* Scientists also researching pills to keep soldiers awake for long periods of time
* Microchips will be designed to release calming substances and improve brains
* Scientists also trying to make implants for headquarters to track soldier location
France is developing bionic soldiers resistant to pain and stress with microchip-enhanced brain power.
The country's ethical committee of the armed forces ministry gave approval in order for France to keep up with countries which are already working on similar projects.
Research is also being done to create pills which will keep soldiers awake for long periods and surgery to improve their hearing.

"France wants bionic soldiers", there's a million joke's contained in that statement.
I like this story about France wanting bionic soldiers, but I’m more interested in the Texas lawsuit. They are getting back by 17 states at the moment after all. Crazy to think of the implications. Crazy to think this could all be linked to China. Crazy to think that the probably the most important story in the World, is being ignored by so many.
*They are getting backed by 17 states after all.
I guess they do not pay attention to movies, MK Ultra etc.
France wants bionic soldiers. It begs the question who is France actually fighting? After all they already have very good relations with Russia and China. Relations with Germany are excellent as well with no sign of a change or any sign that Germany is going to develop any kind of a military threat to them. Germany enjoys good relations with Russia and China as well.
Should relations with Russia, China, or both of them sour the United States under its NATO obligations will drop everything if necessary even if it has to jeopardize its own interests and national security to defend France with everything it has. So, who is France actually fighting?
America perhaps, after all there have been some sharp areas of disagreement between us and France. They have sought to undercut as key times and any contributions they make to any joint operations are proverbial window dressing at best not making any real difference. France and the United Kingdom have a long history of conflict. That seems to have ebbed now but perhaps they wish to renew the fight.
Scott,
While this is off topic from the main post, I do find this interesting. While I wish the editor would address this more, as I would love to get his "takes" on this, it is his blog and he can cover the stories he wishes to.:-) Perhaps American internal electoral politics are beyond the scope of a blog that focuses primarily on military conflicts.
With that said the media has been labeling these actions as "long shot," conspiracy theory," "baseless," "without evidence," and any other thing they can come up with to try and discredit the message without actually addressing the underlying issues. In doing this, they kind of remind me of the Shakespeare line in Hamlet "thou doest protest much." In contrast the few media sources that support the challenges do present evidence and they actually address the underlying legal framework. Based upon the manner of attack by the media, it is my considered opinion that the case for team Biden is not a clear cut as they would have us believe.
Also, if the case was as flimsy as they would have us believe, 17 other states would not have joined on. Btw, the attacks on the TX AG Ken Paxton were pretty pathetic in saying he's "aiming for a pardon" and "grandstanding." I know quite a bit about TX politics and I can assure high ranking officials do many, many things some good and some bad but they do not "grandstand" and they do not undertake something of this magnitude strictly hoping for a "pardon." Furthermore 17 states are on board which pretty much discredits the media narrative.
We will see how this goes. While I still believe that Trump prevailing here is less than a 50% chance, as they say in golf when dealing with short to mid range puts "there's meat on that bone" meaning you are going to have put as opposed to pick the ball up and move to the next hole. It appears the same analogy applies to team Trump's legal challenges. "There's meat on that bone!!"
While team Trump supports the efforts here, they aren't leading it. This is state AGs leading the effort. Again, we will see how this all works out. Is this "the most important story in the world?" I would say emphatically no, as the US simply isn't that important that our internal electoral politics rise to that level. With that said I do think the story is more important than the coverage it is getting.
