This is how blaming Ukraine starts. Ru will stick to its maximalist demands, which Witkoff has already presented as reasonable and when Ukraine doesn’t roll over, Trump will call Ze foolish and horrible. Utterly predictable.

Gisteren schreef ik dit: hiddebouwmeester.nl/vrede-met-ru... Putinverstehers, vermomd als vredesactivisten, zeggen zich hard te maken voor vrede. Maar in feite doen ze niets anders dan Oekraïne voor de bus gooien met alle gevolgen van dien. Delen wordt gewaardeerd.

Today marks the 211th anniversary of the birth of poet and artist Taras Shevchenko. Born a serf and only freed at almost 30 years of age, he faced arrest and exile for his groundbreaking works of art that have inarguably shaped the modern Ukrainian identity.

En de helft van die 141 miljoen is extra geld dat de NS aan de overheid betaalde om over spoorrails te mogen rijden. Die 70 miljoen extra verlies die de overheid nu ophoest is nog geen 4 euro per Nederlander. De snelwegsubsidie is veel groter. #teamtrein

Tijd voor een Europese inlichtingendienst. Iedere dag laat Trump de Oekraïners een kilometer dieper vallen. Ook Europa is voor haar inlichtingen volledig afhankelijk van de VS. Nu is het tijd om onze eigen veiligheid en onze eigen toekomst ook in eigen handen te nemen. on.ft.com/4bzQpJO

Protesteren op scholen in de VS is vanaf nu verboden! Dit is het begin van een dictatuur. Het zijn de extreem rechtse populistische politici die het hardst schreeuwen om “freedom of speech”, maar alleen als het in hun eigen straatje van pas komt. #GevaarlijkGlijdendeSchaal

De VVD wil de middenklasse ontzien door de uitkeringen en ontwikkelingssamenwerking te laten betalen. Dus de meest kwetsbaren en armsten draaien op voor de kosten en de grootverdieners en vermogenden blijven buiten schot. Wat een rotstreek. rtl.nl/nieuws/polit...

Niemand wordt zo snel vergeten als de verliezers. Dus laten we herinneren dat het Obama's weigering om de veiligheidsgaranties te honoreren, en Bidens weigering om de oorlog te winnen waren die ons hier hebben gebracht. Er is geen Trump zonder Democraten. Er zijn geen helden.
