Olympics are more than just winning. She almost lost her life in a car crash on her way to the Olympics four years ago.

Criticism is growing for Mark Rutte. Less faith for "old" playbook. You can't shame people to believe that trust is there, no matter how many times you throw European leaders under the buss. We need to operate on facts, rather than what we wish situation to be.

1930s, a radical conservative faction almost pushed Finland into full authoritarianism.
As we are watching current U.S. How we successfully reversed course. Democracy can be fragile, but people can dedice their own faith as a nation.

U.S. not being reliable ally, how do we build new alliances and deterrent. I agree, we should make Europe stronger, but I would look even further. It's time to start talking about countries like Australia, Republic of Korea, Japan being part of our alliance.
