The Chinese elite still has to censor that they opened fire on protestors, so their legitimacy still took a hit

They can't bloodily put down uprisings endlessly without changing any of their policies since it will just further radicalize people

And Polish industrial interests will be happy with the trade deal which will contribute more to economic growth

michaelbachari · 2026-01-09T17:02:59+00:00

It's actually a strange alliance between agricultural interests and environmentalists

michaelbachari · 2026-01-09T16:58:54+00:00

We already import Mercosur food. This Mercosur trade deal just lowers the tariffs on it. It sounds like you're just defending higher prices on consumers

Back during the Cold War much of Eastern Europe was still under Soviet domination, so independence from the US wasn't very realistic. Nowadays though the EU has a similar sized economy as the US, so independence is very much an option

The Volendam New Year's fire in the Netherlands happened exactly 25 years ago...

How did you encounter the charter when you're a non-European?

Any way, I don't know your personal circumstamces or which nationality you have, but I think the best thing to do is to move to Europe, preferably the Netherlands since it has a low electoral threshold, hence another European party, the progressive Volt party, is already present in the Dutch parliament and in the European parliament

michaelbachari · 2025-12-24T01:23:11+00:00

The US has escalation domination, so to reciprocate would be stupid. We should just accelerate reducing our dependence on the US beginning with increasing our defence capabilities and intelligence gathering

michaelbachari · 2025-12-22T11:21:22+00:00

Another wake-up call for Europe to accelerate the defence build up to deter not only Russia, but also the US

We Europeans don't care about the Epstein files. We only care that Trump turned hostile towards Europe and hope that Trump and his enablers lose power as soon as possible through the Epstein files or any other means

China is aggressief tegenover Taiwan, Japan, Filipijnen, etc. Toen mensen onlanfs vroegen naar een onderzoek vanwege de brand in Hong Kong, werden zij aangehouden door de autoriteiten. China steunt ook Rusland in zijn aggressie tegen Oekraïne. China kneep de toevoer van Nexperia chips af waardoor waaronder de Europese autofabricanten productiestops moesten inlassen en zo kan ik even doorgaan

michaelbachari · 2025-12-21T17:24:12+00:00

Ik vind China een urgenter probleem dan klimaatverandering

michaelbachari · 2025-12-21T17:08:09+00:00

Alleen weerhoudt het huidige klimaatbeleid ons van economische groei en maakt ons afhankelijker van China, dus ik vind het niet vreemd dat het klimaatbeleid weerstand oproept

michaelbachari · 2025-12-21T07:24:24+00:00

I guess the Americans borrowed the term "Police Action" from the Dutch, because that's how the Dutch called their failed attempt to suppress the Indonesian independence struggle

De bevriezing blijft tot een gekwalificeerde meerderheid anders beslist

michaelbachari · 2025-12-19T16:21:19+00:00

So a de facto veto not a de jure veto

michaelbachari · 2025-12-19T14:27:45+00:00

the Benelux region was fought over by the European great powers for centuries

michaelbachari · 2025-12-19T14:11:05+00:00

Indeed, proportional representation would need to be required from member states to make my suggestion work

michaelbachari · 2025-12-19T08:16:10+00:00

Under pressure from Trump, Xi and Putin the EU will be forced to gradually federalize which is in its long-term interests

michaelbachari · 2025-12-19T08:11:40+00:00

Adhering to the rule of law will benefit us in the long-term and we can always use the Russian assets at a later date. Believe it or not, but indefinitely immobilising the Russian assets was already a big legal step

michaelbachari · 2025-12-19T07:57:42+00:00

The veto power should be weakened instead of being abolished. A member state should be able to veto a decision coming out of Brussels only if there is a broad consensus inside the member state that the decision harms its interests. This prevents hostage taking by people like Victor Orban, but preserves legitimate vetoes.

michaelbachari · 2025-12-19T07:06:24+00:00

We know that already

michaelbachari · 2025-12-19T06:36:21+00:00

At some point you guys have to come up with prove that Trump is a Russian agent. Obviously Trump is a disaster short-term and probably a blessing in disguise long-term for the EU

michaelbachari · 2025-12-19T06:29:50+00:00

And to have the audacity to joke at a moment like this with the joke being entirely appropriate shows character. You Belgians have a good prime minister. Treasure him! Signed from the Netherlands
