@Mij_Europe The Netherlands as well

🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 A bombshell? Not quite but President Macron went further than expected this afternoon in announcing progress towards a strengthened “European dimension” for France’s nuclear deterrent. 1/

@PM_ViktorOrban @vonderleyen @ZelenskyyUa Then talk to you friend in Russia. Retract troops and the war has ended.....

Yesterday, the Brusselian leaders, with @vonderleyen at the forefront, reached an agreement with President @ZelenskyyUa to continue the war. This is bad news for Europe. A war is being prolonged that clearly has no solution on the battlefield, yet causes immense destruction. Every month, 35,000 people are killed or left permanently disabled, while the front lines barely budge. Hundreds of thousands of widows and orphans, mothers mourning their sons. This is what Brussels is supporting. Continuing the war costs European citizens enormous sums of money. Hundreds of billions of euros are being squandered with no result. In this war, it is not the Russians who are being crushed, but Europeans. On top of this, the risk of nuclear escalation remains, as Europe is confronting a nuclear power. If we allowed it, Hungary would be dragged in as well. Last week in Munich, the leader of the opposition Tisza Party, under German patronage, concluded a secret pact with Brusselian leaders. In exchange for the support of Brussels and Kyiv, he would pull Hungary into the group of European countries at war, agree to further financial support for Ukraine, and cut Hungary off from affordable oil and gas. Hungary must stay out of this. The Hungarian government must safeguard the country’s security. Hungarians can count on us: that is exactly what we will do. 🇭🇺

@JoelKatz Extreme clickbait, laser satellite communication has been under development for at least a decade and laser communication between LEO and earth has been shown in 2024 as well (tno.nl/nl/newsroom/20…)

@Kasparov63 I loved the quote on Dutch tv, that he was "the Best of the West".

RIP to the great Dutch Grandmaster Jan Timman. He was the leader of the new Western generation after Fischer. Unlike many, he was a serious analyst and researcher who loved every aspect of the game, including compositions. He was at his powerful peak through the 1980s to 1993, when he lost matches to his peer Karpov and Nigel Short of the new generation. We dueled many times, including his victory in my "heaviest" game ever, where our moves were mirrored by machines moving huge shipping containers as pieces in Rotterdam! We also argued many times, as he also cared deeply about the future of our beloved game. He was my first opponent after I became world champion in 1985, pictured here in Hilversum, NED, before game 5 of our match on Dec 20, I believe.

@IranObserver0 Why do all bots ask grok, just read one of the earlier answers..... Insane how this regime can kill their fellow countrymen and just pay off the US from upholding their values.... Or are these the new values?

@MadelonVos__ @DVanLangenhove Everyone using Air France KLM 🤣

@DVanLangenhove Correct. But your map shows were moving via France 😅

Many of the most talented Dutch people are going to leave the Netherlands in the coming years, accelerated by insane new taxes on unrealised (!) gains. The push factors are immense. Cost of living is rising rapidly, whilst the quality of living is decreasing. Mass migration is destroying our social fabric and security, making it ever less likely that our children will have a future here. I predict that in the coming years, the pull factors will also start picking up speed. Countries all over the world will start competing to attract the efflux of talented, wealthy Europeans. Combine both factors, and they will create an unstoppable spiral. It will become increasingly difficult to stay in Europe, whilst becoming increasingly attractive and easy to leave. Our last chance to prevent this, is to implement large scale remigration, better today than tomorrow.

You have seen Teddy Roosevelt’s famous quote about the Man in the Arena. But have you really read it? Have you absorbed it? “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” Soak it in. “…there is no effort without error or shortcoming.” “…if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” My goal, this week and every week, is to keep you from becoming one of those cold and timid souls. Sure, there might be less heartbreak, but there is also no joy in that life. It’s a life that puts you on the sidelines. You live in a constant state of mediocrity. Since a life without putting yourself into the arena doesn’t experience the lowest lows, it also cannot experience the highest highs. It’s a constant middle-ground, a life of “blah.” It numbs you. It’s why people who never step into the arena themselves are always trying — and failing — to find joy in other people’s failures. They want to feel something, like they know the people in the arena do, but they aren’t willing to take the risk required to feel something real. I don’t want any of you to live that middling, numb, mediocre life. I want you to feel the highest highs. And for that, I need you to learn that you’ll also have to experience the lowest lows. It might not seem fair that the same map can lead you to either brutal heartbreak or total greatness, but that’s life. We saw it in the Super Bowl. Haters will call the Patriots losers. But there are no real losers who play in the Super Bowl. I don’t mean that in the participation trophy sense, because I can’t stand the idea that everyone deserves a trophy. I mean that everybody who goes all out, who steps into that arena and gives everything, is a champion, even if they don’t deserve a trophy. They have lived life fully, rejecting the numb mediocrity most people accept. The only real losers are the ones who never leave the safety of the sidelines. After these Olympics, Lindsey won’t go home with a medal. She will go home with the heart of a champion. I hope she knows that she did a great public service for all of us. She demonstrated that thriving means being comfortable on that razor’s edge of victory and defeat. She reminded us that coming up short in a worthy cause beats becoming one of those cold and timid souls. She showed us how to live, not just to exist. They don’t have a medal for that. Life’s greatest wins live inside you. My challenge to all of you this week comes in two parts, and one is easier than the other. Let’s start with the easier one: don’t be a loser who hates from the sidelines. I have a feeling most of you can already check this one off, because this is the positive corner of the internet. But if you find yourself naysaying or enjoying other people’s failure, it’s the first sign that you are falling into that numb, cold, timid life. Stop it. Now, the harder one. Take the risk. Put yourself out there. All of you have something you’ve shied away from, something where you thought about jumping into the arena but hesitated when you thought of the risk of failure. You might fail. But I promise you’ll find that even failure means a fuller life than the sidelines. It’s time to start living. arnoldspumpclub.com/blogs/newslett… 2/2

