2125: EU foreign office warns Chinese emperor that bullying King Donald IV into ceding Texas, Arizona, Nevada, California and unoccupied Florida to the Estados Unidos de las Americas might backfire, citing the collapse of Russia after nuclear destruction of Moscow in 2075 as a dangerous precedent.

A few experts going right now: "hear me out, Budapest Memorandum, keeping Ukraine out of NATO, telling it to accept loss of Crimea, and pretending the Minsk Accords meant to save Ukraine's sovereignty were all mistakes, but if we now combine all this idiocy into a 28-point plan, it might work!"

If Zelensky accepts this mediation, the Ukrainians will feel much as the Czechs must have felt after Munich. Despite its so-called guarantees, it will leave the country defenceless for the next Russian strike, which will not be long in coming.

The US plan is to ensure peace by making sure Ukraine cannot defend itself when we attack it again.

NOS: VVD zit krap bij kas, overweegt verplichte afdracht voor eigen politici

Niet alleen moreel bijna failliet, door partijbelang wéér boven landsbelang te stellen.

Laat ze maar 4 jaar in de oppositie bivakkeren, vergt wel een enorme sprong van JA21, CU, GLPvdA, D66 en CDA over de eigen schaduw.

Wouter de Winter vraagt zich hardop af hoe een kabinet dat op 86 zetels in de TK steunt, recht zou doen aan de verkiezingsuitslag.

Imagine Roosevelt saying “You should hand over Kent, Wales, Scotland and British India to Adolf, so I will get the Nobel peace prize. This will also deter Japan from attacking us!”

I am pretty sure #POTUS Trump would get the Nobel peace prize if he would arrest Putin and hand him over to #ICC. Added benefit: if this move was well-prepared a more US-friendly successor less inclined to side with China will seize power this evening. #alternativehistory

ZAP: Het is „meer dan bagger” wat onze recensent bij ‘De Oranjezomer’ zag: propaganda van Geert Wilders laten zien en het dan hebben over de „begrijpelijke angst” voor moslims in Nederland.

Socioloog Schinkel (@erasmusmagazine.bsky.social‬) is, beetje boud gezegd, een charlatan. Schinkel sjoemelt met statistiek en historiografie om te kunnen beweren dat Westen "medeschuldig" is aan Russische oorlog tegen Oekraïne.
In recente column zet ik feiten op rij. 👇

If Europe is deemed irrelevant by the US concerning Ukraine, I think the Dutch government should no longer restrain ASML in selling their chipmachines to China.

Zo'n gesprek net als bij Eva over verdeeldheid. Dat moet en kan vaker. Mag nog wel iets langer ook.
