3x raden naar wie de FIFA Peace Price volgend jaar gaat.

Kaja Kallas: In the last 100 years, Russia has attacked at least 19 countries, some as many as three or four times. None of those countries has ever attacked Russia.

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Civil litigator here with years of experience of business people’s emails to each other in disclosed evidence for disputes. As a general rule: the senior the business person, the less effort they put into emails, and the more effort expected from those reading them. Effectively a mark of rank.

„Putin has promised Trump many things. But the people of Ukraine see no benefit from them. On the contrary, they are forced to freeze in darkness because the consequences of the Russian attacks are devastating. Journalism should focus on facts, not announcements.“ Vassili Golod

straight up Gestapo shit

Niks over de Lelylijn? (in alle verkiezingsprogramma's, behalve die van VVD en PVV werd de aanleg bepleit)

🤷🏽‍♂️

Every time I read about their hypocrisy, it leaves me with the worst feeling, like it’s not even worth pointing out because they don’t actually believe anything they say. Their only value is power.

We call for a deescalation of tensions from both sides, the murderers and the people being murdered

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

Americans may not have much time left to save their democracy. MAGA are already killing people in the streets with impunity - do you think they'd hesitate to cancel or rig the mid-terms?

Ukrainian interceptor drones are doing an extraordinary job preventing countless of Russian Shahed drones from reaching their intended targets, which are primarily of civilian nature - especially energy installations.

Koopwoningen ver-VIJF-voudigd, in NL .. (In dezelfde 3 decennia dat prijzen in Duitsland verdubbelden) #absurd

So it turns out that Trump is a leader with imperalist desires who is very sensitive to market pressures. That's the easier case then. Can we now turn our attention again to dealing with Xi & Putin, leaders with imperialist-hegemonic desires much less sensitive to market forces?

'Klaas Knot waarschijnlijke nieuwe baas Europese Bank'

Bespaartip: hang een dekkend gordijn voor uw voordeur. Het scheelt bij vrijwel iedereen merkbaar.

Het is zeer samenhangend en heeft zeker betekenis. Alles heeft al tien jaar één doel: het vergaren van macht, rijkdom en verering. Hij weet heel goed wat hij doet en maakt uitstekend gebruik van verwarring en onderschatting.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

I think part of the reason everyone is so blown away by this Carney speech is it's so long since we heard an actual grown-up articulate serious thoughts about the world. Empty vessels have been making a lot of noise

i'm going to spend the rest of my life figuring out how a small band of elites decided that acting as the global currency and primary military hegemon was gay and feminine coded

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

No one dares confront Trump

Het is bedoeld als ontmanteling van de VN.

Portraying Trump as a senile grandfather is a serious mistake. He treats us like fools, and we behave like fools.

Het zou heel erg des Trumps zijn om iedereen te laten denken dat er een handelsoorlog komt om dan vervolgens doodleuk Groenland militair over te nemen terwijl EU leiders delibereren over een handelsbazooka — whatever that is. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Regular reminder that you can’t just point at the Constitution and assume it will work if the people whose job it is to uphold it are unwilling to do the work expected of them

It was inevitable.

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

This is a very good point. The November 2025 US National Security Strategy never mentions the Arctic at all. The idea that it's a genuine security priority for the Trump administration is not credible.

Trump dreigt het Amerikaanse leger naar Minneapolis te sturen. Het wachten is op een ongelukkige confrontatie tussen burgers en de ongewenste troepen, waarna er geschoten gaat worden. Zo ging het immers ook in 1770 in Boston, in aanloop naar de Amerikaanse Revolutie.

❗️In 🇺🇦Kyiv, the managements of several shops, amid the severe frosts, have started letting homeless animals inside.

Americans about to lose European allies and pay taxes for it

Look, I would have said it’s impossible to goad the Europeans out of their pro-American stupor. But Trump is giving it his best shot.

The United States needs military access to Greenland, which it already has, to defend the Arctic, which it already does, from Russian and Chinese ships, which aren’t actually there, and this is so important we should destroy the Western alliance to get it, do I have that right?

Als iemand dit toch had kunnen voorspellen

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

Fijn, dankzij deze grafiek begrijp ik eindelijk hoe internet in Iran is uitgeschakeld!

Made me laugh

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Trump: London is a “warzone” Farage: London is “in the grip of a crime wave” Reform’s new mayor candidate Laila Cunningham: people “pity Londoners” because it “is no longer safe” Musk: “Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die” The truth:

Europa is ‘open for business’ fd.nl/opinie/15832...

As of today the full scale invasion (3 day special military operation) officially lasts longer than the entire eastern front of ww2

IJsaanslag in je vriezer betekent meer stroomverbruik. Sowieso is het beter voor de vriezer om af en toe te ontdooien. Vanavond is daar een ideaal moment voor. Het vriest stevig, dus alles kun je buiten 'op temperatuur houden'. somaspas.nl/niet-gecateg...
