Imagine being a CEO of an US energy company and thinking that you work with close associates of the Trump family, only to find out that behind them is a sanctioned Russian company, really pulling the strings. This happened in Alaska. Polar Train LNG's CEO, Joel Riddle, stepped down after finding out that the Russian "Novatek" company, which is under US sanctions, has been involved in a $25 billion energy project in Alaska. The CEO thought that he was working with Gentry Beach, a close friend of Donald Trump Junior. Reportedly, that project was also discussed between Witkoff and Jared Kushner when they were with Putin. The White House admitted that the project was talked about "briefly". We are witnessing the greatest corruption scandal the USA has ever witnessed. It all leads to Trump, his family and the Russians, and apparently they were even ready to sell riches of Alaska to the Russians. The people in Alaska just need to look over to Russia, where the richest regions in terms of minerals and hydrocarbon resources have been stripped-mined, transferring all the wealth to Moscow and Saint Petersburg and leaving a scarred landscape in extreme poverty. That is the result of rampant corruption. We are starting to see more details why Trump and his friends are trying so strongly to bully Ukraine into surrender. This is most certainly only the tip of the iceberg.

There are people who consider Elon Musk a great man. This great man already spend about 450 biljon dollars to buy your Midterms election. As this is possible do you still think: "One man, one vote'"? Really?

In Israël is iedereen voor de wet gelijk.Dat is niet perse zo in de dagdagelijkse werkelijkheid
“Dus er wonen in Israël 2 miljoen Arabieren/palestijnen?” Ja. “En die mogen dus stemmen?” Ja. “En ook in regering zitten?” Ja. “En hebben gelijke rechten?” Ja. “Dat wisten we niet. Israël is toch apartheidsstaat?”. Nee, in Israel is iedereen gelijk. “Waarom weten we dat niet”?

The USA politics is nothing else but securing the best economic deal. For Trump, for his family, for his close multibillionair friends and maybe for the people of the USA citizens. But just maybe.
According to Le Monde, citing sources, U.S. special envoy Witkoff held a tense meeting in Florida on October 9 with Budanov, head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office. Sources claimed that Witkoff spoke to Budanov “like a child,” trying to “teach” him how to make money. Witkoff proposed a postwar “regional prosperity plan” that included fully restoring Russian oil and gas transit to Europe through Ukrainian territory. Witkoff argued that Ukraine would earn transit revenues while Europe would benefit from lower energy costs. Budanov reportedly replied that Ukraine’s model is “not Belarus, but Poland,” then stepped out to call President Zelenskyy, who advised him not to show any reaction. When the talks resumed, the Ukrainian side was shown a document outlining a U.S.-Russia diesel deal. An irritated Witkoff reportedly said: “Accept this diesel deal and stop striking Russian oil refineries — you are putting the world at risk!” Ukrainian participants were described as shocked, viewing the plan as creating dependency on Moscow and noting that the United States appeared to have secured nothing in return from Putin. A source close to the delegation told Le Monde: “I have never seen the Ukrainians so stunned and alarmed after a meeting.” Analysts contrasted the episode with the February 28, 2025 Oval Office incident, saying this one involves concrete policy decisions that could affect Ukraine’s ability to defend itself ahead of a potentially harsh winter. lemonde.fr/international/art…

Als je in actie komt als de wal het schip keert dan doe je niet het goede. Dan ben je te laat.
Replying to @LeanManProf
Het besef begint langzaam in te dalen dat we mensen tekort komen en die tekorten gaan alleen maar oplopen als we niets doen. De VVD doet altijd het goede nadat ze eerst alle andere mogelijkheden geprobeerd hebben.

Oei, decennia lang "aanzuigende werking?" Welke draai hebben jullie dan nu ineens gemaakt?
We werken eraan dat minder mensen hier naartoe komen. Als je niet mag blijven, moet je terugkeren. Mag je wel blijven, dan doe je mee. Onze minister @ThierryAartsen over het belang om nieuwkomers zo snel mogelijk aan het werk te krijgen.

