France holds 290 warheads, Britain 225. Their combined arsenal totals 515 weapons against Russia's 5,580 and America's 5,225.
Without Washington, Russia alone outguns Europe 11-to-1 in warheads. Macron's plan makes those 515 European weapons unpredictable enough to matter. 2/
The Telegraph: Macron tore up 65 years of doctrine to defend Europe with French nukes, with or without the US.
Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, and now the Czech Republic will host French nuclear-armed Rafales. 1/
@chiky_handlr Maine deserves what they vote for !!!!! What the fuck is going on with these states????? And the democrats are calling the president hitler!!!! Really!!!! Take a long look at what this dirt bag stands for. He’s a douche bag!!!!
6th place in the 110th running of the Indy 500!
Great effort all month by all of @juncoshollinger . Today wasn’t the most straightforward race but we adapted and maximized the chances we got. Proud of my crew and excited for what’s next!
Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

@helpdeskert Geen enkel probleem..
Het verschil is dat je, zodra je thuis bent je auto altijd aan de oplader kan en moet hangen, al dan niet slim gestuurd
Altijd een volle accu ( tank) als je weg wilt, geen tank stops, en in mijn geval met mijn zonnepanelen, geen hoge kosten of belasting
Ik heb een vraagje aan de EV-rijders. Vooral aan degenen zonder eigen laadpaal aan huis. Hoe verhoudt zich dat tot het hebben van een benzineauto? En dan bedoel ik met name of het als onhandig wordt ervaren, want opladen duurt langer dan tanken en ik denk dat je meer met planning en je actieradius bezig bent als je ergens heen moet? Geeft dat stress?
Kortom, is het hebben van een EV tegenwoordig net zo praktisch als een benzineauto? Wij overwegen namelijk een EV, maar hebben er 0 ervaring mee en hebben geen plek voor een eigen laadpaal.
Nederland gaat vaker samen met andere Europese landen defensiematerieel ontwikkelen en inkopen. Slimmer en efficiënter. Onze militairen werken straks vaker met dezelfde systemen als bondgenoten. Plus: extra kansen voor Nederlandse bedrijven.

🤔🇺🇸 Rubio to meet NATO foreign ministers for first time since Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the Alliance over its stance on Iran
Before leaving for the meeting in 🇸🇪Sweden, Rubio said that Trump was "very disappointed" with the Alliance members who did not allow the US to use bases on their territory for war.
"You have countries like 🇪🇸Spain that deny us the use of these bases - so why are you in NATO? It's a very fair question," the Secretary of State told reporters in Miami.
De Amerikaanse overheid dwingt microsoft gegevens van Nederlandse ambtenaren door te spelen. De VS gebruiken alle gegevens waarover Amerikaanse bedrijven beschikken.
Dit betekent dat het laten migreren van DigiD en de berichtenbox naar de VS ongelooflijk dom en kortzichtig is. Dat moet het kabinet nu toch wel beseffen?

A NEW TWIST in Africa's soaring solar story:
It's now manufacturing its own panels. The factories use imported Chinese cells, which are 40% of the value of panels, keeping much of the value domestically.
9 GW of cells+wafers in Mar/Apr alone🧵
Higher taxes on wealthy don’t solve anything.
They’re a political tool, a nice Robin Hood catchy phrase to win votes
In reality the wealthy always have ways to dodge taxes.
Rinus VeeKay zegt dat hij zichzelf in zijn eerste vijf #Indy500 edities vaak te veel druk oplegde op Race Day, omdat hij bij ECR op papier een winnaarsauto had.
Door de ervaring met Coyne vorig jaar, toen hij bijna de race miste, gaat hij nu een stuk relaxter richting Race Day.
Do they really check your social media history on entry to the US?
I have to go…and it’s just dawned on me I’ve slagged off that obese orange sex offender, about once every four hours, for over a decade.
I have a work trip to Europe next week.
Work travel to Europe SOUNDS exciting until you remember that the only locations in Europe that have any hi tech industry are the grimmest greyest places imaginable that look like this.
