Oh ChatGPT wat ben je toch handig…

So its now been 4 days since the Witkoff-Ushakov transcript was released. And in that time, Witkoff has been confirmed in office, has been told he is off to Moscow, and has been strongly supported by Trump AND Putin. Add 2+2 together and you get....

Mooie blog van mijn collega Ralph Wagter met praktische handvatten hoe gemeentebesturen met digitale soevereiniteit, SaaS en cloud om kunnen gaan.

Vandaag eens even geluisterd naar een van de meer succesvolle AI “artiesten”: Xania Monet. Eenheidsworst en niet prettig om lang naar te luisteren. (De real life Rotterdamse Naomi Sharon die in 2023 bij het OVO label van Drake tekende, en vandaag ook in de VK, daarentegen wel een aanrader.)

Hi All, Just sent out this free piece. The controversial Bloomberg piece is the perfect example of why we must stop making excuses for Trump. Trump has reconfirmed that Witkoff was doing what he wanted and that Witkoff is soon off to Moscow to represent the USA. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Three things about the Witkoff tapes: 1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia. 2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea. 3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

King: According to Secretary Rubio, this plan is not the administration’s position — it is essentially the Russians’ wish list that is now being presented to the Europeans and to the Ukrainians.

Oh, okay. Rubio heeft gewetensbezwaren? Goed zo.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

President Zelensky: "We are facing one of the most dangerous periods in Ukrainian history, a choice between losing our dignity and freedom and losing US support. We choose dignity. My answer is my oath of office. I did not betray Ukraine in Feb 2022 and we won’t betray in now."

Greene: I will be resigning from office, with my last day being January 5, 2026.

Fully agree with my paper's editorial on Trump. Ukraine needs Europe to stop flattering Trump the conman and take a clear stand for its own survival and values. www.ft.com/content/8ccf...
