“Onder leiding van oppositiepartijen PRO & SGP is de Kamer zelf aan de slag gegaan, waarbij het helpt dat Pro-Kamerlid Kathmann in de Tweede Kamer als een van de weinigen veel kennis heeft van digitale zaken.”
Het helpt wel, goed geïnformeerde, autonome kamerleden in plaats van coalitie-claqueurs.
French President Emmanuel Macron and Polish premier Donald Tusk told a news conference in Gdansk, northern Poland, that the scope of the boosted ties between the two NATO members could cover elements of nuclear deterrence, military satellites, joint drills, defence industry and shared intelligence.
Great journalism here: "The BBC... found a consistent pattern of spikes just hours, or sometimes minutes, before a social media post or media interview was made public.
Some analysts say it bears the hallmarks of illegal insider trading..."
Understandable, but also: Hamas' cruelty makes me hate the Gazans, the Gaza strip and their criminal leaders,

Péter Magyar’s Tisza party has won a constitutional majority, promising change not only for Hungary but for the…
And that is exactly what he does.
Ouch. Trump is thus Orbán without brains...
Eens dat de NAVO niet dood is, echter moet er, zolang Trump er zit, een plan B zijn wat borgt dat er bescherming biedt indien de VS er de brui aan geeft.
Great post, Nick!
Renewables, with a well integrated renewable storage infrastructure, has been the ‘no brainer strategy ’ for many years.
Of course, Big Oil is using every Big Lie in the book to protect their vested interests, but the War in Iran has just put the final nail in the Big Oil coffin.
Trump's advisors are morons and/or grifters too.

in 2016, toen ik mijn carriere begon als junior geopolitiek analist schreef ik een uitgebreid stukje voor een niet nader te noemen klant hoe Trump in de jaren 70 al in de gaten werd gehouden, en later gerekruteerd was door de KGB. Sommigen lopen 10 jaar achter...
From "I am gonna bomb the whole Iranian civilisation" to "I am gonna do a joint venture with my ayatollah buddies in the Strait of Hormuz" in just 24 hours.

As predicted by everyone, Orbán in his pre-election false flag now blames Ukraine for the fake thing he cooked up and which everyone expected.

Ik denk dat een diplomatieke uitvlucht hier het best is. Net als voor koning Charles van het VK, die ook binnenkort zou gaan, een extra medische check is wellicht voor hem een prima uitweg.
There is only one responsible for his actions at that is the president of the United States. If Trump wouldn't have WANTED to follow Bibi, nothing would have happened. The buck stops with Trump, and with no one else.

A Japanese colour woodblock print with a monkey sitting on a willow branch. It is muted in colour, mostly greys.
A melancholy monkey is skillfully captured in this wonderful colour woodblock print by Japanese artist Ohara Koson.
Born in Kanazawa in 1877, Koson was a master of kachō-ga (bird and flower pictures) but also created numerous works of other animals during a prolific career.
