Almost 30 years after France scrapped conscription, French President Emmanuel Macron said he would not go back on that decision, but added: "We need mobilization." "France cannot remain idle," Macron said. He believed French youth had a "thirst for engagement", saying there was a young generation "ready to stand up" for their nation. Under the new military service, men and women, mostly aged 18 and 19, could volunteer to sign up for ten months. They would be paid a minimum of 800 Euros per month and receive food and accommodation, as well as a 75% discount on rail travel. They would be deployed "only on national soil", Macron said. A minority with specific qualifications, for example in engineering or medical skills, could be aged up to 25.

The Kremlin has continued its hybrid warfare' campaign against countries supporting Ukraine. Earlier this year President Macron warned French hospital administrators to be prepared to accept mass casualties in 2026 and Germany is proceeding towards conscription to build Europe's largest army. Through the Re-Arm Europe program, the EU and Canada are by-passing the Trumpf junta and NATO to defend themselves against future Russian aggression. In response, Russia President Vladimir Putin bleated that he is ready to "guarantee in writing" he won't attack Europe.

www.houseofstaunton.com

True story ...

Back in the day, I used to routinely ride along a part of the NY Thruway. When i left my rental abode, and started on the trek, I would put a cassette into the car's player.

One cassette had a curious timing to it.

As it played, a song would eventually appear.

Bad Company - Bad Company (1974)

Shortly after the time that song appeared, there usually was a State Police radar trap on the NY Thruway. Almost like clockwork.
