This is getting intense for real 😳 One side saying talks are happening, the other side shutting it down completely… you can feel how tense everything is right now. Just hoping things don’t spiral further because situations like this affect way more people than the headlines show.

Mark Rutte just told the world that NATO is “coming together” to secure the Strait of Hormuz. He applauded Trump’s leadership. He beamed. He practically offered to carry the man’s golf bag.
There is one problem with this. Germany, the UK, Italy, Spain, and France have all stated, in plain language, that the conflict is not a NATO war.  France officially refused to participate. Trump responded by calling NATO a “paper tiger without the US,” and accused European allies of complaining about high oil prices while refusing to do anything about them. 
So Rutte is applauding the leadership of a man who is simultaneously publicly humiliating him. This is a level of masochism usually reserved for advanced yoga instructors.
Rutte has made a habit of irritating his European colleagues by crediting Trump personally for NATO’s defence spending increases, insisting that Spain, Italy, Belgium and Canada would never have moved without Trump’s pressure.  His audience, being Spanish, Italian, Belgian and Canadian, sat there and absorbed this. One imagines they were delighted.
El Pais has been particularly scathing, questioning the competence of the current NATO and EU leadership and concluding that European leadership has failed to provide coherent direction during the Iran crisis.  They named names: von der Leyen, Kallas, Rutte. The whole top table.
Rutte has also dismissed proposals from Manfred Weber and others for European-led security structures independent of Washington, insisting the transatlantic partnership remains “essential.”  The timing, given that Washington is currently calling NATO a paper tiger and questioning whether it would ever help America, is not ideal.
And here is the real engine of the absurdity: Rutte told Fox News the good news is that 22 countries are “joining forces to realize Trump’s vision.”  Trump’s vision. He said that out loud. On Fox News. To Trump’s primary audience.
Mark Rutte is not stupid. He is, in fact, quite clever. But there is a difference between diplomatic pragmatism and turning up to your own roast with extra tomatoes. Every European and Canadian leader watching him on television yesterday knows that Trump just used the Hormuz crisis to explicitly threaten to deprioritize NATO support for Ukraine. Rutte’s response was to applaud the leadership.
It is, as a communications strategy, the geopolitical equivalent of saying the food is delicious as the restaurant burns down around you.

Op deze dag in 1933 werd de Machtigingswet (Gesetz zur Behebung der Not von Volk und Reich) aangenomen, waarmee de nazi-regering wetgevende bevoegdheden kreeg en de Rijksdag zichzelf buiten spel zette. De Weimarrepubliek was hiermee de facto beëindigd

Ukraine’s drone commander Robert “Madyar” Brovdi doesn’t usually give interviews. I managed to persuade him. As architect and chief implementer of Ukraine’s infantry attrition strategy, few people have been as consequential in this war. economist.com/europe/2026/03…

Stolpersteine zijn messing steentjes waarmee slachtoffers van het nationaal-socialisme rond en in WOII worden herdacht. Ze liggen in de stoep voor de laatste vrij gekozen woning van de slachtoffers. In Nl. op dit moment 8500 stuks. #Gestruikeld #Amsterdam #OpdatWijNooitVergeten

Koeman grootste charlatan die ooit het ambt van bondscoach heeft bekleed.

Weghorst staat sinds 26 oktober droog en heeft sindsdien 16 duels op een rij niet meer gescoord. De Vrij heeft dit seizoen in Serie A slechts 410 van de 2700 minuten gespeeld. Aké heeft 488 minuten van 2700 minuten gespeeld in PL. Voor Koeman lijkt het allemaal niks uit te maken.

PSV had na 21 speeldagen (3-0 zege op Feyenoord) voorsprong van 17 punten op de nummer 2 en heeft na 28 speeldagen voorsprong van 15 punten ondanks uitglijders tegen Volendam, NEC en Telstar. Als Feyenoord een goede serie had ingezet na de nederlaag was het nog spannend geworden.

A friend in Cuba just notified me that every single patient in that hospital that was on ventilators died tonight. I don’t have words.

There’s something supremely saddening and enraging about seeing a hospital running on bare minimum power. Thinking about dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others tonight in Cuba. This is a blockade of death.

Trump is finding out the hard way that you can’t tariff Europe, abandon Ukraine, praise Putin, threaten to invade Greenland, constantly insult Europe, and then expect Europe’s support in an illegal and badly planned war built on lies that he launched without warning us

@tiesfrits @WNLOpZondag De export van elektrische auto's (EV's) uit Nederland groeit sterk, met 32% van de totale auto-export in 2025 (22.500 stuks) bestaande uit volledig elektrische voertuigen. Populaire modellen zoals de Tesla Model 3 worden massaal geëxporteerd door een overschot aan gebruikte EV's
