Arabic is the second most spoken language in France, and it is a reality that often needs to be reminded.

I want French to continue being a cherished language among Egyptians.

The Mediterranean is united through this multilingualism.

The epicenter of the French language today is in the Congo River basin.

It is no longer on the banks of the Seine, because that is where the largest number of French speakers now live.

How do we deal with a country that produces huge numbers of drones and has chosen to threaten Greece? How do we answer this threat?

The ecosystem of the Greek defense industry has given the answer. And that answer is called ‘Centaur.’

It is one of the most advanced anti-drone systems in the world. It is produced by Greek hands. It is designed by Greek minds. And it equips the Greek armed forces to confront threats against Greece.

Until now, what happened?

The armed forces would ask for weapons, and in 99% of cases we would simply go and buy them off foreign shelves.

What we are doing now is something completely different.

Israel is buying Cyprus.

It's as if those areas are no longer ours.

The character of our island is altered.

Next year — at the end of the year or the beginning of 2028 — we will receive the first F-35, the most advanced aircraft in the history of this planet, which will give entirely new capabilities to our air force.

We will have an air force with 200 ultra-modern fighter jets.

One of the strongest air forces in Europe.

One of the strongest air forces on the planet.

He says he personally took a course in the UAE city of Al Ain, in the Ghiathy area, with Emirati trainers, and that drones, officer training, and even treatment for wounded fighters all flow from the UAE through transit airports in Chad (N'Djamena), Libya (Al-Jufra and Benghazi), and Somalia.

He concluded:

We are all against the Emirati-Zionist project to dismantle Sudan into mini-states.

The system — built on platforms like Palantir's Maven — standardizes massive data flows, maps relationship networks, and flags "threat profiles" in seconds, a job that once took weeks.

The U.S. has pressured Argentina and Chile to halt two Chinese telescope projects in the Andes, worried they could be used to track U.S. satellites or communicate with Chinese ones.

The campaign began under Biden and intensified under Trump, framed as an updated Monroe Doctrine to counter China's growing footprint in Latin America.

Argentine President Javier Milei, backed by a $20 billion U.S. lifeline before last year's midterms, has cooled his earlier warmth toward Beijing, though China remains deeply entwined with Argentina's economy through trade, mining, and infrastructure.

A new U.S.-Argentina trade agreement even includes language limiting Argentina's space cooperation with other countries.

China calls the U.S. position "ridiculous" and accuses Washington of "hegemonism," noting the U.S. operates its own telescopes in the region.

Their leaders are gone, the A team is gone, the B team is gone, and probably the C team is gone.
