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.

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…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A massive blunder by the Yale Bulldogs’ men’s basketball team in the Ivy League Tournament final wound up costing them a March Madness bid. It was a thrilling second half that ultimately needed extra time to figure out a champion, as Penn’s T.J. Power nailed a game-tying 3-pointer with one second left to force overtime. It gave the Quakers star 40 points and kept their season alive, as the No. 1 seed Bulldogs were trying to hold off their conference foe. But the Quakers were able to come away with the 88-84 upset victory, marking the school’s first NCAA Tournament bid since 2018. It didn’t look to be the case, though, as Power made it 86-81 as he nailed two free throws to give him a total of 44 points with just 17 seconds left in overtime. The Bulldogs were expected to start fouling the Quakers intentionally, as to not allow them the opportunity to break the five-point lead Yale owned. It’s common with at least a three-point lead to foul late in the game, but Yale’s Casey Simmons let Power run down the court and have the chance to tie the game in the…

Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don’t have health insurance,” McGowan said. “So, if we’re going to spend billions of dollars on something, would it not make more sense to save American lives, to spend it here on health care than bombing another country.”TRUMP SEEKS WARSHIPS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES TO HELP SECURE STRAIT OF HORMUZ The exchange came during a panel discussion about the Trump administration’s military action in Iran, including reports that thousands of U.S. Marines were deployed near Kharg Island, a strategic Iranian oil-export hub.McGowan argued the administration had not presented a clear exit strategy and warned the conflict could drain American resources that might otherwise address domestic challenges such as health care and social programs.US COULD TAKE IRAN’S MAIN OIL EXPERT HUB ‘AT A TIME…