Путин утверждает, что украинская земля принадлежит России по историческим причинам. Отлично! Тогда применим ту же логику к России. 🇯🇵 Япония получит обратно Курилы. 🇨🇳 Китай заберёт Владивосток. 🇫🇮 Финляндия вернёт себе Выборг и Карелию. 🇩🇪 Германия вернёт Кёнигсберг, ⬇️

You are losing trust from friends and allies at an astonishing speed.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sought to reassure Southeast Asian counterparts of Washington’s commitment to the Indo-Pacific, pledging that Washington would defend its interests and those of its allies and partners reut.rs/4zcWDKm

Feit, beiden, en Lula en Bolsonaro hebben om verlenging gevraagd. Het Hooggerechtshof heeft de verlenging goedgekeurd Zoals gebruikelijk bij verlies van een rechtse kandidaat is er nu verontwaardiging bij die kandidaat en zijn aanhang.
Het is maar zeer de vraag of deze verkiezingen eerlijk zijn verlopen. Lula liet verkiezing langer duren. Schond regels grondwet. Bolsonaro wil dat juridisch aanvechten maar Lula wil het in gevang. Beste: verkiezingen opnieuw. En volgens de wet.

Minister van LNV heeft een agenda over meer dan alleen Nederlandse landbouw. En gelukkig maar. Met de boeren organisaties zijn vast nieuwe agenda afspraken gemaakt.

Of course. I stand with the ICC when it is about Netanyahu. And I consider the USA being an imperialistic or even colonial country.
Then I hope you apply that same standard to Washington and Israel. Are you willing to condemn America’s invasion of Iraq and criticise US support for Israel’s military campaign when international law is at issue, with the same firmness you use against Russia? Or does this principle only become absolute when Moscow is involved?

Zolang het Internationaal Recht als basis dient kan er met iedereen gepraat worden. Met het IR als uitgangspunt is de oorlog dan snel afgelopen en kunnen binnen heel Ukraine de herstelwerkzaamheden beginnen
Ukraine/Russie: contrairement à Kaja Kallas, Støre (Norvège) et Stubb (Finlande) pratiquent une diplomatie européenne concrète pour arrêter la guerre. L'Europe doit choisir : soutenir les efforts pour bâtir une porte de sortie diplomatique, ou les saper. responsiblestatecraft.org/eu…

Dat kun je niet, want de #VVD zit ook weer in dit kabinet. Zij laten het onderwijs liever aan particuliere partijen, alleen betaalbaar voor de happy few.
40 procent van de kinderen kan niet goed lezen en schrijven. De leesvaardigheid is gekelderd toen D66 in kabinetten zat. Er werden scholen gesloten tijdens COVID. Hoe kunnen we erop vertrouwen dat het nu wél goed komt met D66 in dit kabinet? #BegrotingOCW #onderwijsdebat

If the USA acted the same way in roughly the same circumstances we should condemn those actions too. And support the attacked country the same way we support Ukraine. Why should 'concerns' of any country give it the liberty to ignore International Law?
The Budapest Memorandum doesn’t erase the security concerns Russia had been raising for years. You can keep pointing to international law, but that doesn’t answer the question of NATO’s expansion towards Russia’s borders. Why is Russia expected to ignore developments that America itself would take seriously if they happened near its own borders?

Why? Because of a minor detail called International Law or some other minor detail, the Memorandom of Budapest in which Russia guaranteed Ukrainian borders..
Ukraine can have its own military. Nobody is arguing otherwise. But Russia also has security concerns, and those concerns cannot simply be dismissed because they come from Moscow. The issue is what happens when Ukraine’s military is increasingly integrated with NATO, an alliance Russia has opposed expanding towards its borders for decades. So why is Ukraine’s security treated as the only concern worth discussing, while Russia’s is dismissed outright?
