1. Gasvoorraad op 6.2%.
2. Straat van Hormuz gesloten.
3. Irak, Qatar, Koeweit en Bahrein verklaarden force majeure.
4. Grote productieverlagingen in Saudi-Arabië en de VAE.
5. Één van de grootste raffinaderijen van de VS in brand.
6. VS wenst uitruil LNG met handelsakkoord.
7. Noorwegen produceert op maximale capaciteit.
8. Nederlandse benzine, gas (!) en elektriciteit zijn zo ongeveer de duurste in de wereld.
9. We gooien nog altijd onze gasputten dicht.
Tijd voor Den Haag dit serieus te nemen.
Jitse Groen@jitsegroen
De Nederlandse regering zal gedwongen worden de visionaire leegte waarmee men nu denkt de wereldproblematiek weg te wensen te vervangen door een strategie omtrent het eigen gas en bijbehorende energie onafhankelijkheid. De wal keert het schip wel, al had ik liever gezien dat er iemand in de stuurhut zat en we mijlenver van de kust waren gebleven.

Who still believes that the UK is Europe's leading military power? Who? Really..?
The World Today@TheWorldToday
How does the continued language of Britain being Europe’s leading military power hold when Germany is committed to much higher levels of defence spending? 🇬🇧 Explore @AndrewDormanIA's (of @DSD_Kings) take on the UK's choices in the run up to its long-promised Defence Investment Plan: chathamhouse.org/publications/t…

After 40 years here I’m leaving. This was on my doorstep in Golders Green. My wife and children have already left. I have always believed in the European civilisation and I have been proud having been born as a European. My wife’s Opa was a proud German who got out by the skin of his teeth in 1939. I’m not going to make the same mistake.

@nire_izena_ @sunnyright I love how the ‘current’ is seen as the height of depravity while whole cities were wiped off the map 80ish years ago. Fml peoplw need to get some perspective.
English
@sunnyright Tell that to the 100+ school children killed in an errant air strike.
English
1) Ground invasions are not more humane for anyone, air strikes are far more targeted and limited
2) No, we’re not giving up the most powerful tool in the west’s armory, but thanks for the invitation to walk into that trap

@democracyinc1 @SBarrettBar You mean the ‘exclusively’ jewish ‘area’ that’s about a third jewish. Not to mention it’s literally illegal for a private ambulance service to discriminate who they treat under UK law.
Honest to god for someone against fascism you’re using all the nazi dogwhistles real well.
English
Will people get a bloody grip
British Jews fund 4 ambulances *for everyone* because they are lovely
Just like the 200 other lovely organisations that fund ambulances
Fund ambulances = good
Burn ambulances = evil
Get a bloody moral compass.

@JanFredebeul I’ve been hearing pro EU folk predict/promise/beg for this for 20 years. A ‘united’ Europe has made us weaker and every time ‘closer union’ is used as a fix things get worse.
I want a Europe of free, sovereign nations. That’s how the continent dominated for centuries.
English
Europe can become the next superpower! 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
English
@pl_european The EU is reaping the fruits of its own incompetence. This, like so many other examples, is exactly why we need less, not more EU.
English
Fucking hell, we need to move away from gas and fossil fuels. Just electrify the fucking system; invest in nuclear, solar and wind. From one side we have Russia blackmailing the EU with energy, then we have Middle East dependence, now we have the US blackmailing the EU.

@allgau2021 @TrentTelenko Damn it you beat me to it. I now sort of need a p47 (2026 version) to chew through drone swarms in my life.
English
@TrentTelenko A modernized Corsair or Mustang would also do well, with a modern fire control system for dual 20mm mini guns on the wings.
English
It’s not the F-35, so the US military isn’t interested.🤷♂️

I believe this is the answer to the Drone problem.

@BoxHideman @tempestvista Because it’s in Israel’s interest to turn its once allies into states as equally hostile to it’s continued existence as its neighbours how exactly?

Time to make it possible to expel countries from the EU and make it as painful and destructive as possible.
Betraying Europe should come at such high a cost that no one should even consider it.
Donald Tusk@donaldtusk
The news that Orbán’s people inform Moscow about EU Council meetings in every detail shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. We’ve had our suspicions about that for a long time. That’s one reason why I take the floor only when strictly necessary and say just as much as necessary.
English
@pl_european Cause Cyprus isn’t an EU member state.
Honestly, some of you will be saying “it’s not our war.” if Iran does decide to try to strike say Berlin just to fan anti-atlanticism.
You’ll be remembered in the same vein as those asking “why die for Danzig?”.
English
Iran has no reason to attack us as we did not attack it. So not thanks, it’s not our war.

