We willen vrede door kracht, geen oorlog door zwakte.
Wél duurzame vrede, géén slechte deal die meer Russische agressie uitlokt.
Daarvoor moeten we Oekraïne onverminderd steunen en tegelijk robuuste veiligheidsgaranties vormgeven.
Essentieel voor onze gezamenlijke veiligheid!

The FBI arrested more than 1,250 Jan. 6 insurrectionists who falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen. Now the Bureau is about to be headed by a man who agrees with them. Morale will be the first thing to disappear at this law enforcement agency, but not the last.

Sorry folks but I have to keep updating. #Ruble just made another % of a penny drop, is now at 0.0088. That's another 5% in 1 day!
This illustrates 2 things:
- inflation seems to accelerate, free fall?
- perfect time to tighten monetary sanctions(!!)

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.
We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.
