We'll be happy if they finally get a government coalition there, don't ask too much of them 😅

Generally these kinds of coalitions never last very long

Rosen🌹🌌🇧🇪 @jacrosen.bsky.social · 4d

So like...this looks like nobody can form a functioning majority. Or will there be attempts to get a minority government to function?

Here we tend to assume our own incompetence before malice 😅🤷

But I haven't seen anyone either claiming it or pointing at a culprit? It just kinda disappeared between all the other news

Do we know if the recent cyber attack on belgian and German airports had anything to do with the russians?

I still think most, if not all their nukes have become useless. Through underfunding, corruption, and brain drain.
If he still had confidence in his arsenal I'm sure he would've at least exploded one in some russian desert by now, as a show of force.

Tiktok is arguably the best cyberweapon the Chinese ever made

Rosen🌹🌌🇧🇪 @jacrosen.bsky.social · 25d

But as far as we know the North Koreans don't have nukes.

(However I do think there's some solid arguments to be made that the russians don't really have any working/deployable ones left either.)

Ever since we saw Prigozhin do his little raid, I remain convinced that if we let them, the Poles alone could drive to moscow. Or the Finnish or Swedes. And certainly if we all work together.

First the communists took the bait and I did nothing because I wasn't a communist.
Then the unionists took the bait and I did nothing because I wasn't a uinionist.
Then the Jews took the bait and I did nothing because I wasn't a jew.
Then I took the bait, when there is no one left to eat it for me

And then when there is no reaction, no rage or condemnation, they'll just try something more extreme next time.

Sometimes it's better to take the bait (and have the analogous conversations) than to wait until the bait becomes unavoidable.

He held the 2nd amendment in such high regard... truly a man of principle

Rosen🌹🌌🇧🇪 @jacrosen.bsky.social · 28d

Now?
They already have plenty of martyrs, trump is the biggest martyr of them all, because he's always the victim of everything.
I remember when even Epstein was a martyr for the rightoids...

I hope it will remain a short term investment.
Because after covid we're all in a lot of debt already....
And the potential destruction of our western welfare state could be a lot more damaging than putin can ever hope to be 😬

On the other side of the coin, this is a big reason liberals and centrists are failing in so many places. They refuse to deny, ridicule or ban far-right ideas, rather they adopt them in "light" versions in hopes of cheap electoral success. But then people just vote for the real thing instead 🙄

They've been voting for various different protest parties for a while now.
I'm mostly glad the VVD is finally going down.

Hopefully the centrist and left wing parties can finally get a majority coalition without them

However europe needs to pick up the pace in space too, currently we rely way too much on one crazy billionaire....

If any european politician who isn't on the left says anything even alluding to migration of any kind being slightly positive, they'll lose all their support.

If they want to allow more ukranian migration it'll have to be called something else, or be done sneakily

As far as i'm aware the projected collapse of the russian economy was always predicted in 2026 🤔

Seems to be pretty much on track no?

It's like a car, it won't stop driving until the tank is empty. But right before then, it still looks fine.

It'd definitely benefit our armies.

We just got our first MQ-9B, a 20 year old platform, to start working with....
The Houthis can take these down...
We spent 600 million on 4 of these...

Instead we could've sent people to Ukraine to learn actual modern drone warfare for cheaper.

The weakness that the orange clown projects will be seen as an invitation to others.

I would not be surprised if he also makes a "deal" with his good friend Xi about Taiwan
