@TobolskiyV @visegrad24 @DefensePolitics One thing is for sure, this never happened before Russia started a war against Ukraine.

@visegrad24 @DefensePolitics When it’s Ukraine, it’s “crashed”. When it’s Russia it’s a war crime. You guys are Olympic level mental gymnasts 🤸🤦🤣

A drone crashed into a residential building in Cheboksary, Russia, causing a fire. One local resident was killed, and ten others were injured in the attack.

@HJB_News__ Well, that explains a large part of the budget deficits of the last few decades. Imagine the amount of resources, money, time and energy that is spent on such people and such "problems". This will just continue to get worse until the welfare state finally dies.

Abdul has lived in Britain for 25 years but still doesn’t speak English. He’s been asked to leave his social housing and needs somewhere else to stay. Over 2 million foreign nationals live in Britain and also don’t speak English and you pay for them.

@ITA40511835 @AmandaKluveld @Ruud_Koop_mans Wat zegt het dat er weer Nederlanders rondlopen die een reeks aanvalsoorlogen tegen Israël goedpraten? Het is namelijk niet heel anders dan wat de NSB'ers en hun Duitse vrienden indertijd deden.

@AmandaKluveld @Ruud_Koop_mans Wat zegt het dat Joodse Nederlanders zo heftig reageren bij kritiek op Israël?

Hoe walgelijk.

@xrxr04 @AmandaKluveld Ga eens dood.

@AmandaKluveld Kritiek op de staat Israël heeft niks te maken met antisemitisme! Zionisten en extreem rechtse christenen proberen de discussie continue te vergiftigen met de huilkaart van "jodenhaat"!

@DeepValu @afneil @TimesRadio Yes, the French are also doing a great job stopping those small boats for you. Make sure you keep paying them.

@afneil @TimesRadio Don't worry the French have our backs..

My monologue from today’s The Times at One with Andrew Neil @TimesRadio ROYAL NAVY RIP While US destroyers duke it out with Iranian navy fast boats over the Strait of Hormuz, we learned yesterday that the Royal Navy’s HMS Iron Duke, a Type 23 frigate, was being withdrawn from active service, despite a recent £100m five-year refit, which suggests that was largely a waste of money.  More important, it underlines the stark reality that we no longer have a functioning navy.  That’s right. The country of Rule Britannia, which once had the most powerful navy in the world, capable of protecting an empire which covered a quarter of the globe, no longer has a navy worthy of the name.   For the factual basis of what I’m about to say, I am indebted to Britsky, who posts important naval data on X and has become the reliable go-to source for information on our disappearing Navy.  HMS Iron Duke joins another ageing Type 23, HMS Richmond, in retirement. Leaving the Royal Navy with just five frigates to monitor Russian submarine activity in the North Atlantic and other Russian activity in the Channel.  Even that doesn’t reveal the full, desperate picture. Of the five frigates still supposedly available for service, one, HMS Kent, has been almost 750 days in refit and is not available for service. HMS Portland and HMS St Albans have also been laid up for some time.  Only HMS Somerset is currently deployed and HMS Sutherland could be, pretty quickly. So the Royal Navy can call on the immediate services of only two of the five frigates we have, all dating from the 1990s.  What about the more powerful Type 45 destroyers? Sad to relate the picture is even bleaker. There are only six. One, HMS Dragon, has been deployed to the East Mediterranean to protect Cyprus, though that took some time.  Another, HMS Daring, has been in refit for 3,260 days and still not available for duty. HMS Defender has been out of action for over 1,000 days, HMS Diamond for just under 700 days. HMS Dauntless is in maintenance. Other than Dragon, out of our six destroyers, only HMS Duncan could be deployed quickly.  What about our hugely expensive, powerful Astute class submarines? Better you don’t ask. We have only five — and only one, HMS Anson, is on active service somewhere in the Indian Ocean.  The other four — Astute, Ambush, Artful and Audacious — have been laid up for a total of 4,000 days. That’s right 4,000 days. HMS Ambush alone has been inactive for 1,400 days. It’s currently laid up on the River Clyde.  So the currently deployable, conventional Royal Navy, excluding the ancient, creaking subs carrying our nuclear deterrent, amounts to two frigates, two destroyers and one sub. That’s not a navy for a maritime nation. That’s a joke.  Yes, we have two big aircraft carriers too. They also seem to spend a lot of time in maintenance, which is where they are at the moment. But both could currently be deployed pretty quickly, which is an improvement. But we don’t have the frigates or destroyers to form a carrier fleet. So they can only be used in concert with better equipped allies.  We might be short of fighting ships. But we’re not short of admirals. We currently have around 30 rear admirals or above, which works out around four per deployable ship. That’s admirals. Not captains.  None, of course, of this bloated top brass has been held accountable for the near disappearance of our naval power. Nor have any Tory politicians who for 14 years presided over our navy’s degradation. Nor is the current Labour government in any apparent hurry to put matters right. Our airforce and army are in no great shapes either. But it is the state of our non-navy, an integral, vital part of our island history, which is the real national scandal.  And, as is so often the case in modern Britain, nobody is held to account. Nobody forced to carry the can. Nobody making it their mission to put it right. And that is the real national disgrace.

@coronaexposed1 @hrdbk67 @moeva18 @ReneDercksen Het is nooit anders geweest, zowel communisten als nationaal-socialisten hebben de Joden vervolgd.

@hrdbk67 @moeva18 @ReneDercksen De jaren 30 zijn weer terug, moslims en links zijn schuldig aan de toenemende haat tegen joden.

De staat van Bevrijdingsfestival Groningen. Een schreeuwende act met een anti Israël T-shirt en een keffiyeh om de schouders. Roepend dat een Nederlandse vlag niet gehesen moet worden maar de Palestijnse wel. Walgelijk dat dit festival dikke subsidies ontvangt van de overheid en @gem_groningen . Dit is meewerken aan antisemitisme en polarisatie en heeft niks met het vieren van onze bevrijding te maken

@hrdbk67 @moeva18 @ReneDercksen Ik doe daar al lang niet meer aan mee. Die festivals zijn gekaapt door enerzijds politici, die daar een beetje staan te deugen en anderzijds linkse activisten, die daar subsidies weten binnen te halen.

@moeva18 @ReneDercksen Ik was bij het bevrijdingsfestival in Zwolle.. Ik zei iets van de " Pally- vlag" en dat mijn familie Joods is en dat wij bang zijn 🥲... vervolgens kreeg ik de " hitlergroet" en dat wij Joden allemaal aan het gas moesten. Ik diende een klacht in bij de beveiliging...niets🥲🥲🥲🇮🇱

@BramGobbel @Sandervandam2 @chrisklomp Dan moet de veroordeelde wel doorgaan tot het Europese niveau.

@Sandervandam2 @chrisklomp Europese wetgeving staat boven Nederlandse wetgeving.

Nog even over die vernieling van het Monument op de Dam. Ik heb mij er al eerder over uitgesproken, maar juridisch kan het best complex zijn. Er is namelijk Europese jurisprudentie waaruit volgt dat bij 'geen permanente schade' vervolging niet opportuun is.

@NoLeftyEsty @wicks48401 @realMAG1775 You are aligned... congrats.

@wicks48401 @realMAG1775 Now that we are aligned with Putin let’s pull out so he can take it all,

Europe mocked Trump. Now they’re about to lose billions because US bases might close. Reality, without US muscle, their socialist dream dies. Pay up or defend yourselves. America First means we stop carrying parasites. Germany: $4.1 billion a year and 80,000 jobs gone. Italy: $312 million in Naples alone. Spain: $713 million. They spent decades freeloading on American protection while funding welfare empires and importing the Third World.

@trias_politica @ewmagazinenl Ehm, hypocrisie natuurlijk.

@trias_politica @ewmagazinenl Op dat vlak is niets definitief. Maar de voortdurende hypocrysie van Brussel over "oneerlijke handelspraktijken" bij o.a. de Amerikanen en Chinezen is stuitend.

De kloof tussen Chinese en Europese automerken groeit steeds sneller – moeten we ons zorgen maken? ewmagazine.nl/economie/achte… via @ewmagazinenl Verkeerde strategische keuzes..

@y3rnaux @NoContextDutch1 Awww, cry harder.

@AEJHulsman @NoContextDutch1

@NoContextDutch1 Zou zo'n wapen tegen drones kunnen zijn (electronic warfare).

@AvivaKlompas They do not look Western though. The one on the right looks Asian, the other one looks Arab.

The very definition of useful idiots - Western women dressed in terrorist garb, campaigning for jihadists who would punish them simply for showing their hair, let alone their midriffs

@UN_Women Then why are you not able to do something about the Taliban?

Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. 📢 We’ll keep repeating it — this International Workers’ Day and every day. #MayDay

@thomas_spaas En ook dit wordt gefinancierd door de belastingbetaler. Ik betaal daar gelukkig niet meer aan mee.

Ik vind deze migratie, d.w.z. diegene die we nu hebben, absoluut NIET normaal. Ik noteer dat zowel de (lokale) overheid, als de 3 grote mediagroepen, daar blijkbaar anders over denken.

@marcosagusstinn Spare us faux outrage. The EU has had 10% import duty on US cars for decades while the Americans only charged 2.5% import on European cars. On top of that we had all kinds of extra rules that made it unattractive to import an American car. And now we get some payback.

German exports to the U.S. are hitting lows, in part because of tariffs—and now Trump is announcing yet another round. This isn’t just policy, it’s economic aggression. These measures are directly undermining Germany’s industrial backbone and punishing its exporters. This is an attack on Germany, and it’s no joke. These actions are not minor trade adjustments, they are deliberate moves that strike at the heart of the country’s economy. Responding with hesitation or polite concern is not enough. It demands a firm, forceful answer of the EU.

@DayOptionsNL @wierdduk Zoals Els Borst (D66). Toen waren ze allemaal echt geschokt.

@wierdduk Wordt tijd dat een hoger geplaatste keer goed aan de beurt komt. Dan is t kommer en kwel, want aan normale burgers hebben ze dikke schijt.
