A NATO base, Afghanistan🇦🇫, 2009.
As a French🇫🇷 soldier, I served proudly alongside soldiers of many nationalities, including British🇬🇧.
I saluted too many fallen heroes, boarding in a plane, for their last flight to home.
With all due respect @vp JD Vance, go fuck yourself!!
Bad news for Starmer and Macron. Vance confirms the only US security guarantee in Ukraine will be the mineral deal. He also plays down British & French peacekeeping troops as “20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.
#InMemoriam L’armée de l’Air et de l’Espace et ses Aviateurs expriment leurs plus sincères condoléances à la famille et aux proches du lieutenant-colonel Antranig Sarkissian et du lieutenant Quentin Klysz, morts en service aérien commandé.
Trois prédateurs pour dépecer l’Ukraine et décider du sort des Ukrainiens sans eux. Ainsi va le monde aujourd’hui. Quant à l’Europe démocratique, elle est sous attaque depuis 48h. Attention, nous sommes vraiment en danger
Hegseth on Afghanistan:
I was a captain in Afghanistan, and we would go to the headquarters in Kabul, and there would be 50 flags at the headquarters.
It was a beautiful thing to see 50 different countries contributing to the NATO alliance and the ISAF mission there.
Except there were like maybe five that contributed. It was actually closer to one or two that, by the end, were actually involved in kinetic operations.
In fact, the ISAF patch, we would joke that it meant "I Saw Americans Fighting."
Denmark is raising its retirement age to 70. French election candidates pledge to reducing it to 60 or 62.
Denmark's debt to GDP ratio is 27%; France's is 117%.
You reap what you sow.

Un ami iranien qui vit à Téhéran m’envoie ce message après avoir vu les images des manifestations en #France :
« Vous avez bien le droit de manifester quand vous voulez, de revendiquer ce que vous voulez et de voter pour qui vous voulez, non ? Pourquoi brûlent-ils leur propre patrimoine ?! »
Je ne sais pas trop quoi lui répondre…
Exclusive: The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House https://t.co/E6UeFmioz9
Ukraine has officially received production licenses from France for AASM guided bombs, SCALP cruise missiles, and Aster 30 surface-to-air missiles.
Ukraine aims to start domestic production of the systems as soon as possible.
Ukrainian forces from the 475th Assault Regiment modified one of their Australian-supplied M1A1 Abrams MBTs into a heavily uparmored, casemated assault gun, seen here supporting infantry by sending 120mm rounds into a Russian-held treeline.
@flashsolex@CapHornier_ Je corrige: cette loi existe déjà, votée en 2022 et qui dit que les USA ne peuvent pas importer des matières énergétiques de Russie, dont le diesel.
@flashsolex@CapHornier_ Un représentant Républicain, Brian Fitzpatrick, pousse un projet de loi bipartisan pour une loi qui interdit l'achat de pétrole russe. A suivre.