Lezen jullie mee, @2eKamertweets? Met name @d66, @vvd en @cdavandaag Met jullie Box 3-beleid plegen jullie diefstal. Korte termijn begrotingswinst, lange termijn vernietiging van vertrouwen, rechtvaardigheid en investeringsklimaat. 🇳🇱 Javier in Davos: Een toespraak over de morele wortels van het liberalisme Hier is mijn lezing van de toespraak die president @JMilei vandaag hield in @Davos, voor wie een beknopte samenvatting wil. Hij begint met de stelling dat het liberalisme twee fundamentele principes erkent: het recht op leven en het recht op vrijheid (waarbij vrijheid niet het recht inhoudt om anderen te schaden). Uit deze rechten vloeien andere voort, zoals het recht op eigendom: ik ben vrij om dingen te creëren, en niemand zou mij of mijn eigendom mogen aantasten. Een rechtvaardig systeem respecteert deze rechten. Efficiëntie is zinloos als dit ten koste gaat van deze rechten. Het vrijemarktkapitalisme, gebouwd op privé-eigendom, vertrekt vanuit het respect voor deze fundamentele rechten van de mens. In die zin is het kapitalisme rechtvaardig. Tegelijkertijd creëert het kapitalisme efficiëntie, omdat alleen de volledige uitoefening van eigendomsrechten leidt tot het beste beheer van dat eigendom. Zo is het kapitalisme zowel een rechtvaardig als een efficiënt systeem. Overheidsingrijpen schendt in veel gevallen het privé-eigendom. Meer overheid betekent minder rechtvaardigheid en minder efficiëntie. Regulering tast eveneens het eigendomsrecht aan (bijvoorbeeld: huurprijsregulering verlaagt de waarde van je eigendom). Overgereguleerde economieën zijn daarom zowel minder rechtvaardig als minder efficiënt. De president verwees naar Xenophon, Ulpianus en de principes van de joods-christelijke leer (“gij zult niet doden”, “gij zult niet stelen”) als voorlopers van deze ideeën, die later het liberalisme vormgaven. Vervolgens noemde hij de lange reeks denkers die bijdroegen aan het consolideren van de ideeën van vrijheid. Het is moeilijk een zo krachtige, rijk aan verwijzingen zijnde en zeer filosofische toespraak samen te vatten, maar ik denk dat dit de kernpunten zijn. Een noodzakelijke toespraak in de tijd waarin wij leven. VLLC!

How to keep young people poor forever. Some European countries are thinking to Tax unrealised Crypto Profits. This is insanity. -Be a stupid politician. -Impose 40% tax on Unrealised crypto profits. -Force investors to sell their coins or take loans because they can't pay taxes on profits they still haven't made.

🇳🇱 For my Dutch followers: Jij werkt hard. Je spaart. Je neemt verantwoordelijkheid. En de overheid? Die pakt vervolgens op een onredelijke manier af wat van jou is. Teken de petitie. Deel dit bericht. Laat zien dat je er genoeg van hebt. petities.nl/petitions/stop…

Tekent u aub. deze petitie ook even? Want de Nederlandse overheid wil dat u belasting gaat betalen over winst die u niet verzilverd heeft, geld wat u niet heeft ontvangen. Leuker kunnen ze het inderdaad niet maken. Dank u! petities.nl/petitions/stop…

If you are Dutch, you should revolt Sign the petition: petities.nl/petitions/stop… They think they can get away with this

@MichaelAArouet Because your wealth is spread unevenly. 60% of Americans are barely making a living wage, but let's celebrate the 1% threshold.... Clown world

@cryptomanran Dumbass, what BS too claim this is the fall of gold. This makes me loose all respect for you man.

This is REALLY bad for GOLD. Scientists can literally recreate Gold in a lab and this makes Gold no longer scarce. For those that think I am being alarmist or dramatic, study the Diamond chart since the same thing happened and scientists created lab grown diamonds. Neither the human eye nor with a mag glass can tell the difference and the cost is about 1% of the original. Once people realize this, there will be a huge shift into Bitcoin.

@PeterSchiff @grok is this true?

Trump told NBC that under Biden we were losing $5 billion per day on trade. He claims that thanks to him we are no longer losing on trade. Yet our trade deficits under his term have been larger than they were under Biden. So we are losing more on trade now than we were before.

@alifarhat79 Yet it is what happened. Was there a request at all? As others also did not wear black, Trump did wear blue. The framing is shit, but he did not wear black....

The Vatican asked Pope Francis funeral attendees to wear all black. Trump wore a blue suit bla bla bla

@AutismCapital The time of unmanned air dominance is already upon us. New fighters at 100+M will not be the future

🚨 NEW: Pete Hegseth’s full remarks on the new F-47 fighter jet “This is the next generation of air dominance. This sends a message to our allies that America is not going anywhere and to our enemies that America will be able to project power around the globe unimpeded for generations to come.”
