Ai, yes everything kind of was on fire last year and feels like we levelled up into an inferno at the start of 2026.

We end up with a demented criminal in charge of the executive, who hasn't been able to string together a coherent sentence, never mind making a logical argument since at least the 2016 lection cycle.

The legislature is unable to produce legislation for decades. The election system does not produce a government that represents (the interest of) the population. The judiciary fails to adjudicate a criminal in 4 years.

To be frank it is a whole of society failure. Education and media systems failed first. It is not enough for the media to be independent of the government.

I'm really curious about his (Rutte's) memoirs about this period in 10 years.

I think he and EU national leaders may have agreed on roles in working the US relationship. Rutte does the degrading work of pandering to Trump so national leaders don't have to, at least to that extent.
Just speculation

The people you lost are not the conservatives tho. What's happening in the US is not a conservative movement.

They got blackmailed.

How is mercosur doing?
We need that done

Seriously dude dont gaslight her. You chose to make part public and part private that is your choice. All fine.

The public part is then fair game to comment on and she was transparent about that.

Obviously because there was a paywall. Why ask the obvious.

There needs to be accountability for companies and their leaders.

I don't know. He is just incoherent. Not sure what's going on in his brain but if you try to interpret the words out of his mouth (to fit your desired reality) then you have already lost.

It's almost at the level of Russian media at this point.

Plans to buy Renault as next car. As long as it comes with autopilot and VTOL anti-traffic features.

Robotizering of Dronizering van oorlog is mogelijk in ons voordeel. Oekrainers zijn instaat het front the bevriezen met minimaal aantal soldaten daadwerkelijk aan het front.

Moeten we wel investeren.

Trump tariffing countries over Greenland is a test. If Europe just swallows it and tries to move on, it increases the odds of the WH thinking it can seize Greenland without consequences. Europe therefore has to respond.

Euro publics have had enough and want their leaders to push back 2/

Let's not count on 'pushback'. Pushback has consistently failed for more than a decade now.
