Er zijn momenten dat de bescherming van democratie en vrijheid echt zwaarder moet wegen dan partijpolitiek (en uitvluchten over geld). Dit was/is zo’n moment.

Wij staan voor een veilig Nederland in een veilig Europa. Onverantwoord dat PVV, BBB en NSC 'nee' zeggen tegen het Europese plan om ons te verdedigen tegen Poetin. Opnieuw verdeeldheid in deze stuurloze coalitie.

Kamer tegen plan Europese Commissie voor grootschalige defensie-investeringen. Reden: eurobonds. Graag uiten Haagse politici solidariteit met Oekraïne. Maar het land van het dubieuze Oekraïne-referendum (2016, tegen) plaatst het eigenbelang opnieuw boven de barre geopolitieke realiteit

"The American antisemitism now merges with the Russian antisemitism and reinforces it. The idea that Zelens'kyi is not a real president, and that his government is therefore not a real government, has been a very specific Russian antisemitic trope from the beginning."

Weer zo’n tendentieus, populistisch stuk van NOS over Duitsland. @chiembalduk.bsky.social waarom citeer je Bild en noem je Merz’ leiderschap “kiezersbedrog”? Hij is gekozen mede vanwege deze houding. Beetje niveau voetbalverslaggeving. Benadruk liever revolutionaire van Duits pleiten voor atoombom!👇🏼

As per usual, an excellent piece by @phillipspobrien.bsky.social with a reminder of a well thought out 10 point action plan for Europe, written a year ago. A year ago, mind you! Positive signs coming from EU leaders.

I just watched Macron's address to France. It was urgent, impassioned and determined—and established Russia as a clear and present danger to Europe America can no longer be relied upon to help with. Europeans are preparing for a possible imminent darkness. My heart breaks that we aren't with them.

@nieuwsuur.nl je moet maar durven als journalisten om de legitimiteit van een democratisch gekozen president ter discussie te stellen omdat de VS of Putin dat willen. Dat moet je als journalist toch niet willen? Lesje rechtstatelijkheid gemist?

Today, the current occupant of the White House and his lap dog @JDVance tried to act tough. Zelenskyy made it clear to the world how weak they are. They have reduced the United States position to be nothing more than Putin or bust. Zelenskyy smartly chose to go home.

Alle media die dit beschrijven als ‘ruzie’, ‘a shouting match’ enz. geven Zelensky verantwoordelijkheid voor de onvoorstelbaar beschamende behandeling die hem ten deel viel. Hier zat een eervol mens tegenover de ergste bullies van het schoolplein. Verschrikkelijk.

President Macron: We all know the situation. The aggressor is Russia. Ukraine are a nation under attack. I think we were all right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago, and to continue to do so.

Hi All, Just sent this out. Its been more than a year since the narratives of Ukraine about to collapse started. These were always overblown and overestimated Russian strength and seemed set on undermining Ukrainian resistance. And yet, they did great damage. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I wonder if anyone can justify and explain this to a Ukrainian victim of Russian’s torture or rape. To the children abducted by Russia. To the people of Ukraine, victim of the cultural genocidal policies, the massive destruction of villages and cities. In which universe does the US live?
