@Vitens@Just_Cme Bizar.. als zwembad manager dagelijks bezig water. Altijd op zoek naar hoe we water kunnen besparen. Resultaat nieuwe wetgeving voor zwembaden: Veeeeeeel meer waterverbruik!
Hoe zit het eigenlijk met mega grootverbruikers als FrieslandCampina? Ik zou daar mijn focus op leggen.
Elon Musk has doubled down on his attacks on Senator Mark Kelly, insisting he is a “traitor.” Kelly is a 25-year Navy pilot veteran and decorated astronaut.
RETWEET if you stand with @CaptMarkKelly against Elon Musk’s unpatriotic attacks!
Hi Vance,
It's me again - Tina from Denmark 🇩🇰
I heard your speech today. You’ve clearly got a flair for storytelling, but if we’re going to talk about the Arctic, let’s make sure we base it on facts - I think you owe that not just to Greenland, but also to your fellow Americans.
Here’s a key one:
After the Cold War, the United States didn’t just scale back - it dramatically reduced its presence in Greenland, cutting troop levels at Thule Air Base from around 10,000 personnel to just a few hundred. Along the way, responsibility was quietly shifted to Denmark. We didn’t demand it, but we took it on, and we stayed.
We continued to operate within the framework of the 1951 defense agreement, which was a mutual treaty, not a unilateral duty. We welcome America’s renewed attention in the region. There’s a lot we can do together, especially when we start with shared facts and mutual respect.
You’re very welcome to visit.
But let’s be absolutely clear: Greenland is not for sale. It never was - and it never will be. And right now, there’s little evidence that the people of Greenland are lining up to become Americans.
PS: If Carla Sands is behind your Arctic briefing, you might want to request a second opinion. She’s never been known for accuracy when it comes to the Kingdom of Denmark.
WOW. Forward bookings from Canada to the U.S. have fallen by more than 70 percent for each month through the end of September, compared to the same period last year. April has seen the steepest decline, with just 296,000 bookings — down 76 percent from 1.3 million.
And if you think it's only Canadians who no longer want to visit the U.S., you're sorely mistaken. Many Europeans have canceled their planned vacations to the States as well—a trend that will result in a devastating blow worth many billions of dollars to the U.S. economy and cost thousands of Americans their jobs.
Greenland’s Prime Minister, Múte B. Egede, criticized the upcoming visit of Second Lady Usha Vance and White House National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to the island, calling it ‘very aggressive American pressure.’ He added:
‘Until recently, we could trust the Americans, who were our allies and friends, and with whom we enjoyed working closely … But that time is over.’
This might be the moment historians point to as the turning point—the beginning of the end of American global leadership.
When the Vice President of the United States threatens a NATO ally and speaks casually about taking foreign territory as if it’s a Monopoly board, it’s more than just reckless rhetoric. It’s a signal to the world that the people now running U.S. foreign policy have no understanding of how American power was actually built.
They don’t grasp that America’s strength wasn’t just military—it was built on trust, alliances, trade, and decades of strategic consistency. That foundation, laid carefully over 80 years, is now being torn apart by people who treat diplomacy like a PR stunt.
And here’s the reality: once you destroy that trust, you don’t just get it back with a new election or a better speech. You’ve shown the world you’re unstable. Unreliable. No one bets on a partner who flips the table every four years.
This isn’t just short-term damage. It’s existential. The global system the U.S. built is shifting—fast. Europe is moving on. Allies are rearming. China is stepping into the vacuum. And unlike the U.S., Beijing doesn’t self-sabotage.
The next century may not be America’s—because it gave up everything that made it powerful. Willingly. Carelessly. Loudly.
Our allies are now warning their citizens that traveling to the U.S. means they risk being unlawfully arrested. This administration continues to embarrass us. https://t.co/GQtCXWo0wx
