@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social If Trump sees NATO as a US business model I'd say @rubenbrekelmans.bsky.social should stop bootlicking the USA and go full #BuyLocal @marije190375.bsky.social we're not obligated by law to order from the USA. Maybe we'll actually get supplies in, on time.
@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social @marije190375.bsky.social Trump best not violate dutch borders that we share with Venezuela, bc we are not interested in his war for personal glory while he throws NATO under a Bus. I hope Defence Minister @rubenbrekelmans.bsky.social made that very clear to His Majesty

@meidasdutch.bsky.social @meidastouch.com For the USA it's just business as usual like purging Margraten of DEI. For the EU it ment safety. @kajakallas.bsky.social @marossefcovic.bsky.social Time for the EU to realise #NATO was dead when Trump put the INF through the shredder.
@meidastouch.com If nato is nothing but a busisness model to serve the USA, I'm fine with #BuyLocal. The EU is not here to finance the USA. I was raised to be loyal to the alliance, not to a USA businessmodel @marossefcovic.bsky.social @kajakallas.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ejr...

@insideukraine.bsky.social @chadbourn.bsky.social @twmcltd.bsky.social I'm as antifa as they come. It doesn't matter if it is a dutch article or not. I don't like the current smackdown on press based on one article, that is not right either. They are press,not court. #Yermak @wilcoboom.bsky.social
@insideukraine.bsky.social While I understand this is personal to you and rightfully so, I called you out on this bc if you look like people like @twmcltd.bsky.social or @chadbourn.bsky.social they work so hard and take so much pride in their job one error should not make that obsolete, that's all.

That is fair but that is not what ticked me off. Bc dutch msm usually does take care of press integrity. That doesnt mean that it is fault free, anyone can make an error. Im a daughter of a journalist. That hurts bc I know how hard most work.

@jd-vance-1.bsky.social I want an open debate Vance. But given Trump made himself into "Potus of Peace" his drumrolls of war against others who want to protect their own "profits" his tantrums make very little sence to me; scuse us for being on other side of that border, so to say ;)
@nothoodlum.bsky.social Trump aims for regime change. Using madeup terrorism as excuse card. Like he does with democrat states, he does to other nations. If not pro Trump you're against him, he sees no middleground. Regards from the Netherlands www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Why is Trump, the self-proclaimed ‘president of peace’, aiming to topple the Venezuelan regime?
Marco Rubio has pushed for a tough approach to Venezuela, while the president reportedly only cares about the oil

@nothoodlum.bsky.social He does same to Ukraine, having pro russian Witkoff made a businessdeal with Putin selling it as a peace deal. We are raised in the EU to see nato as a holy grale, when in the US it is seen as a business model. That is why I am now pro team buy local.

@twmcltd.bsky.social @chadbourn.bsky.social Give me some credit. I usually have legit sources @insideukraine.bsky.social not evrything is pro russian after a human error mate. I know that is hard for you. But if anything I always tried to do right by Ukraine and you know it.
No. Fox is a shitshow compared to this. We have sites like that. I just don't quote those bc I don't want assheads to get attention through my tl. I worked way to hard to be more selective than to quote fcking Fox news over.nos.nl/organisatie/...

As expected most of my acrylic markers went dry on me again. Im refusing to buy more so I will stick with acrylic liquid inks and a dippen. I have a bad karma with acrylic markers, nomatter how I store them or clean and change the nibs.
#MixedMedia in progress. Obviously :P Had two hours of play fun using watercolor colored pencil and a dippen with ink. Fox needs more shading. And it still needs a for and background. Just wanted to practise on fox hunting posture. Having a bit of a fur tick currently, stretching dippen use.
