EURONAVAL’s Post

Joint panel by ARES Group - EU and Chaire Économie de défense - IHEDN on the European defense industrial base at the first edition of "Paris Defence and Strategy Forum" #pdsf2024 Académie de défense de l'École militaire It was the opportunity to share views on industrial policy options in order to ramp up production but also to maintain the competitiveness of the defense industry in the long run. Thanks to Anne FORT (DG DEFIS), Nicolas Grangier (DGA - Direction générale de l'armement), Vincent Thomassier (MBDA), Pierre Éric Pommellet (NAVAL GROUP) and Jean-Pierre Maulny (IRIS - Institut de relations internationales et stratégiques) for the fruitful discussion.

Interesting report & great that it included Star Trek quotes, but probably not, "It unites humanity in a way no one ever thought possible...Poverty, disease, war. They'll all be gone within the next 50 years." So as we contrast this report with a translated 'Space: Exploring Russia, China & NATO Opposing Nations' Final Frontier,' we have to ask ourselves how likely is it our species will survive a real nuclear WWIII (that occurs in ST: First Contact)? Remember history- Eisenhower in 1949 warned that if NATO was still around in ten years, it had failed to produce peace and that in the 1990s a Partnership for Peace plan would have added Russia to NATO, this was scuttled later when Sec. of State Baker's promises to Gorbachev that NATO would not expand East turned out to be false. Both the West & Russia/PRC, etc are to blame for continuing the path toward a space-based and Earth-based nuclear conflict. While our species contends in near-Earth space, it would be ironic if we continue to downplay & underinvest in deep space surveillance until the day we shockingly discover an ecosystem destroying impactor, hard to spot near our sun, is a few days or weeks away from striking Earth.

Best invest in Building Fusion power, space, and maritime propulsion systems and industry, You talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical generation is a promising innovative sustainable and clean energy method. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real, https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

“Alea Iacta Est”: A Precarious Step for Netanyahu and Israel In a move reminiscent of Julius Caesar’s audacious crossing of the Rubicon, Benjamin Netanyahu stands at a pivotal juncture. His potential decision to deploy Israeli forces into Rafa not only defies global consensus but also marks a critical point of no return. Should Netanyahu proceed with such a strategy, I foresee this as the initial phase in a series of events leading to Israel’s undoing. His actions bear the weight of historical consequence; yet, it’s clear—he is no Caesar. In underestimating the gravity of world opinion and the complex dynamics of regional stability, Netanyahu risks isolating Israel on the global stage. This isn’t just about military strategy; it’s about the foresight to understand the broader implications of such decisions. “Alea iacta est,” indeed, but at what cost?
