ER IS EUROPESE ASIEL-WETGEVING DIE IN GROTE LIJNEN OVEREENKOMT MET WAT JE NU WIL INVOEREN. Alles wat je nu verzint is zinloos. Waarom verspil je onze tijd? Ga wat nuttigs doen. Stop met dit onderwerp. Ga de stikstof-, woningmarkt-, ggz-, stroomnet- en oliecrisis oplossen, ei!

Deze is te mooi om niet te delen. Over de nieuwe schijf van vijf.

Het is dat D66 zich heeft laten gijzelen door de VVD, anders zou Rob Jetten Dilan duidelijk maken dat ze niet de minister van alle zaken in NL is, maar enkel van Defensie.

Hungary 🇭🇺 Poland 🇵🇱 Europe 🇪🇺 Back together! Glorious victory, dear friends! Ruszkik haza!

Israel just executed Hassan in South Lebanon. He wasn’t a fighter. He was a paramedic. Israel killed him while he was on the frontlines saving lives.

Breaking: Even Viktor Orban is more pro-democracy than Donald Trump.

Huge win for democracy in Hungary today. Huge win for EU unity. Huge win for Ukraine. Losers: Putin, Xi, and Trump.

Je viens de m’entretenir avec Peter Magyar pour le féliciter de sa victoire en Hongrie ! La France salue une victoire de la participation démocratique, de l’attachement du peuple hongrois aux valeurs de l’Union européenne et pour la Hongrie en Europe. Ensemble, faisons avancer une Europe plus souveraine, pour la sécurité de notre continent, notre compétitivité et notre démocratie.

Ossoff: "Iran's ballistic missiles and drones are not destroyed. The regime is intact, along with its ability to throttle the global energy supply. Along with its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which it only assembled after Donald Trump shredded President Obama's Iran deal."

US-Israel carried out a terrorist attack on the civilian B1 bridge in Karaj, Iran, killing 8 people and severely wounding 100 others. US-Israeli forces then waited for an hour for civilian emergency responders and rescue teams to show up then struck them again to maximize casualties.

✋🏼 Hello, Iranian-American here. Much of my family was celebrating the strikes because they thought the US was trying to liberate Iranians. Now they are discovering how gravely mistaken that belief was.

Ik vind het gewoon altijd mooi #thepassion

On April 1, President Trump told the world’s nations to “build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.” He said America would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He said allies must protect it themselves. He said the hard part was done. On the same day, Bloomberg reported that Powerus, a drone company backed by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump through their American Ventures fund, had been meeting officials in Abu Dhabi to pitch advanced autonomous weapons systems to the United Arab Emirates. The product line includes the Guardian-1, a lightweight kinetic interceptor designed to destroy Shahed-style drones at 340 kilometres per hour for a fraction of the cost of a missile. The pitch is aimed at the exact vulnerability the President’s speech created: Gulf nations that need to defend themselves because America just told them it will not do it for them. The President defines the threat. The sons sell the solution. The war creates the demand. The family supplies the product. Powerus merged with Aureus Greenway Holdings on March 9 in a deal worth approximately $50 million, positioning for a Nasdaq listing under the expected ticker PUSA. The Guardian-1 was unveiled on March 18, ten days after the war began. It completed flight tests at the US Army’s National Training Center in high-intensity combat simulations. The company’s website claims “confirmed intercepts and kills in active combat zones.” No footage has been released. No CENTCOM confirmation exists. No allied government has verified a single Guardian-1 kill. The product is 15 days old. It has been tested in simulations. It has been pitched to a government under missile attack. It has not been proven in combat. The broader Trump family UAE portfolio deepens the architecture. In January 2025, a $500 million stake in World Liberty Financial was sold to an Abu Dhabi entity linked to Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, the UAE’s national security adviser. Eric Trump signed. $187 million went to Trump family entities from the first installment. Trump Organization licensing with DAMAC and Dar Global for towers and golf courses exceeded $500 million in the past year. An 80-story Trump Tower Dubai is under construction. The family is embedded in the UAE’s financial, real estate, crypto, and now defence infrastructure while the father conducts a war that makes all four sectors more valuable. Senator Jack Reed called for scrutiny: “Trump’s arms sales to family business partners must be examined.” The White House says the President is “unaware” of Powerus dealings. The sons say the businesses are separate. The timeline says otherwise. The war began February 28. The drone company merged March 9. The interceptor launched March 18. The Abu Dhabi meetings took place in recent weeks. The President told allies to defend themselves on April 1. Bloomberg reported the pitch on the same day. Lockheed Martin sells the F-35 with 900 pounds of Chinese rare earth magnets that China has banned. Zelensky sells Ukrainian sea drones to the Gulf states his enemy’s ally armed. And the Trump sons sell an untested interceptor to a country their father just told to fend for itself against the drones their father’s war provoked. The war has no perimeter. The business has no boundary. And nobody in Washington can tell where one ends and the other begins. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Schrödinger's Trump

Trump declares almost 50% of Americans to be public enemy number one – right after Iran. This is no longer politics; this is open civil war from the mouth of a president. Anyone who brands half of their own people – millions of ordinary Americans who simply vote differently – as the "greatest enemy" hasn't understood America; Trump hates it. This rhetoric isn't "tough," it's treacherous. It destroys precisely what makes America strong: the idea that Americans, despite all their differences, are one nation. Trump has just proven that he doesn't want to be president of all Americans – but merely the leader of a faction that considers the rest the enemy. Insane. And extremely dangerous.

Fantastisch, docu #cruijff. Niks simpel verhaaltje van a-z, maar opletten geblazen, heen en weer, verwarrend, vervreemdend. Of, zoals hij het zelf zei: "Als ik zou willen dat ze (de mensen thuis, zie docu) het zouden begrijpen, dan had ik het wel duidelijker uitgelegd". Genoten!

Dit is toch werkelijk ongelooflijk

Wat een heerlijke middag! Klasse mannen! #fcgroningen #Groaz

Condoms could have prevented this global disaster

Trump keert zich tegen zijn eigen aanhangers – ook in Nederland. De reden? Hoge energieprijzen, economische malaise, onrust over oorlog in Iran en het feit dat Poetin hiervan profiteert en de Europese veiligheid verder ondermijnt. trouw.nl/opinie/trump-k…
