Investeren in defensie is - helaas - nodig. Om Poetin te stoppen, Oekraïne te steunen en onafhankelijk te worden van de VS.

Maar géén NAVO-norm, gedicteerd door Trump. Geen wapenhandel met Israël. Niet ons kleine beetje natuur opofferen. En geen megawinsten voor de wapenindustrie.

US Democrats are not compatible with progressives/leftists and the latter have to decide if they want to dismantle the party and build it new or dismantle the duopoly. Neither option is impossible, plenty of countries have done.
