De KNVB doet niet aan politiek, zeggen ze.
Heel goed. Verstandig. Het zou een uiterst bedenkelijk politiek statement zijn om naar dit WK te gaan. Niet doen dus.

Fundamental point made here. The one advantage we have over people in the past is that we can learn from them. Since we can we should. That’s the premise of my book "On Tyranny."

In 1916 the U.S. entered an agreement w/Denmark in which in exchange for taking control of the islands of St. Croix, St. John, & St. Thomas (then the “Danish West Indies”), the U.S. would pay $25 million & not object to Danish control of Greenland.

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost:
Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election."
In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
