France acknowledges the loss of an Indian Rafale, per CNN. According to the images circulating, which appear to be original, it may have been the first of 36 Rafale that entered service in the Indian air force. Next question is whether it was hit by a Chinese PL-15 missile.

The thing about Europe is it doesn't invest enough in defence. But nor does it joke about invading neighbours.
The thing about Europe is its economy is ailing. But Europeans have no concept of "medical bankruptcy".

The thing about Europe: it’s the actual land of the free now

In the Normandy sunshine, the British Normandy Memorial looks radiant. What’s more, the Giants are back for the summer! The 1,475 figures movingly evoke all those killed just on DDay alone. Many thanks to Standing with Giants! Do go if you can. Plus the shop and café reopens on 12 April.

French researcher, going to a conference in Houston, was forbidden entry to US; his work and personal electronics were both confiscated.
Why? Because a “random search” of his cell phone revealed a negative personal opinion on Trump and the Trump administration. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...

After years of alarm over unelected bureaucrats pulling the strings, what better example can you find than this moment the US government is in? DOGE is the thing it claims to fear the most. Elon Musk is the problem he purportedly wants to solve.

A shadowy group of unelected figures reshaping the federal government to their own benefit from the inside? Sounds familiar!

Quite amazing for the American VP to be giving lessons on liberty to Europeans while his boss bans the Associated Press from news briefings because it calls the Gulf of Mexico by its actual name.
