Charles de Gaulle may not be in the Gulf, but France is very much in the fight. French Rafales operating out of the UAE have, in the last three weeks, reportedly downed 60+ Iranian Shahed-136s using MICA missiles - the Dassault Rafale is quietly making a very loud statement about the jet’s bite.

C'est à pleurer de bêtise : on va réparer un pipeline que les Russes ont endommagé pour que les complices de Poutine, Orban et Fico, puissent avoir du pétrole pas cher et continuent à saboter l'Europe de l'intérieur
Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen

Statement with @eucopresident on the Druzhba pipeline Following the renewed Russian strikes on January 27 on the Druzhba pipeline, leading to the interruption of crude oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia, we have engaged in intense discussions with Member States and Ukraine at all levels to restore the flow of oil to Hungary and Slovakia. The EU has offered Ukraine technical support and funding. The Ukrainians have welcomed and accepted this offer. European experts are available immediately. Our priority is to ensure energy security for all European citizens. In this sense, we will continue to work with the concerned parties on alternative routes for the transit of non-Russian crude oil to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

Sean Penn a gagné un troisième oscar hier pour sa prestation dans « one battre after another ». Mais il n’était pas à la cérémonie. A la place, il était dans un train de nuit pour Kyiv. Pas son 1er voyage de soutien: il était en ville le 24 février 2022. Respect.

After a year of threatening to go to war with one NATO ally, a boorish campaign to treat another as a colony of the U.S., and the denigration of all who fought and died for America in Afghanistan, he has the gall to say this.

Taiwan's quest to build and export military drones that contain no Chinese components is paying off: > began with a government drone industry program launched in 2022 > companies like Kunway Technology produce "kamikaze" quadcopter drones (capable of carrying up to 8kg bombs and flying at 140kph) for export, including to Ukraine via Poland > currently deployed on the front lines > costs roughly twice as much as Chinese equivalents but appeals to buyers precisely because they avoid Chinese parts > secure alternative in a market dominated by China, the world's leading drone producer Electronic components from China can introduce serious vulnerabilities, including risks of espionage, data exfiltration to the Chinese government, or even sabotage and remote hijacking in critical or military applications.

L'adjudant-chef Arnaud Frion avait participé au sauvetage et à l'évacuation des forces spéciales américaines tombées dans l'embuscade meurtrière de Tongo Tongo, permettant ainsi de sauver des vies sous le feu ennemi. Vous avez entendu son nom hier pour la première fois. Pourtant, c'est un héros depuis longtemps, comme tant de militaires qui risquent leur vie chaque jour dans l'ombre.

Cité à quatre reprises pour acte de bravoure, il est décoré de la Médaille militaire en 2021. Marié et père d'un enfant, l'adjudant-chef Frion laisse le souvenir d'un chef exemplaire, respecté de ses hommes et estimé de tous.

Israel was so successful in eradicating Hamas from Gaza, a territory Israel has complete control over, that it thinks the same lunacy is going to work against Hezbollah in Lebanon. An Israeli ground invasion is the biggest gift to Hezb. It will breathe new life into it.
Barak Ravid@BarakRavid

🚨🇮🇱🇱🇧Israel is planning massive ground invasion of Lebanon, aiming to seize the entire area south of the Litani River and dismantle Hezbollah's military infrastructure, Israeli and U.S. officials say. My story on @axios axios.com/2026/03/14/isr…

J’ai échangé hier avec le Président Aoun, le Premier ministre Salam et le Président du Parlement Berri. Tout doit être fait pour empêcher que le Liban ne sombre dans le chaos. Le Hezbollah doit arrêter immédiatement sa fuite en avant. Israël doit renoncer à une offensive d’ampleur et cesser ses frappes massives, alors que des centaines de milliers de personnes ont déjà fui les bombardements. L’exécutif libanais a marqué sa disposition à des discussions directes avec Israël. Toutes les composantes du pays doivent y être représentées. Israël doit saisir cette opportunité pour enclencher des discussions et cesser le feu, trouver une solution durable et permettre aux autorités libanaises de mettre en œuvre leurs engagements en faveur de la souveraineté du Liban. La France est prête à faciliter ces discussions en les accueillant à Paris.

A major Gulf defense spending cycle is coming after this war. Regional states will diversify partnerships, opening opportunities for emerging European & Asian defense companies. Trust in US protection is weakening and they know the US will always prioritize Israel’s military edge

Terrible, terrible development. Israel began striking Lebanese state infrastructure. This infrastructure is used not just by Hezbollah, but also by Lebanese civilians, most of whom oppose Hezbollah. Collective punishment is wrong; it also helps Hezbollah, which is more isolated than ever domestically in Lebanon, facing unprecedented popular fury even inside the Shia sect, for dragging Lebanon into war. Collectively punishing the Lebanese may push more of them toward supporting "resistance" in the face of indiscriminate aggression.

חיל האוויר תקף הבוקר את גשר א-זרריה שעל נהר הליטאני בלבנון בטענה ששימש כמעבר עבור מחבלי חיזבאללה. בצה"ל אמרו שחיזבאללה משתמש בגשר זה על מנת להגיע מצפון לדרום המדינה, להיערך ללחימה נגד כוחות צה"ל ולפעול נגד אזרחי מדינת ישראל, זאת תוך סיכון אזרחי לבנון וגרימת הרס רב במרחבים מאוכלסים". בצה"ל אומרים עוד שבעת האחרונה, חיזבאללה מיקם משגרים בסמוך לגשר, וביצע משם שיגורים לעבר מדינת ישראל.

US has further eased Russian sanctions, allowing ALL countries (and not just India) to buy Russian oil already loaded by March 12. Vladimir Putin continues to cash in on President Trump's attack on Iran. The Kremlin can sell stranded oil barrels at much higher prices.
