As it always was: a poor strategy, that all too easily led to an amoral failure to choose sides.

It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.
Not one word about clearing strait of Hormuz from sea mines with European mine hunters (Europe has over 90, USA just 4). Not one word on being a backstop for insurance companies to get ships sailing. Not one word to deploy naval escorts.
Tired and out of ideas
Ik vind dat we zulke titels in het frans moeten schrijven. Zoals vroeger. Voor woke.
"Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock and bring health and economic benefits while insulating the country against future costs, the government’s climate advisers have forecast."

De angst voor uiterst rechts bij de EVP begint echt vreemde vormen aan te nemen. Waarom zou je zo extreem doorslaan en een vrij stevig compromis afschieten? Welke christendemocratische kiezers zijn er voor uitzichtloze kinderdetentie? Denk eens aan wat mensen willen en wat minder aan profilering.

On 10 March 2025, the US announced that 83 percent of USAID's programs would be cancelled, involving over 5,000 contracts. The UK, Germany, France, Belgium and others quickly and sharply cut their aid budgets too. One year on, what are the effects?
Mijn zoon heet Merlijn.
Dacht spontaan: Welkom in de familie!

En omdat werken gewoon niet leuk is, als ze koers kunnen kijken, toch?
Dan zou ik zelfs kijken.
I have a magical device in my driveway that protects me from oil price shocks, emasculates petrothugs, slows the rising seas, and powers my car. During times like these, worth considering!
Yet another reason to do a Christopher Hitchens episode though.
Cor, sure would feel great right now if we were self-sufficient in renewable energy, and laughing at all the rubes reliant on global oil supplies. We'd have a bit of a swagger in our step today.
Doe wat meer liberaal, hadden ze gezegd.
It's extremely clear that the US doesn't really have an objective here except to inflict maximum pain, and attacking water supply is going to end catastrophically for the entire region. It's not just a war crime, it's approaching a crime against humanity.

Heel Vlaanderen nu: “Huh, sloten?”
Pah!
Luister Ronnie gaat naar huis en als je dan niet huilt, ben je te jong óf te oud om het leven te begrijpen.
Ik zal het lezen of een t-shirt kopen en doen alsof ik fan ben.

Return “arrangements” basically mean: Whatever!
Official agenda of the European Parliament: not a war, a ‘military operation’.
Putinism is really winning the military operation of words.

And go full Verdi in Ialian:
‘Salve, o Trumpo, di Glamis sire!”
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.
