France contemplates the end of the Fifth Republic

"France, to borrow the words of veteran political observer Alain Duhamel, “has gone beyond a political crisis”.
It is now flirting with regime change.
It is now in disarray, and Emmanuel Macron stands at the centre of a drama of his own making that some say could yet end the Fifth Republic.
Even by
France’s theatrical standards, it has been an extraordinary week.
On Friday night, President Macron stunned Paris by re-appointing Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister - just four days after he had resigned and his first government collapsed in record time.
The 39-year-old self-styled “monk-soldier” now faces the Herculean task of drafting an austerity budget and forming a cabinet acceptable to a parliament that wants him gone. His first government lasted 27 days; his second may not last a week.
Opposition leaders on the Right called the re-appointment a “bad joke”. The Left said they would topple the government unless it tears up pension reforms that Mr Macron pinned his legacy on.
Thierry Beaudet, president of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council - and once tipped for prime minister himself - said what millions of
French people are thinking.
This situation is totally incomprehensible,” he told Franceinfo. “From the point of view of our fellow citizens, it reinforces the idea that the political class lives in a world of its own.”
Across the country, that phrase - “a world of its own” - now sums up the mood. A weary nation, facing budget cuts, rising debt and political paralysis, is watching the Paris elite chase its own tail.
Beyond the theatre lies a deeper structural breakdown.
Since Mr Macron lost his absolute majority in 2022,
France has entered what historian Nicolas Roussellier calls “an age of tripolarisation”.
Three irreconcilable blocs - a
social and environmentalist left, a pro-European liberal centre, and a sovereigntist right - now dominate the National Assembly. None can command a majority.
As a result, asserted Mr Duhamel, “France has now moved beyond a political crisis. I think it’s a regime crisis”."

Kasianov says he’s a whistleblower in Fire Point case, asks NABU for protection

"Ukrainian border guard officer and aerial reconnaissance specialist Yurii Kasianov claims President Volodymyr Zelensky personally ordered the disbanding of his unit because he was a key witness in a corruption case involving drone manufacturer Fire Point.
Kasianov alleged that the decision came directly from the president and was retribution for his testimony in an investigation by Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau.
The decision to liquidate our unit was made by President Volodymyr Zelensky because I’m a whistleblower in the Fire Point case and a key witness,” he wrote. “On Oct. 2, I gave testimony to NABU detectives. On the morning of Oct. 3, the unit’s liquidation was announced.
Kasianov has formally requested witness protection for himself and his family under NABU’s protection program.
Kasianov also said that over the past year, Fire Point — a private company contracted by the state — had made headlines for allegedly developing a missile called the Flamingo.
He claimed he had contacted the company with concerns that its drone was being purchased by the government at three times the real market price.
He also questioned the firm’s announcement that it had developed a “supposed cruise missile” in just nine months.
That’s not possible,” he said. “Even the fastest development timelines — six years for the French cruise missile, eight for the American Tomahawk, 12 for the Russian Kalibr — are far longer.

Trump says he will urge Putin to end the war or face the US sending Tomahawks to Ukraine

"U.S. President Donald Trump said that he is prepared to send long-range Tomahawk missiles
to
Ukraine but said he plans to first discuss the matter with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
I might have to speak to Russia, to be honest, about the Tomahawks,” Trump told reporters. “Do they want to have Tomahawks going in their direction? I don’t think so.”
When asked if he meant he would speak with Putin before supplying the missiles, Trump said that possibility depends on Moscow’s willingness to end the war.
“Maybe I’ll talk to him. I might say, look, if the war is not settled, I’ll send them the Tomahawks,” he said, calling the weapon “a very offensive weapon.KI
