Terecht punt. Los van alle andere redenen die je kan bedenken, hebben we een volwaardig kabinet nodig zonder 'zetbaas' als premier. Dit kabinet moet vallen. En een te overwegen noviteit: een nieuwe formatie, zonder nieuwe verkiezingen.

Trump on NATO: "If the United States was in trouble and we called them. We said, 'We got a problem, France.' Do you think they're gonna come and protect us? Hmm. They're supposed to. I'm not so sure." (Literally the only time NATO Article 5 was invoked was after 9/11 on behalf of the US.)

The US spends much more on healthcare per person than any other G7 nation: $12,000 in 2021. This is more than 50% higher than Germany, the next-highest spender. Japan and Italy spend just $4,700 and $4,400 per person at the lowest end — slightly over one-third of US spending.

Mis logica. Klopt dat coalition of the willing relevanter is voor defensie dan EU, maar EU-leden in coalitie moeten er geld aan kunnen uitgeven. Ruimere begrotingsregels dan niet gek. Verder zijn 'eerst duurzame vrede' en 'we organiseren het in de Navo' wensdenken. www.nporadio1.nl/nieuws/polit...

I think Russian intelligence services cannot believe their good fortune at everything that is happening right now. This is a bonanza across the board. The vicious attack on Ukraine, nutters at the FBI, Gabbard at DNI, shredding of CI capabilities. A monumental tragedy for the West.