Range circle of an IRBM able to strike Diego Garcia (4800km/3000nm). There is not a single capital in Europe, except Iceland, not in Range. It is Europes war, if you like it or not.

I know it has been over two decades since Rotterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij went bankrupt due to lack of orders, but I consider it a supreme act of national self-sabotage that the Dutch allowed their once exceptional submarine building capability be lost.
Infuriating.

🚨🇪🇸 BREAKING: Spain moves toward serial submarine production. The second S-80 Plus class submarine, S-82 Narciso Monturiol, has successfully completed its first diesel engine ignition test at Cartagena shipyard. The S-80 Plus program, led by Navantia, places Spain among a small group of nations capable of independently designing and building submarines. Named after Narciso Monturiol, a 19th-century pioneer of early submarine propulsion systems.

Share of Hormuz oil going to each region:
•Asia: about 80–90% of the crude oil and condensate passing through the strait
•Europe: about 3–10%
•United States: about 2–3%
Don’t let the Americans fool you that we in Europe depend on Hormuz to be open more than anyone else.

@BeedeGee Mooi, zeg je eindelijk iets zinnigs na drie dagen drek spuien. Fijn leven verder!

We moeten eigenlijk niet zo zeuren op Israel. Ze hebben geprobeerd een hele nette oorlog te voeren!!!
Andere landen zouden veel meer burgerslachtoffers hebben gemaakt. Israel belde zelfs op om te waarschuwen voor een bombardement!
Zo netjes van Israel. ❤️
Nederlands
Hoe fout, verkeerd, afkeuringswaardig de aanslagen op Joodse instanties ook zijn, ik heb grote moeite met de mensen die in alle staten zijn terwijl ze alle verwoestingen van Israel in Gaza afdeden als 'zelfverdediging'.

EU-ministers staan volgens NOS-correspondent Kysia Hekster niet te springen om de Straat van Hormuz te verdedigen. “Het is niet hun oorlog.”
Dat is een interessante redenering.
Want een aanzienlijk deel van de olie waar Europa op draait passeert precies die zeestraat. Jarenlang was het vooral de Amerikaanse marine die die route beveiligde.
Maar wanneer het over Oekraïne gaat, spreken dezelfde Europese leiders wél over “onze oorlog”.
Nederlands
@BeedeGee Schat een tereurdaad vergelijken met een oorlog is zo dom dat het bijna grappig is.
Maar fan van de modus operandi van de IRA zie ik?

@ScarySlothBarry Nog even een vraag, als diegene die een brandbom naar een Joodse school wil gooien eerst effe naar die schoolt belt als waarschuwing dat dat gaat gebeuren, is het dan oke om die brandbom te gooien?

Angela Merkel die Duitsland overspoelde met meer dan 1 miljoen immigranten, vertelt die immigranten nu openlijk tegen het AfD te stemmen.
Ik ken geen vrouwelijke politicus die ik als meer kwaadaardig is, en er zijn voldoende gekwalificeerde kandidaten.
Ian Miles Cheong@ianmiles
Angela Merkel, who flooded Germany with over 1 million migrants, is now openly telling those same migrants to vote against the AfD. Merkel's saying the quiet part out loud. She imported a voter base to counter the rise of the right and is now calling to activate it.

@H_Bouwmeester Kallas’s husband was doing business in Russia in 2023. So I reckon she’s intimately familiar with the topic.
English
Kallas in 2022: “Russia knows there is always someone who will give Russia something they didn’t have before.”
Now the Belgian prime minister seems willing to sign a Munich 2.0–style agreement with Russia.
History doesn’t repeat itself , but it often rhymes.

@SanderSassen @2eKamertweets Sander je weet dat je ‘jongeren’ moet zeggen toch? Anders worden ze verdrietig.
Nederlands
Waarom veel ouderen 's avonds de straat niet meer op durven? Dit is één van de voornaamste redenen: niet geïntegreerd straattuig met een migratieachtergrond dat totaal geen respect heeft voor ouderen. En de @2eKamertweets? Die kijkt vooral de andere kant op.
