Max Verstappen explains why he dismissed a British journalist from his media session in Japan:
“I got that question quite often last year, and I think I answered it more than twenty times. So when someone asks that question during the press conference after the last race and also laughs in your face, to me that has to do with a complete lack of respect. If you don't give me respect, why would I give you respect?
You only see the camera pointed at me and not at that person, who just started laughing. And you could clearly see that there was malicious intent behind it at that moment. That is enough for me. I have been in Formula 1 long enough to know who has good intentions and who has bad intentions. If you go and laugh at me right there, you clearly don’t have good intentions.”

@RobLMyers@autosport Rob has been sour about Verstappen for years, I have pity for your family if even anybody is left to tolerate you after all these years
@autosport Nothing to do with respect. He was asked a simple question and it seems it touched a nerve. You might say he was triggered and he’s holding a grudge.
But, let’s talk about respect. Is parking your car on another driver’s head and walking away without a care respectful?
@Osint613 The US should just seize Diego Garcia if we need permission to use it and it was withheld. That's insane that an "ally" can restrict our use at a place we rely on so heavily.
The Netherlands has announced it is scaling back its participation in U.S-led counter-drug operations in the Caribbean Sea, as a reaction to the rising death toll from American military attacks on vessels suspected of being used to smuggle narcotics from Latin America, according to reporting Tuesday by Politico.
Speaking on Monday in Aruba, one of several Dutch island in the Caribbean and off the coast of Venezuela, Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans said that the Dutch Navy would continue drug interdiction within its own territorial waters, but would not use its naval “station ship” for interdictions linked to the United States’ Operation Southern Spear.
“We have worked together with the Americans on counter-narcotics for many years, but in a different way,” Brekelmans said. “When we see drug smuggling, we try to arrest and prosecute those responsible. Not by shooting ships.” Brekelmans made it clear that the Netherlands would not provide facilities, helicopters or other support if requested by Washington for Southern Spear.

Volgens Linus Tech Tips zal de Steam Machine $699 moeten gaan kosten, wat ongeveer neerkomt op €749 in Nederland. Kansloos.
Console gamers ga je niet overtuigen PS5 Pro money te droppen voor minder dan base PS5 performance. Hardcore PC fans hebben al een krachtiger apparaat.
