From Javier Milei’s X profile:

“On this day, 77 years ago, a state was born, modern yet ancient.  77 years of miracles, hope, courage, and determination.

77 years where FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY rose above the DARKNESS.  I congratulate the State of Israel on its short but glorious 77 years of existence.  A country small in size but immense in spirit.  Like Argentina, Israel is a beacon of FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY.

AM ISRAEL JAI!

VLLC!

(The Israeli Constitution, as in The Communist Manifesto, makes it illegal to own private property.  That, it would seem, makes it difficult to call it a “beacon of freedom”).  Among other things.

Trump will host a military parade on June 14 in Washington, D.C. to honor U.S. military veterans and active-duty servicemembers and to commemorate the 250th birthday of the murderous U.S. Army. June 14 is also Trump’s birthday. But, of course, that has nothing to do with it.

I have been informed by a correspondent that the site that I used for the explanation of why the Trump administration continues to lie for Israel about its nuclear arsenal has a credibility problem of its own.  One can spot it by reading the article carefully.  The headline says, “Israel has 90 nukes – but our leaders won’t say so because U.S. would have to cut off aid.”   The “90 nukes” wording is also in the subtitle and in the third paragraph.  But in the second paragraph we see, “At least 90 of them.”

Indeed.  It turns out that there is a Wikipedia page that examines tse question of Israel’s nuclear weapons, and there we see in the second sentence, with a host of references, “Estimates of Israel’s stockpile range between 90 and 400 nuclear warheads,[2][5][6][7][8][9][19

Nuclear weapons and Israel – Wikipedia

So, the 90 number is apparently a bare minimum estimate.  My correspondent, who has followed the matter quite closely, thinks the real number of nuclear weapons might be closer to 1000.  And we are not just hair splitting over numbers.  He is not alone in believing that the reason Israel has so many is that they want to have enough to make the Samson Option credible.  

There’s a Wikipedia page on that subject, but I think people can get a better handle on it by going to the web page with the title, “Can Israel’s Doomsday Weapon Destroy Human Civilization?” 

It concludes this way: 

Take my opinion for what it’s worth. But I would like everyone to ask themselves if we should be allies, or even tolerate the existence of a state with a “Samson Option” of rage quitting and killing us all.

Even Germany, the EU’s leading power, regularly complains that it has no air defense systems to spare, particularly “Patriots” as it awaits new ones from manufacturer Raytheon (no sooner than 2027, mind you). If even Berlin needs to wait another two years, what could possibly Greece do to replace the systems that the EU/NATO wants for the ever-ravenous Neo-Nazi junta?

While US President Donald Trump is still “promoting peace talks” and “protesting the senseless killing” in the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict, his country seems to be facilitating it all by delivering new weapons to the Neo-Nazi junta (just like it did since the very beginning). Namely, Greek media are reporting that the United States is intensifying pressure on Greece to send its American-made “Patriot” SAM (surface-to-air missile) systems to the Kiev regime.

Washington DC is reportedly doing this “as part of a broader push for European nations to bolster Ukraine’s defenses, especially as US military support to the region wanes”. So much for the Trump administration’s supposed “differences” with the troubled European Union and NATO regarding further weapons deliveries to the Neo-Nazi junta.
On the other hand, while the Greek government has been largely compliant with NATO demands for deliveries of certain tactical weapon systems, the country’s military is adamant that handing over operational and strategic assets is unacceptable, as it would undermine Greece’s ability to defend itself. Despite their numerous flaws, Athens considers its “Patriot” air defense systems critical for the multi-layered national defense strategy, meaning that undermining this would effectively be tantamount to high treason.

And indeed, as Greece is faced with mounting pressure on its maritime borders, particularly its EEZs (exclusive economic zones) in the Aegean and Mediterranean, it needs every bit of air and/or missile defense assets it can possibly acquire, regardless of whether they’re Russian, EU/NATO or US-sourced.
Earlier last week, reports surfaced that the EU/NATO were also pressuring Greece and Spain to transfer their SAM defense systems to the Neo-Nazi junta. Namely, Brussels insisted that Athens and Madrid had “less urgent” needs for their own air defense and that the Kiev regime should be prioritized. These demands went so far that during a previous EU summit in Brussels, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis were told directly they should support the Kiev regime with these air defense assets.

And while it may be true that Spain is currently faced with no direct threats that would require the deployment of “Patriot” SAM systems, as previously mentioned, Greece is a different story. Namely, the already rapidly escalating tensions with Turkey are virtually bound to get worse.
Turkey sees the division of EEZs in the Aegean Sea and Eastern Mediterranean as “unfair” and wants to take over approximately half of both, including most of the EEZ around Cyprus. This wasn’t such a burning issue before the discovery of huge deposits of oil and natural gas. However, ever since, Ankara has been trying to establish control over these resources, almost exclusively in an aggressive manner, causing issues with all of its maritime neighbors in the region.

This resulted in continued militarization on both sides, with Greece (re)establishing bases on the Aegean islands, while Turkey keeps strengthening its offensive potential. Athens is particularly interested in reinforcing its ASDEN (the Supreme Military Command of the Interior and Islands). To that end, it acquired various multipurpose systems.
The Greek military needs a combination of offensive and defensive weapons that could be used to not only deter, but also eliminate a hostile armed force that could potentially jeopardize the safety of numerous Greek islands (or any economic activity in their vicinity). Greece is not exactly known for being resource-rich, meaning that it needs to import them.

