How are these things connected? We could use the Russian assets now and then some other money in two years. 🤷‍♂️
🇧🇪 Belgian PM: "If we use Russian assets to finance the war, then we also assume that the Russians will be exhausted in two years... A tsar like Putin can do everything: starve his people, lead them to the slaughter and organize genocide. But lose the war? He cannot do that."

Wordt het niet eens tijd dat we stoppen halve gevangenissen en hele doolhoven voor elkaar te bouwen in deze maatschappij?

And the same is true for universal basic income. The entire economy is oriented around the default setting of desperation to survive amidst maldistributed abundance.
Almost every argument against universal health care is just a guy who makes 200k a year sending emails saying "but the flea and tick lobby will be really upset if we give the dog a bath"

Omdat wie het echt nodig heeft nu eveneens streng behandeld wordt.

Dit is een exces aan harteloosheid van deze regering.

We veranderen op die manier van een welvaarts- naar een achterdochtstaat met overheid die 'eerst schiet en dan pas vragen stelt'.

On a brewing crisis in private equity and shadow banking and its systemic risk to the broader economy.
When asked, one of the answers of ChatGPT reads:

"Private equity is much bigger now than pre-2008, but its direct systemic footprint — meaning how central it is to core financial stability — is still smaller than, say, what banks and mortgage securitization were right before the global crisis."

Anyone can read the redactions of the Epstein Files by just copying and pasting them into a word doc. The people at Trump's Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents.

Youtube viewers when they see the full presser of Bart De Wever at the EU:
"Very sane Leader and puts things in perspective and not propaganda."

Exactly the same viewers about the blattant passive aggressive condecendence towards Politico at the Q&A end:

Voor rechtzaken in russische rechtbanken moeten we niet bang zijn volgens De Wever. Maar over rechtzaken in Hong Kong en Zuid-Afrika dan weer wel.
Zover had ik nog niet gedacht. Ja, eigenlijk is de uitkomst van de Euroclear-oefening inderdaad voorspelbaar.

Ik vermoed dat het een 'shock and awe' was

Soon he'll be shouting quiet piggy and all populist around the world will chuckle and relish it and meet up to plan new insults ahead. Then, one day, you'll wake up to find out your government has been gutted but don't worry, it came with a witty punchline.
🇧🇪👀 Belgium PM Bart De Wever clashed with Politico after being labeled "Russia’s most valuable asset":

"Now I have to go to my dacha in Saint Petersburg, where my neighbor is Depardieu and across the street is Assad. […] If you write about it, be sure to say I was joking and you laughed."

POLITICO:
“Bart De Wever isn’t going to be getting any favors from the Commission any time soon,” a diplomat said. “And he will likely need them.”
After two months of resistance, Belgium’s Bart De Wever ultimately got his way, as plans to use frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine collapsed after a night of negotiations between European leaders.

Here’s the inside story of how he did it 👇

Over alle kanalen heen lees, zie en hoor ik jubbelende berichten over De Wevers optreden in de Europese kring.

I propose a 2026 "Trump rule of thumb":

Whenever his face appears on social media you cover it with your thumb to suppress any or all gag reflexes.

Additonally: cranck up the pitch of his voice whenever he appears in video formats.

This comes highly recommended.

Voorstel van het CEPS:
de opbrengst op de russische Euroclear-tegoeden in EU-verband gebruiken voor de terugbetaling van een lening aan Oekraïne.

Niet gek.
