When I worked for Obama, I advised him on how to talk to Russian leaders. I never gave the Kremlin advice on how to talk to Obama (and I talked to Ushakov many times!).

- Een peiling onder Trump-kiezers laat zien dat slechts 16% van hen vindt dat Oekraïne territoriale concessies moet doen. Ruim zeven op de tien Trump-kiezers vinden dat de VS Oekraïne moet helpen en Rusland verantwoordelijk moet houden voor Poetins agressie.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

JD Vance and Peter Thiel are running a sustained operation out of the White House designed to acquire Greenland, either voluntarily or by force. Thiel has laid out plans for what he intends to do with the island nation in past writings. It doesn't entail the consent of the Greenlanders for anything.

Veel twijfels over Amerikaans-Russisch vredesplan voor Oekraïne
Slecht voor de Europese veiligheid. Zinloos zolang Oekraïne en Europa er niet bij zijn betrokken, klinkt het onder analisten. ‘Europa moet hier nooit mee akkoord gaan.’

Das kann man sich auch nicht ausdenken, dass es -wegen des chinesischen Embargos bei den seltenen Erden - der deutschen Rüstungsindustrie am Rohstoff GERMANIUM mangelt.
“DEUTSCHLAND BRAUCHT MEHR GERMANIUM für seine Wehrhaftigkeit”, das fasst die Lage doch gut zusammen.

President Trump frequently demonstrates his disdain for journalists. He expresses his admiration for authoritarians almost as often. Tuesday showed how intertwined those two instincts really are.

Meer geld naar defensie heeft volgens CPB 'weinig effect' op 'economische groei'. Maar, nuanceert planbureau: 'effecten op economische groei moeten niet doorslaggevend zijn in keuzes rond de defensie-uitgaven'. Doel is vergroten van 'onze weerbaarheid en veiligheid'.

I've counted about 15 explosions so far in Kharkiv. Russian drone attack continues.
The sounds are terrifying. The buzz of the drones, the car alerts, dogs are going mad outside, the explosions. The building is shaking.
