France to invest $12 billion in new aircraft carrier
France will invest $12 billion in a new aircraft carrier, French President Emmanuel Macron announced Sunday. “In an age of predators, we must be strong in order to be feared, and especially strong at sea,” Macron said. The new-generation, 78,000-ton, nuclear-powered carrier is projected to be Europe’s largest warship and will replace the current Charles de Gaulle carrier by 2038. Germany is set to spend twice as much as France on defense by 2029, so France is struggling to remain relevant in an ongoing power struggle over European military leadership. The Bible reveals that France’s military power will become subordinated to Germany.
