Is dit echt een gezagscrisis? Als psychiater kijk ik anders naar de rellen van nieuwjaarsnacht. Gedrag wordt niet gestuurd door morele oproepen of regels, maar door daadwerkelijk ervaren consequenties.
Wat we zien is ontremd groepsgedrag in een context waarin de pakkans laag voelt, sancties laat of symbolisch zijn en de directe beloning (spanning, status, ontlading) hoog is.
Als gezag niet wordt geïnternaliseerd en macht geen directe gevolgen heeft, zie je een crisis van gedragsregulatie. Meer regels of morele verontwaardiging lossen dit niet op. Snelle, consistente en proportionele consequenties wel
The amount of hate and disinformation about the European Union that is being spread en masse on X these days proves Ursula von der Leyen right. Organized hostile forces are only seeking to destabilize the EU under the guise of freedom of expression. They fear us.

#Logistiek is de slagader van militaire operaties - en MilMob draagt bij tot de flexibiliteit en daadkracht ervan!

Europe has real, meaningful economic leverage over Russia. Don’t fail to use it. How Europe can hurt Russia’s economy (from @TheEconomist) https://t.co/zLE9zfS3Im
🚨🚨 High-level Trump sources tell me the White House is now uncertain if they can get the Russians and Ukrainians to stop fighting because this episode with @ZelenskyyUa raised questions about whether he can move forward toward a peace deal. It also raises questions about whether US will pause aid to Ukraine. But Trump is NOT seeking regime change in Ukraine. No discussions about who in Ukraine might be a better leader than Zelenskyy.
Ukrainian officials have reached out this afternoon to senior White House officials desperate to get the deal back on track. But that will not happen today, I'm told. Trump is unwilling to talk to Zelenskyy further today.
When Rubio and Waltz went into the Roosevelt Room to ask Zelenskyy to leave, Rubio made it clear that any further engagements today would be counterproductive. Waltz told Zelenskyy he had made a tremendous mistake, and it was a grave disservice to Ukraine and to Americans, both.
No phone calls between Trump and Putin have been scheduled. But multiple European officials have called top Trump officials since Zelenskyy left asking how the minerals deal can be salvaged.
Trump fully intended to sign the minerals deal today. Two official binders were prepared -- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and his Ukrainian counterpart and the two presidents were going to sit at a conference table in the East Room and then trumpet their success at podiums.
But there were suspicions before Zelenskyy arrived today that it might fall apart. Because the Trump admin had been pushing for weeks for a minerals deal signing at the ministerial level, and Ukraine had refused. Zelenskyy wanted security guarantees.
US officials thought negotiations would be much harder with **Putin** so today have been been in disbelief that it has been Zelenskyy who has been more difficult, making maximalist demands, sources told me.
