De onmenselijke manier waarmee zij over anderen kunnen praten. Dit is dezelfde kille houding die een groep 85 jaar geleden ook had. Nooit normaliseren dit.

Mee eens. Maar zoals met alle populisten, zij vinden zichzelf nooit schuldig, enkel de mensen die op ze reageren.
March 26, 2025 at 8:25 AM
Dat kan, maar dat maakt het alleen maar erger. Deze hele reis oogt alsof het bedoelt is om uit te lokken. Elke reactie kan worden aangegrepen als ‘reden’ voor annexatie. Ik las dat ze nu wel een afgelegen basis gaan bezoeken ipv Nuuk ivm tegendemonstraties.

Eigenlijk hebben we amper iets te verspelen, na de zoveelste bombardement op oa kinderen zonder weerwoord van het kabinet. Als NL weer krediet en geloofwaardigheid wil dat het voor alle mensenrechten en internationale rechten staat, moet het daar ook voor stemmen.

So a no. If being the leader of the free world is not ‘America great again’, then when was the US great? Seeing as you took that role upon yourself 80 years ago. So pre-World War 2?
March 5, 2025 at 3:52 PM
So to be clear, the US is no longer the leader of the free world? Champion of democracy?
March 5, 2025 at 2:55 PM
Basically, America is not great then. Okay.

Those are estimates based off of similar task forces from 2024. With inflation for the period at around 3% I think 50 billion is way off. Although the current administration has not helped to reduce inflation.
March 5, 2025 at 2:44 PM
To not deflect from the topic. Is the US not great enough, wealthy enough, or willing enough to tackle both drugs on the Southern border and enforce sanctions on Russian aggression enablers? Are you not the richest, greatest nation on earth, leader of the free world and champion of democracy?
March 5, 2025 at 8:00 AM
Like I said an estimate, based off of previous task forces of similar size and objective that worked with FBI, DHS & Treasury.

87k is terrible, and an issue you need to tackle. But likewise appeasing Russia now, is making problems for (also for the US) later that will cost you a hell of a lot more.
March 5, 2025 at 7:55 AM
Having said that, are you saying the US is not ‘great’ enough to fund an estimated $15 - $25 million a year for taskforce KleptoCapture? Whilst the Drug Task Force already receives an estimated $100 million a year?

Yeah sorry but wherever DOGE numbers appear, they usually seem to be inflated or pulled straight out of Elon’s ass.

That’s not publicly available

In 2024 they seized $700 million in assets from Russian enablers and charged 70 individuals with violating the sanctions and export to Russia.
March 4, 2025 at 8:19 PM
The (human) resources were repurposed. The task force itself shut down. But let’s be honest, America is too big and too wealthy to not be able to focus on enforcing Russian sanctions, AND the Mexican cartels, right?
March 4, 2025 at 8:16 PM
Pam Bondi literally said she disbanded the taskforce. "This policy requires a fundamental change in mindset and approach," Bondi wrote in the directive, adding that resources now devoted to enforcing sanctions and seizing the assets of oligarchs will be redirected to countering cartels."
March 4, 2025 at 3:32 PM
They may be in place, but the task forces charged with enforcing the sanctions have already been disbanded.

While Biden was far from effective on Ukraine, Trump seems to be pushing to end the war for the benefit of Russia, not the free world. We don't need another Czechoslovakia 1938 'peace' deal.

I think Jon Stewart made a good summarization. The reason MAGA (& moderate Republicans) want to align with Russia (or can accept it) is because of their obsessive hatred of everyone and everything they consider 'woke'. Europe is too 'woke', whilst Russia is not. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
March 4, 2025 at 11:00 AM
Nogmaals, je bevestigt mijn punt. Als je inhoudelijk niets te vertellen heb, en alleen capabel ben om anderen uit te schelden, dan zijn we wel klaar.
March 4, 2025 at 10:53 AM
Precies mijn punt.

Schandalig van de Amerikaanse President en Vice-President. Je gaat bijna geloven dat ‘Krasnov’ echt is.
