Protest in Duitsland bij oprichting nieuwe jongerentak radicaal-rechtse AfD
De oude jongerenafdeling van de AfD werd in februari opgeheven. Dat gebeurde nadat de veiligheidsdienst die dreigde te verbieden vanwege extreemrechts gedachtengoed.

There is still a significant knowledge gap when it comes to industrial electrification.
As I noted in a recent interview and now covered by Table.Briefings, most companies are “unclear about the options and costs.”

what hegseth describes is deeply criminal under international law and, before his tenure, accepted law for the US armed forces. we cannot let this go. it's not about policy difference. it's murder under the color of law.

The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

This is actually a relevant factor here: it's been pretty clear SOUTHCOM, whose commander resigned, has been pushing back, at least somewhat. They're putting it under the operational command of SOCOM specifically because that's the most already rotten place you'll find people happy to do crimes.
Why do you need Seal Team 6 to blow up a fucking boat?
This would be an unambiguous war crime even in a proper war against a real enemy’s navy.

Pete Hegseth committed a war crime and then doubled down.
He instructed the military to murder civilians at sea and when there were injured victims he gave the order to kill them all.
Surviving victims were brutally dismembered at sea by US missiles.
