De SGP is de laatste jaren, vermoedelijk op een of andere manier onder invloed van MAGA 'christendom' enorm geradicaliseerd. Verbijsterend.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

Trump’s actions threaten to set off a chain reaction that will damage the armed forces long after he leaves office. If today’s military leaders are perceived as “MAGA” generals, then a future Democratic administration will be tempted to appoint its own stalwarts. bit.ly/47aHw7J

I finally got around to reading this, and here is some excerpts of Harai's pieace in FT, "Why #Ukraine is winning the war".

Harari is correctly claiming that the false narrative of #Russia 's might is tumbeling down, and that we now see clearly a Ukraine that is on the path to winning the war.

1/5 Zelensky has just revoked the citizenship of Odesa Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov.

The reason? He allegedly holds a Russian passport.

If confirmed, this could finally bring an end to the reign of one of Ukraine’s most corrupt and controversial leaders

Rusland verloor op 9 oktober minstens 20 tanks en pantservoertuigen tijdens een aanval in de buurt van Pokrovsk, waaronder T-90M en T-80BVM.

Russische fabrieken hebben dit hele jaar misschien 10 nieuwe T-90M's geproduceerd.

1/5 China spent years quietly building influence in Europe through trade, technology, propaganda, and diplomacy. It worked for China.

But backing Russia’s war in Ukraine was a strategic mistake.

Europe is now rethinking its relationship with Beijing

Dat Wilders de discussie waar hij geen controle over heeft uit de weg gaat, is typerend voor extremisten. De NSB deed hetzelfde. In de NSB 'Leidraad voor huisbezoekers' staat expliciet: 'Zij zullen trachten U tot een soort debat te verleiden, hetgeen echter beslist door U vermeden moet worden.’
