In a letter sent to regional health agencies, revealed by Le Canard Enchaîné, the Ministry of Health asked hospitals to prepare for a "major (military) engagement" by March 2026.
The newspaper warned that between 10,000 and 50,000 men could be expected in hospitals over a period of 10 to 180 days.
"In the current international context, it is necessary to anticipate the modalities of health support in situations of high-intensity conflict," the Ministry of Health reportedly wrote in the document. Health Minister Catherine Vautrin did not deny the details outlined in the letter or its existence in an interview with French broadcaster BFMTV. She told the broadcaster:
"It's part of preparation, like strategic stockpiles, like epidemics. I wasn't in office at the time of Covid-19, remember, there were no words harsh enough to describe the country's lack of preparedness. It is perfectly normal for the country to anticipate crises and the consequences of what is happening. This is part of the responsibility of central government."The letter, dated 18 July, reportedly said France could form the rear base for a large-scale conflict in coming months. It added that the Ministry of Health is considering setting up medical centres near ports or airports so that soldiers can be "redirected" to their home countries.
The document comes just months after France outlined plans to send a 20-page 'survival manual' to every household.
The manual reportedly laid out instructions on preparation for an "imminent threat", including a natural disaster, health crisis or armed conflict. The French government said at the time it is not focussed on armed conflict.
It also suggests items people should have as part of a "survival kit", including at least six litres of bottled water, 10 cans of food, a torch, batteries, and medical supplies including saline solution, compresses and paracetamol.
One section of the manual recommended closing doors in the event of a nuclear accident.
Comment: It has a footnote: 'You may be radiated beyond recognition, but you won't have in-house all the pesky, glow-in-the-dark debris.'
In July, President Emmanuel Macron announced a plan to push forward France's defence spending, pledging to double the military budget by 2027.
A military budget that stood at 32 billion euros ($37.40 billion) in 2017 will rise to 64 billion euros by 2027, with an additional 3.5 billion euros allocated for next year and another 3 billion euros in 2027.

Here - a history lesson from the "ai"
~
Oh - and lets not forget Hidegard:
~
If I was an employee at the hospitals I would ignore this bullshit.
And now - lets study up on Dumnorix Oh - that must be the kin of Macron.....
~
Now the next one: begins with a "c" I reckon that was Napoleon's kin.

Bottom line of all this history - Macron and his partner are a dishonor upon the Gauls and France as it exist today - a travesty of so-called elitist dishonor they are - so again - ignore any suggestions coming out of Paris from Macron - he is a traitor to France.

Brave AI: "The French government collapsed on Monday, September 8, 2025, after Prime Minister François Bayrou lost a vote of no confidence in the National Assembly."
Russia will respond first with the destruction of all foreign troups on Ukrainian and Russian territory. On direct attacks on Russian territory, they would respond with missile barrages to destroy military, communication and transportation hubs of the attacking country.
And in case the pathetic EU/UK losers then resort to nuclear weapons, their countries will be turned into parking lots- literally.
As for survival kits or prepping, most peoole forget that they are unlikely to survive the initial (nuclear) event. If they do, they will be living in a world of horrors.
On a related note, actual military budget numbers are not a definitive factor. The US, for example, was definitely the most expensive army, but far from the "best". Not to mention, a lot of the money is allegedly intended to acquire weapons, but from whom ? Western industrial capacities are marginal, perhaps they can ask the Russians or the Chinese ...
But if we talk about missiles ...
Chinese weapons were recently real-life combat-tested in an armed conflict. More specifically, light Chinese J-10C fighter jets with PL-15 AAMs. And while Pakistan suffered quite a few hits from Indian (half-Russian) Brahmos cruise missiles, the Pakistanis managed to remove all French Rafael fighter jets from the Indian arsenal, all with AAM hits. Allegedly the PL-15 has a range of up to 200km - not quite the 400km of Russian variants, but outranging any Western equivalent signidicantly. Just saying ...
They had put in the years of development and bore the costs, regardless of possible future profits. Because they knew they would need them - and they knew against whom.
Western defense contractors only do something when they can assure profits on a monthly base. Even if their lives depend on it: Democracy is the best societal system money can buy ...
Here in Blighty our great leader, Starmer, is jewish. He freely admits this. His parents are cult members of the apartheid regime in isreal. His is doing their bidding and priming Blighty for yet another of their wars. Many people in Blighty are wondering why it is that our gov't has been sitting on its hands all this time and allowing a genocide in a land where British soldiers once died from bombs planted by jewish extremists. There's the answer.

jewa zigaboo ? I think so.Point well made.
And one wonders - are all the "unelected ones" out of the EU of which there are so many nowadays likewise? Seems likely - zigaboos abounding craving death of innocence I reckon to satiate appetites of evil totally gone out of bounds......they dig their own graves - tis known - tis proven basically.
But meanwhile, innocence starving remains unfed.
I wonder where the first mass riots / civil war breaks out. Or if they manage to goad their populations into marching eastwards ...
