Marlon and Olly go over the Salon du Bourget, a glitzy airshow to the Northeast of Paris where weapons companies show off their latest deadly hardware. We take a look at some of the new weapons systems, France’s military production goals, as well as Ursula von der Leyen’s justifications for dispensing with democracy as Europe rearms to the tune of nearly a trillion euros.We also take a brief look at the eight Israeli companies at the show, and the French government’s incoherent attitude to the country, its companies, its war and genocide.
