Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

So many European nations could stop the shadow fleet (hi 🇳🇱) - and all of them should. If we would, we would suddenly have huge leverage over Russia - immediately becoming a strategic superpower in current "negotiations".

It's unacceptable that Britain and France allow free passage of Russian shadow fleet tankers through their water.

De vrijwillige stoppersregelingen voor boeren leveren weinig op. Het kabinet moet aan de slag met alternatieven, zeggen deskundigen. ‘Besteed geld aan boeren die blijven.’
