This is about why I, a devout pacifiist, am promoting the rearming of Europe #RearmEU.

It's clear to me that, to maintain a state of peace, one needs to be protected against external forces of evil, with a capability of attacking.

It's no help to peace denying existence of those external forces.

Yes. Hendrik does know. He explained who he is, exactly, to me.

Personally, I wish no evil to anyone, no matter how evil they, themselves, are. I don't sink to their level.

Nonetheless I agree that, in the event, he probably wouldn't be missed by most good Europeans.

Why isn't this news getting more attention? An attack was being planned on the Prime Minister of a European country!

A suspected terrorist cell was dismantled by Belgium's federal prosecutor's office on Thursday, believed to have been planning an attack on Prime Minister Bart De Wever.

Suspected terror cell said to be planning attack on Belgian PM broken

Local media reported that investigators discovered a homemade explosive which the suspects were reportedly planning to attach to a drone to carry out the attack.

Am I just a prophet of doom, if I don't trust any promise that either Trump's regime or the Netanyahu evil cabal are making?

We shall see & I hope I am proved to be totally wrong. Only time will tell.

Unbeknownst to most or long forgotten is that on October 8 and October 10, 2023; Hamas offered the same deal that’s being pitched as Trump’s “Gaza Peace Deal” which would have handed all hostages over to Israel in exchange for Israeli troops not entering the strip, Netanyahu refused the proposal.

For the last time, ANTIFA is not an organization. It’s an ideology — the one we fought WWII to defend.

Netanyahu is a lying POS,
Trump is a traitor,

and Americans need to pretend they’re in Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, etc., 🥹

We must show Trump and ICE, that they don’t own us,

I really thought Israel had promised to cease hostilities against the Palestinians in Gaza. Or is there something wrong with my eyes?

I had heard that it was because he renamed the 'Defence Department' to the 'War Department' but, as I didn't read this since, I was starting to doubt its veracity. Anyway, to be clear, they are to be voting on the 2024 events, not the ones from this year (according to James O'Brien).

A Dutchman, who has close connections with members of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, recently said that the Committee already decided *not* to reward Trump for his efforts to get one b/c he's constantly boasting about himself.

Sorry to be pedantic but News, in possessive mode, is spelt "News'" (apostrophe at the end, not before the 's'). i.e. "Fox News' Masked Guest".

I have never believed in the Constitution, and consider it false.
Freedom was only for Whites. About half of the writers had slaves, which means they were hypocrites.
The settlers had a great way of perverting freedom. Freedom was only for them.
Disgusted does not begin to explain how I feel.
