France is seeking to quadruple its stockpile of kamikaze drones and drastically expand missile arsenals by the end of the decade, Politico reported on Friday. A draft military planning law said that the preparations were being done to get ready for a “war economy.” A 64-page-long document set to be presented by the government next week stated that French rulers intend to focus on expanding their munitions arsenals rather than the armed forces themselves.

While it is a classic example of a predator hunt in the 1920s and 30s, it also shows how predator management and hunting ethics have changed over the decades. I don’t know how many times the cougar squalled before I finally woke up, but my awakening was certainly hastened by the realization that the cat was practically in bed with me. I sat up and stared vainly into…

In my home town of Hoisington, in central Kansas, the afternoon of March 15, 1960, was hardly a time to make a man want to go fishing. Spring was behind schedule, there was snow on the ground, a raw wind was sweeping the prairies, and now and then cold rain pelted down. March is usually too early for good fishing in our part of the country, but it’s the…

More than one hundred United States-based international law experts have warned that American strikes on Iran may amount to war crimes. These violations come only a few months after the U.S. committed obvious war crimes when it bombed civilian boats in the Caribbean, accusing them of “narco terrorism.” Experts were citing violations of the United Nations Charter, attacks on civilian infrastructure, and alarming rhetoric from senior officials as evidence of the U.S.’s war crimes.

His gray cotton pants and blue jean wampus hung in shreds. He…
