De motivatie van Rusland is niet economisch, niet de NAVO, niet strategisch. Rusland wil de Oekraïense cultuur uitwissen en Oekraïne russificeren. Lees dit 👇

Wat in feite het hele element van die 5 procent onderuithaalt: het punt is dat we niet opgewassen zijn tegen Rusland, omdat 'we te afhankelijk zijn van de VS en hun systemen.' Wat je dan niet moet doen is je nog afhankelijker van ze te maken.

Another piece of evidence: Russian propagandists just say what they’re told. They have no clue what they're talking about. Spoiler: the woman in yellow is our Dutch queen.

We are integrating our defence industries as if Ukraine was in the EU. This is good for Ukraine. And just as good for Europe, as Ukraine is now home to extraordinary innovation. In the end, strength is the ultimate security guarantee. → europa.eu/!XqnRXr

Wat aanvaarden we van Rusland op NAVO-grondgebied en wat niet? Stel dat Rusland een prik geeft aan een Baltisch land en niet grootschalig aanvalt. Reageert de NAVO dan? Volgens dit citaat niet noodzakelijk. Maar dan zijn er de #EU en de Nordics nog. Wij moeten niet zitten wachten op de NAVO, toch?

Sometimes the right strategic thing for Europeans to do is just watch events unfold on their phone while sitting in a nice cafe 1000 miles away from all the chaos

Spent some time this weekend trying to make sense of the attacks on Iran. Not that I trust Iran, but western news is so one-sided. The West almost seems to think Iran should surrender, or at least not retaliate. In what world would any country accept such a loss of face if it had any other option?

The EU Commission's last-minute decision to pull its anti-greenwashing law was slammed by MEPS on Monday. The commission must be "impartial" and "cannot take instructions from political groups," warned liberal MEP Sandro Gozi.

The Iran situation: 👉 1992: Netanyahu has been saying that Iran is ‘on the verge’ of having a nuclear weapon since he was a member of the Israeli parliament. In 1992 he said it would take Iran 3 to 5 years. 🧵1
