@mkeulemans Dit moet je vergelijken genormaliseerd naar de omvang van de groep. Vluchtelingen kunnen na 4 jaar al zweedse nationaliteit krijgen, weet je hoe lang de Zweden die emigreren al in zweden woonden?

Ineens is Zweden helemaal hip, bij anti-buitenlander-rechts. 🇸🇪😍
"Het land waar ze wél vluchtelingen tegenhouden! Ze hebben zelfs negatief migratiesaldo!" 👇🥳📢
Toch eens gecheckt hoe dat nou zit... 🧵

Het sneuvelen van de asielwet is "een totale afgang, een blamage en een aanfluiting", vindt @JuisteAntwoord-Kamerlid @DiederikBoomsma. "Nederland snakt al decennia naar een asielbeleid en het lukt maar niet." #WNL

🚨🇭🇺 🇪🇺 EUROPE DESTROYED ITS OWN LEVERAGE AND NOW IT'S PAYING FOR IT
PM Viktor Orban says Europe made two fatal mistakes that led to this moment.
First, they mocked Trump instead of building a relationship with him.
Made jokes. Acted superior.
Burned every bridge with the most powerful leader in the world because he wasn't one of their liberal academics.
That arrogance cost them a seat at the table.
Second, they sanctioned cheap Russian energy to prove a point.
Cut off their own supply with no backup plan.
Now the Strait of Hormuz is closed, oil is spiking, and those same leaders will have to quietly crawl back to Moscow anyway.
Putin isn't stressed.
Orban says he's sitting in the Kremlin asking for coffee...

🚨🇭🇺🇮🇷 THE REAL RISK WITH THE IRAN WAR IS THAT IT WON'T END PM Orbán warns the biggest danger in the Iran war is simple: it could drag on, just like Ukraine. What starts as a “quick operation” can turn into years of conflict with no clear exit. And for Europe, that’s where the real threat begins, because countries in the Middle East are buffers, and if they destabilize due to a prolonged regional war, mass migration follows. And Europe can’t handle that. @PM_ViktorOrban

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Nou mensen, de crimineel Micha Kat vindt het blijkbaar prima dat mensen hem ontvolgen.
Zullen we Micha dan maar helpen en de hashtag #ontvolgMichaKat trending maken?
RT = ❤️

@davthewave This actually makes sense. I knew him only for his insane Christian fundamentalist bs.

(Lack of) Privacy may the missing link for crypto payments adoption.
Imagine, a company pays employees in crypto on-chain. With the current state of crypto, you can pretty much see how much everyone in the company is paid (by clicking the from address). 🤷♂️

The problem isn’t that Trump is the “Most Unamerican President” - it’s that he’s the MOST American President. He’s the true face of empire, just without the mask.

Marco Rubio in 2016: For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.” (2016)

Much like JD Vance, Elon Musk and Bob, the Nascar fan from Alabama with some really strong opinions about European integration, I too have asked myself the age old question: "what has the EU ever done for us?" and decided to have a look at some of the latest countries to join.🧵

Misschien moeten die EU-haters dit artikel even lezen. En ja, de EU is niet perfect. En ja, we zijn op het gebied van veiligheid jaren een free rider geweest. Daarom: werk aan de winkel!🇳🇱🇪🇺

@JaapJansen Dus Wijers weet niet meer wat hij 2 weken heeft gezegd, maar is de enige man die geschikt is voor deze functie? Functie elders, past beter bij dit pratend wijnvat.

Journalist Eric Smit (op de foto naast Wijers): Wijers heeft Yesilgöz geen ‘leugenaar’ genoemd. Het betoog van Wijers was juist genuanceerd, schrijft hij op LinkedIn.

@fransweisglas Het zou wel eens onwaar kunnen zijn. Hij kon het zich ook niet herinneren:
