Gevoelige gegevens van het ministerie van Justitie, het Openbaar Ministerie en de rechtspraak vallen binnenkort mogelijk in Amerikaanse handen. Dit komt door de aanstaande overname van de IT-dienstverlener achter DigiD. En dat zou onze digitale veiligheid flink in gevaar kunnen brengen.

No diplomat would ever put “US gets 50% of reconstruction profits” in a peace agreement. It’s grotesque. It reveals the entire frame: this is a transaction, not a settlement. Ukraine is the distressed asset being divided between buyers. #ukraine

The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever.
Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years.
They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

Hundreds of Ukrainian athletes will never be able to compete because they gave their lives defending Ukraine against Russia's war of aggression.

Ukraine doesn’t need this ‘peace show’ it needs courage and supplies.
Analysis: Thanks to Trump, Ukraine’s President Zelensky faces a hideous choice between a bad deal and no deal.

The gaps between Kyiv and Moscow remain too explicit, and their reasons for obstinacy too drenched in sacrifice, anxiety and blood.

The #Ukraine so called peace-plan is a first step towards breaking the will of Ukraine. Having to adopt Russian as a state language, handing over long rage weapons and never joining NATO is pure psychological game to make Ukraine vulnerable and isolated.

Ik snap niet dat er niet meer Joden zijn die hun hand opsteken bij deze term. Het antisemitisme in Nederland was een eeuw geleden en daarvoor endemisch.
Theoloog hier. Er is niet zoiets als een joods-christelijke cultuur. Die term is bedacht als propaganda om Amerikanen te motiveren om ook in Europa te vechten in WO2. Tegenwoordig is het ook propaganda, maar dan anti-islamitisch. Ik zal dit blijven herhalen.
Ik begrijp niet waarom Segers met Duk in discussie wil. In de regel steun ik het idee dat je in een democratie met iedereen in discussie moet gaan, juist met mensen waar je het mee oneens bent. Echter, actoren die desinformatie en haat in het publieke debat pompen, diskwalificeren zichzelf.

Let’s talk about “Move fast and break things.” First of all, Facebook itself changed its motto to “Move fast with stable infrastructure” in 2014. So much for breaking things, at least if you’re a soulless corporate behemoth.
