Poland never wants to be invaded by Russia again, so it has built the biggest army of any EU country. But as Putin knows, it has a different vulnerability: its split and distrustful society. That's where he's striking. Me

Europe needs to close the Ukrainian air space and assist Ukraine much more before China steps in. I am sure China want to avoid a direct confrontation with Europe. Europe should not be afraid to confront Russia though.
Foreign Minister of China Wang Yi reportedly told Kaja Kallas that Beijing cannot afford a Russian loss in Ukraine because it fears the USA would then shift its whole focus to Beijing -SCMP

According,Yi categorically rejected accusations of financial or military support for Russia

Manfred Weber, leider Europese christendemocraten: ‘Grote nationale legers en sterke nationalistische partijen: de geschiedenis leert hoe gevaarlijk dit is. Dat is het verhaal dat wij aan burgers moeten voorhouden: wilt u een veilig Europa, dan moeten nationale legers onder een Europese paraplu.’

“Whenever I send out a novel to editors, the list is nearly all female.But it’s not the gender makeup that bothers him, he insists, it’s the prevailing groupthink – the lack of interest in male novelists and the widespread idea that the male voice is problematic”. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

It's baffling why some choose to target vulnerable communities who harm no one. Those who use Christianity to justify hate should reflect on Mark 10:31: "Many who are first will be last, and the last first." Let's strive for a world filled with compassion and understanding instead. #transrights

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Nog één keer voor iedereen achterin:

De oplossing voor een tekort aan betaalbare huurwoningen, is zorgen voor meer huurwoningen. Beleid waarmee je de prijs een beetje drukt en het aanbod halveert is slecht beleid en een middelvinger naar woningzoekenden.
