Trump wilt dat NAVO landen 5% uitgeven aan defensie, wss genoeg nemend met 3%, maar hogere defensie-uitgaven koppelen aan preferentiële handelsovereenkomsten.

Iran's geopolitical nightmare: In mere months, proxies Hamas & Hezbollah are quashed, it’s about to loose its vassal state Syria, and to top it off, its big ally Russia is getting booted from the region. Iran is isolated and its ME influence crumbling.
Syria the last 24 hours.
