France is seeking to quadruple its stockpile of kamikaze drones and drastically expand missile arsenals by the end of the decade, Politico reported on Friday. A draft military planning law said that the preparations were being done to get ready for a “war economy.” A 64-page-long document set to be presented by the government next week stated that French rulers intend to focus on expanding their munitions arsenals rather than the armed forces themselves. The ruling class has been learning, taking its lessons from those of the Ukraine and Middle East conflicts, which have been depleting Western arms stocks at an alarming rate. Russia: France Uses Private Companies to “Assist” Foreign Rulers In Armed Conflict The stocks of loitering munitions such as kamikaze drones are set to grow by 400%, Safran-made AASM Hammer guided bombs by 240%, and Aster and Mica missiles by 30% by 2030, Politico reported. -RT The push toward stockpiling munitions is said to be one shared with other European nations as a way to remove reliability on the United States.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the success of the historic Artemis II mission currently underway would not be possible “if it wasn’t for President Trump,” as the Orion spacecraft is set to pass beyond the far side of the Moon in the next 24 hours. Isaacman detailed the mission’s progress, how technology has assisted in the success of Artemis II so far, and the role that President Donald Trump has played in the Artemis program during an interview with Fox News Digital. “I want to be incredibly clear, we would not be at this moment right now with Artemis II if it wasn’t for President Trump,” Isaacman told Fox. “And we certainly would not have an achievable path now to get back to the lunar surface and build that enduring presence.””On my first day on the job during President Trump’s second term, he gave us a national space policy, a mandate to go to the moon with frequency, build the moon base, and do the other things like nuclear power and propulsion so someday American astronauts can plant the stars and stripes on Mars,” Isaacman added.ARTEMIS II ASTRONAUTS FACE TOILET TROUBLE AS THEY HEAD TOWARD THE MOON The Artemis II mission successfully…

You hear a bump in the night. Your thoughts are racing and you are groggy. What’s going on? Is it a family member? An intruder? Where is your gun and did you forget to lock the door? Are you prepared to fight? These are the last things we want to be thinking about in this scenario, under extreme stress.
