🇵🇱🇩🇪 Poland and Germany signed a joint declaration that envisages energy independence from Russia and deepening defense cooperation.

🗣️ I have the greatest support for Chancellor's firm approach to a common energy policy. And this is truly a sign of the times, - Tusk said

Journalistengrap: wat is de overeenkomst tussen Sinterklaas, Ufo's en de bronnen van Logtenberg?

One criminal is trying to cover for the other. They both belong behind bars.

“The primary interest of the United States is to do business with Russia.”

Former Commanding General of US Army Europe, Gen. Ben Hodges, joined #EuropeToday.

Niet alleen DigiD: ook geheime info rechtspraak en Justitie in geding bij overname IT-leverancier Er is onrust ontstaan over de aangekondigde overname van IT-dienstverlener Solvinity – leverancier van DigiD – door een Amerikaans bedrijf. Door de systemen van Solvinity lopen uiterst gevoelige data ...

Gevoelige gegevens van het ministerie van Justitie, het Openbaar Ministerie en de rechtspraak vallen binnenkort mogelijk in Amerikaanse handen. Dit komt door de aanstaande overname van de IT-dienstverlener achter DigiD. En dat zou onze digitale veiligheid flink in gevaar kunnen brengen.

Donald Trump orders purported Venezuelan drug boats blown up, yet pardons a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking. Try to make sense of this.

90 countries that helped US after 09/11 never asked for anything in return

WHEN TRUMP CALLED THAT REPORTER A “STUPID PERSON” WHY DIDN’T EVERY SINGLE OTHER REPORTER THERE TELL HIM TO GO FUCK HIMSELF?

First "quiet, piggy", now "you're a stupid person". When is someone going to stand up and put this pathetic bully in his place?

Let me guess, he's going to blame Biden for his comment to the reporter......

I’m tired of everyone being so afraid of this weak azz man that they will not step up and defend each other. Such cowards.

Real men don’t punch down, and they especially don’t punch down at women.

This mashup of Trump’s disgusting attacks on female reporters — the same reporters who consistently show the most courage. And it’s past time for the other reporters in the room to have their backs!

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

I don't think they even thanked us. We never asked for thanks because... NATO.

Sharon Stone says All People who voted for Trump are 'uneducated' Americans

None Dare Call It Treason: The Republican Party Is Compromised Republican Senators understand the grave threat Russia poses. Yet they refuse to uphold their oath of office due to their fealty to Trump.

Republican Senators understand the grave threat Russia poses yet they refuse to uphold their oath of office due to their fealty to Trump. The Republican Party is compromised and is now a functional asset of the Russian Federation." - Stuart Stevens, Chief GOP Strategist

Aided and abetted by the complicity and silence of legacy media. This would include ‘so-called’ journalists and investigative reporters who withhold information of national importance just to provide sensationalism to sell books.

Trump and his despicable friends will not only profit from this, but at the same time they will also finance Putin's war... in doing so they are committing treason against their allies.

De nieuwe economie kan (letterlijk) in de stront zakken In de rubriek De broeikas schrijft klimaatverslaggever Jeroen Kraan wekelijks over wat hem opvalt. Deze week: de lekkende mestzak en de strijd tussen de nieuwe en oude economie in Nederland.

De nieuwe economie wordt gegijzeld door de oude. Grootschalige veeteelt, fossiele industrie, eindeloze distributiecentra: Mest, olie en dozen. Vervuiling, klimaatverandering en ruimteverspilling. Klaar nu! Wegwezen met die zooi! Opdoeken! Collectief belang nu voor privaat.

Kabinet schoof maakt het lokale bestuurders extra moeilijk met halfhartige reacties, zegt Sharon in Buitenhof. Schoof en Keijzer moeten zich luid en duidelijk, zonder omhaal van woorden, achter lokale bestuurders scharen die de wet uitvoeren, en tégen Wilders die oproept de wet te overtreden.

Dijksma verwacht van Schoof en de ministers van BiZa en Asiel&Migratie onomwonden een uitspraak dat men moet stoppen met het bedreigen en intimideren van lokale politici. Het geluid moet glashelder zijn en doir iedereen gedeeld.

Zo is het! En de provocaties van Wilders/Keijzer afwijzen. #Buitenhof

Door zo te handelen financieren zij, puur uit eigenbelang, de oorlog van Putin. Zo wordt Amerika óók onze vijand. Het wordt hoog tijd dat Europa echt wakker wordt en het "Calimero" gedrag van zich afschud.

❗️🇵🇱Polish President Nawrocki refused to meet with 🇭🇺Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán on December 3 after his visit to 🇷🇺Putin.

And all of this in plain daylight. It's hard to imagine the average, honest American accepting all of this.

Trump's friends are thus financing Putin's war against Ukraine and...Europe. They are nothing but traitors to the free world.

Putin is a cunning criminal, he knows how to manipulate Trump like no other. He's able to play his NATO allies off against each other and thus upend the global order.

Ik heb potjes Risk gespeeld met meer respect voor internationale diplomatie.

Europa is als wisselgeld weggegeven door Trump.

Goed werk. Ik heb sterk de indruk gekregen dat het NRC met het excuus is gekomen nadat ze wisten dat jullie artikel zou worden gepubliceerd. Kudos !
