Macron, claims wife 'treats him extremely badly’

US says France can't use America's GMLRS missiles with domestic MLRS The United States has refused to allow #France to use American GMLRS missiles with its Thundart and Foudre high-precision multiple launch rocket systems (#MLRS), the Euractiv portal said. According to the portal, a US official said that #Washington has not authorized the integration of its Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (#GMLRS) rockets into the French systems, raising questions about interoperability. The publication notes that, based on the experience of the conflict in Ukraine, in particular the widespread use of American #HIMARS systems, the French are now considering the creation of two new missile systems: Foudre, which Turgis Gaillard intends to produce, and Thundart are the joint brainchild of MBDA and Safran companies. Both are scheduled to go into production in 2027. French developers have so far said these systems will be compatible with American GMLRS missiles, which would relieve the French of the task of ensuring the production of significant amounts of ammunition for these systems.

Europe Out of Order...! Spain, Switzerland, Italy and now France have closed either fully or partially their airspace to American military aircraft that are being used in the 3rd Gulf War, a sign displaying the growing rift between Europe and the U.S. If countries in Central Europe start following the example set by Spain, each sortie from England will cost the USAF more jet fuel as then number of flight corridors is reduced and travel time is increased.

Trump to determine next steps on NATO, but US disillusioned about allies — Pentagon chief US President Donald #Trump will make the decision on the United States’ further steps regarding NATO, but Washington has now learned a great deal about its allies in the alliance, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stated at a press conference. "As far as #NATO is concerned, that's a decision that will be left to the [US] President [Donald Trump]," he said, answering a question about whether the US remains committed to the North Atlantic Alliance’s principle of collective defense. "But I'll just say a lot has been laid bare. A lot has been shown to the world about what our allies would be willing to do for the United States of America when we undertake an effort of this scope on behalf of the free world." Hegseth emphasized that US territory is out of reach of Iranian missiles, but the territory of US "allies and others" is within their reach. "And yet, when we ask for additional assistance or simple access [to military facilities of allied countries], basic overflight [over the territory of other countries], we get questions or roadblocks or hesitations," he lamented. The Washington administration has previously harshly criticized NATO allies for what the US side believes is insufficient support in the military operation against Iran.

The US is discussing the transfer of uranium enrichment and plutonium reprocessing technologies to Saudi Arabia The initiative of Donald Trump's administration on the possible transfer of #uranium enrichment and plutonium reprocessing technologies to #Riyadh is being discussed in the #US, writes Bloomberg. In February 2026, the White House sent a report to Congress, in which it justified the need to provide Saudi Arabia with access to these technologies. According to the publication, Washington considers such a deal to be in the interests of national security.

Aviano, Sigonella, Souda Bay, Ramstein core #NATO bases now potentially within range of Iranian Missiles. Even eastern flank positions like Rukla and Orzysz could be affected at extended range. What really matters now is scale: how many missiles Iran has, and how long it can sustain launches. The U.S. has used the bases at Sigonella and Souda Bay to launch reconnaissance missions on Iran with MQ-4C Triton drones.
