Sardoche estimated that Lisnard's breakthrough reminded him of Macron's, while considering their paths to be very different. He recalled that Macron had been a minister under François Hollande, in the Socialist Party, an investment banker at Rothschild, and, according to him, supported by the Parisian politico-technocratic circles. He also noted that Macron had never been elected locally before arriving at the Élysée. In contrast, Sardoche indicated that Lisnard had never been a minister, that he had been re-elected mayor of Cannes with more than 80% of the votes in the first round, and that he had been locally established for 25 years. He also mentioned his family background as merchants, his activities as a vendor and small entrepreneur, the odd jobs he would have done to finance his studies, as well as his role as president of the mayors of France. Sardoche added that it was difficult to continue believing in a politician in 2026. He pointed out that some criticized Lisnard for a lack of charisma and a posture that was not in line with that of a great politician, but he believed that his profile was the best possible because voters might see him as a Frenchman attached to his country and foreign to the posturing games that he deemed hypocritical. #Politique #Élections2026 #Leadership (translated)

Joan Larroumec presented the tensions between France and Germany as a result of increasing competition, particularly in the defense industry. He indicated that Berlin planned military spending of €108 billion in 2026, compared to €57 billion for Paris, and nearly €140 billion in 2027. According to him, Germany was seeking to use these expenditures as a lever for economic transformation, while its historical industrial model was weakened. Larroumec notably cited the decline in German exports to China, which he claimed fell from €106 billion in 2022 to €81 billion in 2025, as well as a reduction of 142,400 jobs in the German automotive industry since 2019. He also wrote that German defense start-ups had received $3.5 billion in investments in 2026, compared to $375 million in France, and that Berlin had concluded a framework agreement with Helsing and Stark that could reach €4.3 billion. He estimated that this strategy heightened rivalries between the two countries and jeopardized their joint programs. He reported that Paris and Berlin acknowledged on June 8 that the SCAF could not be successfully executed, and that the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces announced Germany's abandonment of the MGCS tank program. He also mentioned competition in drones, artificial intelligence, and space, where, according to him, Germany was seeking to reduce France's position. Finally, Larroumec argued that France's financial difficulties limited its ability to invest in defense and risked weakening its industry. He stated that French and German interests were becoming increasingly misaligned and that this situation could lead to chaotic episodes in Europe. #France #Allemagne #Défense (translated)

It is finished in its initial form. But a turnaround and a catch-up operation a few hours later. Just before midnight, a statement from General Fabien Mandon provides some clarifications. This time, it is no longer a German departure from the project that is mentioned, but a "shift" in the program, with service commencement "delayed towards the end of the 2040s." According to the Chief of Staff, the MGCS "is continued and retains a major interest refocused on the development of enhanced connectivity, collaborative combat, automation, and robotization." So, is the MGCS dead? "It is finished in its initial form," states Paul Maurice, Secretary General of the Franco-German Relations Study Committee at Ifri (French Institute of International Relations). #MGCS #Défense #FrancoAllemand (translated)

I do my own polling and I draw my own conclusions." #IntelligenceArtificielle #SuperIntelligence #DonaldTrump (translated)
