Nedeland, let op uw zaak. Rusland is al lang een oorlog tegen ons begonnen

Russian ballet star, Vladimir Shklyarov 39, who criticised Putin's invasion of Ukraine dies after falling from fifth floor of building in St Petersburg

Worth re-reading. Must read for all those who have , simplistically, been calling for „more diplomacy“. As a diplomat, I regret that concepts like peace and diplomacy are so often being perverted: capitulation is not diplomacy, and to surrender is not synonymous to making peace

"I think there is sort of a faction in the Republican Party that has a strange kind of... sort of homoerotic fascination for Putin." Yeah... I definitely noticed this as well.

Funny how you'll never see pro-Ukrainian protestors disrupting a talk about the conflict in Gaza, despite the fact a huge number of "pro-Palestinian" activists are also vocally pro-Russian.

Chancellor Scholz is still trying to appeal to the reason of a man who has sent about 600,000 of his fellow citizens to death or injury in meat grinder assaults, wasted over 3,500 tanks, turned himself into a subservient vassal of China, released the most dangerous maniacs and

Dit is toch moeilijk te verteren: dit cruiseschip stoot 5,8 ton CO2 per uur uit, hier aan de kade van Rotterdam. Geen walstroom, gewoon 24/7 diesel. En intussen weert de stad een paar meter verder vanaf januari 2025 de kleine ondernemers met een dieselbusje uit de binnenstad. >

‘Free Palestine’ gillen, en in hun zwarte jasjes en capuchonnetjes Israëlische en Joodse voetbalsupporters opjagen en in elkaar trappen. Het is grimmig laf tuig. En waarvan dit te verwachten viel. Ik schaam me voor Amsterdam en dat de gemeente dit (opnieuw) niet wist te

Ukrainian refugees forced to chant “Free Palestine” in Amsterdam. If the Dutch authorities had any backbone which they don’t, this type of intimidation would not be so rampant.

How can you expect europe to stand up for itself against Russia and China if it can’t even stand up against domestic extremism!

Rudyard Kipling's timeless advice from 1911 to those seeking to those advocating making peace with Russia by buying it off with Ukrainian territory: "It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation, To call upon a neighbour and to say:— "We invaded you last night—we are
