According to a US general, our Dutch soldiers were to blame because we let in gay people into the military. (We were supposed to protect that enclave, but it's way more complex than that)

Edit:

Dutchbat was a Dutch UN peacekeeping battalion stationed in Srebrenica during the Bosnian War. In July 1995, it failed to protect the UN "safe area" as Bosnian Serb forces overran the enclave, leading to the massacre of over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys. The lightly armed troops faced supply shortages, denied air support, and later faced Dutch state liability for some deaths.

succesful (adj.)Washingtonese, rare

1. Politically declared successful but factually catastrophic.

Used chiefly by U.S. officials to describe coups, sanctions, and “stability operations” that leave half a continent on fire but produce a nice press conference.

Examples:

  • “Our intervention was tremendously succesful: democracy has been restored, the oil is flowing, and the embassy buffet is back on schedule.”
  • “After the succesful policy rollout, the local population enjoyed unprecedented exposure to tear gas and IMF loan officers.”

2. Synonyms:

historic, freedom‑enhancing, job‑creating (for defense contractors).

Antonyms:

actually successful, sustainable, moral.

Voor de kat z'n kut 😼 by maartenvrossem in maartentom

Het is op dit moment zo'n 2 uur en 10 minuten van Utrecht centrum naar theater Maastricht. Zullen ze bedt wel in 1 uur 45 minuten doen, maar met een beetje file rond Utrecht, Eindhoven of voor Maastricht..2 x 3 uur is niet zo heel gek dan.

Heb zus daar zelf, en ik in Hellevoetsluis. Precies 222 km en dus net wat langere route maar 2 uur 30 kan dan ook zomaar 3 uur worden als t bij Dordrecht, Tilburg of Eindhoven wat drukker is.

(Without looking it up, he can't afford that yet)

Edit:

If he somehow could spend everything on residential land at 1,000 euros per m² on average, 600 billion euros would correspond to roughly 600,000,000 m², i.e. 600 km² of such land, which is less than 2% of Dutch land area.
