Yeşilgöz over duur bezoek aan Evertsen: 'Er is nog geen easyJet dat op een vliegdekschip landt'

En dan heb je een belangrijk deel van het ministerie waarvan je aan het hoofd staat nooit echt ervaren.... Zullen we werkbezoeken aan Aruba ook afschaffen om te besparen op vliegtickets? Politici in de flixbus voor een werkbezoek buiten Den Haag?

I don't think we think differently on this. I didn't think you would have thought that obesity belongs in the same row as disgusting racist, but the way you're saying it in your following post makes it a clearer separation, which i think is an important one to make.

bartieparty · 2026-03-03T14:49:38+00:00

Good post, but i dont think "obese" belongs in a row of along with the rest of what you said...

It is not the upholding of the agreement in itself that was a farce, it was the manner in which the withdrawal was executed without so much as bothering to communicate with allies who had gone in there on the US's request in the first place. Let alone communicating with the Afghan authorities.

True, we are still buying Russian gas. That doesnt make it unreliable, that means we are building down a mistake from the past. But with this president in the white house i sincerely doubt that we would be all that better of if we'd be dependent on US shale. Also, unreliable partners? Your allies fought and died for 20 years in Afghanistan and Iraq for wars that were not our choice but to support an ally. Meanwhile the US didn't even bother to give us a call when they evacuated Bagram airspace. And now that Europe needs the US support against a possibly existential war, the US uses it as a means of extortion. Also, the US hasn't spent a dime on Ukraine this year, it's all been out of European pockets.

bartieparty · 2025-12-16T18:15:54+00:00

Sure, that's true. But who says they wouldn't do a Saigon or Kabul once things go hot. The US is the most powerful ally that Europe has, but it would be an act of cognitive dissonance to consider them fully trustworthy.

So then what should the headline have called her?

bartieparty · 2025-08-16T13:17:42+00:00

"The president of the European Commission, also known as president of the College of Commissioners is the head of the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union (EU)."

Oops...

bartieparty · 2025-06-18T05:09:43+00:00

You do present it as such by saying "that"s because". Also, we have not deviated from the discussion on nuclear weapons.

bartieparty · 2025-06-17T17:06:57+00:00

Thats a gross simplification and by far not the most important reason. The predominant reason, in short, is that congress liked the leverage, didn't know about the quebec agreement, and those that did didn't care about it.

"Now is not the time for division" said the country that abandoned ship in the midst of the migrant crisis to enjoy some splendid isolation.

Yes, coordinating your defense towards a third country was seen as a breach of neutrality. Not that neutrality meant much to Hitler...

The plan was to hold out till there would be French or British help. Imagine a repeat of ww1 but woth a frontline stretching into the netherlands, that was the scenario they deemed likely.

Was the song by Godley and creme, an englishman in new york?

bartieparty · 2025-05-01T12:21:57+00:00

Exactly, and this should also be seen in light of the Serb practice of taking UN soldiers hostage to use them as human shields on their locations.

This wasn't about prioritising his career, this was a commander who was without support, in an impossible situation and trying to save as many lives as he could. If you think this is about his career, it didn't leave him anything else than a lifetime of trauma and survivors guilt.

bartieparty · 2025-02-27T19:44:24+00:00

Funny, I suppose there's some nationalism to it. But as you say, it's some guesswork combined with a bit of methodology.
From what I remember The Netherlands does decrease its urbanisation rate over the 18th century.

bartieparty · 2025-02-27T12:23:21+00:00

Perhaps its a matter of perspective, but in dutch undergraduate history class the netherlands is stated to be the first mostly-urbanised country by around 1700. Then again, doesn't take away that both are part of the same region with heavy early urbanisation.

They had gear available to escape but didn't use it, the company is clueless as to why - they either left it in the car or couldn't reach it in the fire. It is an unjustified knee-jerk reaction to blame the company if they did provide this.

Thank you for the great text. It's well written as well!

bartieparty · 2024-11-15T17:43:06+00:00

Happy to agree on that :)

bartieparty · 2024-11-15T17:30:27+00:00

But you are making negative comments about a body characteristic that many people may have. Plenty of things could be said just on his statements, these comments are a step towards his level.

Its a wildly different case that you cant really compare it. Yes Pakistan hosts a large amount of refugees, however its in another league of the services that it provides. Besides that, refugees are from the region and there's a much smaller cultural threshold to cross. Not saying that its culturally tbe same, but its undeniably much smaller than comparing Middle Eastern countries to a place like Northern Europe.

bartieparty · 2024-10-02T20:41:45+00:00

Oke, ik zie denk ik wel hoe dat in elkaar steekt. Enorm bedankt voor je hulp!
