If Trump and Musk were trying to weaken the United States and sell it to its foreign enemies, how would they act any differently from the way they're acting now?

Not at all, you say? Maybe you should wonder why that is.

Scholz is witholding Taurus only because A. He does not have any operational nor in stock. B. He is somehow in Putins pocket. Both worth some serious consideration.

Rumors of MTG in a prominent cabinet posting should be another red flag for Europe. Come January 20th, we're on our own. We must want to be.

Its a breather here. Winder if it sticks. X is extremely toxic andcgetting more radical by the day.

Het is zeker prettiger dan het X hellevuur, maar erg spannend vind ik Bluesky noch niet.

To do tomorrow: cancel my decades subscription to Amnesty and the -once-top quality NL newspaper, nrc. WWF and Zoo subscriptions get a boost.

@laurensdassen.bsky.social Volt lid hier. Geef veel les op de Westelijke Balkan. Heb praktische laagdrempelige voorstellen om EU integratie te kickstarten. We dreigen de bevolking daar te verliezen mentaal. Zie posts.

1/7 finally. Economic impact on EU of integrating Western Balkans (ALL of them) is prly less than 3 pct. Your mother or brother will not care or notice.
October 18, 2023 at 6:59 AM
1/6 Yes but what about Kosovo, Serbia. Just enter them into EU. Ignore the conflict. Althea and NATO can remain to keep a semblance of peace. Can you just ignore it? Yes off course. 90pct of EU population doesn't care or notice. Let the regional develooment loose

1/5 and why the hell has the European Commission not yet formed a working group of wizz kids and veteran diplomats to create a Train app where citizens can plan, pay, ticket integrated international travel? Invest a billion, get untold rewards. #EU #WesternBalkans

1/4 Schengen. Not later. Now. You take away a potential source of corruption, yes and you know it! Makes mobility a helluva lot easier.

1/3 Expand EU programs as Horizon and especially Erasmus. Increase the budget for interailcards from the European Commission tenfold to actively include youth from the Western Balkans
October 18, 2023 at 6:46 AM
1/2 Demand of telecom providers that all of the Western Balkan operate under EU regulations of mobile roaming. This is really Switch on/off work and has an instant positive effect for everybody's wallet. Doesnt matter if stakeholders of the providers agree or not. #WesternBalkans

1/1 So whats going wrong with Western Balkan integration? Instead of economic and social integration bottom up, we focus too much on the acquis. People need to feel positive effects. So: give a closeby date for entry into EU. Say January 2025.

Just back from lecture at Ohrid Lake. Future CSDP. Convinced security and geopolitics overrides petty concern about Western Balkans entry into EU and NATO.
