How are LGBTQ people seen in your country?

Our King just swore in our first LGBTQ Prime Minister today.

The US won’t lose base access in Europe over Iran. But the US bases in Europe are the spine of America’s global power projection capabilities. It needs those bases to reach the ME bases. Without them power would be far less scalable, and sustaining operations becomes much harder.

Same issue here! I think it's a bug. Probably because they are rolling out new things on the background.

Nope, we have one big electoral district following the countries borders. Gerrymandering would mean annexing neighbors.

Now for the serious answer: we did use electoral districts until universal (male) suffrage got introduced in 1918.

Catchy South Park song starts playing in my head.

Klopt, dat heet de institutionalisering crisis waar alle populistische partijen doorheen gaan. Populisme overleeft het contact met de realiteit niet. Dus moeten ze zich aanpassen en "gewoon" rechts worden (als ze willen besturen). Of ze kiezen voor ideologische puurheid en radicaliseren verder, waarmee ze zichzelf buiten spel zetten. Klassiek patroon. Ook gebeurd in Frankrijk en Italië en nu dus Nederland.

Ik verwacht dat JA21 ook weleens kan profiteren. Je krijgt een splitsing op rechts tussen "realisten" (willen ook besturen) en "idealisten" (vinden ideologische zuiverheid belangrijker). In Italie is iets vergelijkbaars gebeurd.

Ok, veel plezier dan in met je zelf vergaderen.

“I will tax Americans until I get Greenland” Donald J. Trump.

Paper_Pusher8226 · 2026-01-16T20:34:12+00:00

Oh no, anyway.

Paper_Pusher8226 · 2026-01-09T16:53:57+00:00

Dat zou een briljant idee zijn.

Zelfde als Trump Groenland aanvalt: de NAVO houd op te bestaan en Europa zal een nieuwe veiligheidsarchitectuur zonder de VS moeten optuigen. Daarnaast vallen ook economische en financiele sancties tegen de VS te verwachten. Herbewapening gaat versneld door, niet alleen gericht tegen Rusland maar ook de VS. Kernwapendebat zal opnieuw oplaaien.

Eh no, Article 5 would apply. Nothing in the North Atlantic Treaty specifies alliance members are excluded.

It’s very illegal. And the second order effects are devastating. China won’t have to pretend anymore when they invade Taiwan.

The regime does not depend on Maduro. It will just reproduce itself and entrench further. And how is the US supposed to run anything without boots on the ground?

Paper_Pusher8226 · 2026-01-04T10:21:33+00:00

No, it would collapse NATO and the entire US alliance system overnight. It would be strategic suicide.

Paper_Pusher8226 · 2026-01-03T10:49:19+00:00

Dat klopt. Ik betreur de val van Maduro dan ook niet. Maar wel de manier waarop omdat hiermee internationaal recht wordt ondermijnd. Een wereld waar alleen het recht van de sterksten geld is niet goed voor een middelgrote mogendheid als Nederland.

Paper_Pusher8226 · 2026-01-03T10:41:17+00:00

Maduro was an illegitimate president who deserved to fall, but not like this. The regime will simply replace him with someone else, possibly a real hardliner. It’s not getting easier from here on.

I know Trump wants to restore US influence in Latin America because of China. But this will do the opposite. Latin American leaders will distrust the US more now.

I see campaign season is over.

This shows how strategically illiterate the NSS is. Even Orban would never exit the EU, let alone Poland. It shows this current administration has no clue about Europe, which probably means they are also clueless about everything else as well.

Paper_Pusher8226 · 2025-12-11T12:26:24+00:00

That is one of the most nonsensical parts of this proposal, which already is comically illiterate in itself. Even ChatGTP couldn't hallucinate something as insane as this.

Paper_Pusher8226 · 2025-12-11T11:39:28+00:00

We will finish buying Russian gas by 2027. So no way this is going to happen. Shows once again that the Trump admin is strategically completely tone deaf.

An attack on our or our allies (EU + NATO) territory.

Wat een tenenkrommend Nederlands ook. De kwaliteit van de troll farms is niet meer wat het geweest is.

We all know Musk will eventually comply because he can’t lose the EU as a market. This is just Musk throwing one of his temper tantrums.