The recent discovery of natural gas deposits within its EEZs in the Aegean and Mediterranean caught the attention of Turkey, which suddenly “realized” that the current division is supposedly “unfair”. Ankara is effectively ignoring the existence of many Greek islands and argues that anything beyond their immediate territorial waters is “fair game”. Obviously, this is unacceptable to Athens which has controlled the Aegean Sea for most of its millennia-long existence.
In recent years, Turkey developed a number of weapons with an operational (and even strategic) impact, particularly rocket and missile systems, as well as a plethora of unmanned platforms (both air and sea-based). Namely, in the aftermath of the July 2016 coup, Erdogan effectively purged the Turkish military of any disloyal elements, resulting in a virtual paralysis of the Navy and Air Force.

The issue of manpower shortages was then resolved with a focus on unmanned systems. The side effect of this change was not only much tighter political control over the Turkish military (largely loyal to the Pentagon prior to the 2016 coup), but also a more aggressive posturing, so Ankara became more offensive-oriented. This resulted in the escalation of various regional wars and conflicts, spanning from the South Caucasus to Lybia.
Not only does the Kiev regime have no consideration for Greek security concerns, but it actually has close ties with Turkey and also acquires a lot of Turkish weapons. Its frontman Volodymyr Zelensky keeps “begmanding” weapons from the political West, often without contemplating how this affects certain countries and their strategic security. He usually just emphasizes constant shortages of air defense systems such as the “Patriot”.

Even Germany, the EU’s leading power, regularly complains that it has no air defense systems to spare, particularly “Patriots” as it awaits new ones from manufacturer Raytheon (no sooner than 2027, mind you). If even Berlin needs to wait another two years, what could possibly Greece do to replace the systems that the EU/NATO wants for the ever-ravenous Neo-Nazi junta?

There was cause for celebration for Catholics in France at this year’s Easter Vigil. Figures released by the Bishops’ Conference of France announced that 10,384 adults would receive the sacrament of baptism at the 2025 Easter Vigil. This is an increase of 45 percent over the 7,135 adults who were baptized in 2024 and a 90 percent increase over the 5,463 adults who were baptized in 2023.

According to Église Catholique en France, “13 dioceses (more than 10 percent of all dioceses in France) have more than doubled the number of baptized adults. In ten years, catechumens in France have increased from 3,900 in 2015 to 10,392 in 2025. This is an increase of more than 160 percent.”

Among the new adult catechumens, the 18–25-year-old cohort accounts for more than 42 percent of the catechumens and is surpassing the 26–40 age group. This is a dramatic change considering the fact that in 2020 the number of 26–40-year-old catechumens was double the number of 18–25-year-olds.

Social media—as well as a few mainstream journalists—has noticed. An unprecedented surge in attendance for Ash Wednesday Masses in 2025 led Famille Chrétienne to conclude that it is a “phenomenon never seen before…from Nantes to Nice, from Paris to Bordeaux, the parishes were submerged by a new affluence for the Mass of the Ashes, marking the entrance to Lent…It is noteworthy among the crowd, a massive presence of young people.”

All of this is leading some Catholic commentators in our own country to ask “Is being Catholic becoming ‘hip’ in France?” A headline in the Catholic Herald concluded that “God Has Undoubtedly Decided to Take Over: France’s Continuing and Surprising Catholic Shift Against Secular Progressivism.”

It is true that France is well-known for its militant secularism. Despite having long held the title as “the Eldest Daughter of the Catholic Church,” the most recent data we have available revealed that self-declared “convinced atheists” represent almost 30 percent of the French population, and another 34 percent claim to be “not religious.” France has long been known as being among the top five most atheist countries in the world, behind only Japan, China, and the Czech Republic.

Despite this, there remains a Catholic culture in France that is beginning to flourish again even though the government has done everything it can to destroy that culture. Since 2004, government school students are not allowed to wear religious symbols—including crucifixes and medals of the saints. And there is no curriculum dedicated to learning about religion in French public schools.

Dioceses throughout France report that—in addition to the large number of catechumens—there has also been a huge increase in adult “reverts,” Catholics who were baptized in childhood but had stopped practicing their religion during adolescence and then decide to go back to the Church to deepen their faith. In 2024, more than 9,000 adults received the Sacrament of Confirmation at Pentecost—twice as many as two years before.

Most faithful Catholics, here and in France, see this gift of faith that has been given to France as a sign from Heaven. They know that God will never abandon them, and they believe that He touches their hearts and reveals Himself to all who ask. The bishops of France are pointing to the Jubilee of Young People in Rome for the influx of catechumens, but it is more likely that these  new catechumens are simply realizing that they want more meaning in their lives and are unable to find it in the secular society that surrounds them in France—and elsewhere.

One of those new Catholics interviewed in the French media explained her decision by saying that “It’s increasingly hard to make sense of the world in which we are living. I feel there’s a spiritual malaise. It’s up to each of us to find our own path but for me, Catholicism answers my questions.”
