@WhiteHouse Everytime you think you guys can't go any lower they manage to surprise us any way!

[Michael @Michael_I85]

@DonaldJTrumpJr Independent thinking yet throwing in everything to interfere with foreign elections so you can continue trying to run your own and Russia their agenda into Europe. You destroyed all relations with your in the past loyal allies and now cry it's your only connection in Europe.

[Moritz Körner @moritzkoerner]

Mr. Orban, you are not a patriot. You are just a useful idiot of Russia and China.

Rutte is at the White House today. On the agenda: whether America stays in NATO.

For the first time, I find myself thinking: maybe it’s fine either way.

Trump’s America is not the America that built the alliance. This version threatens its oldest friends, lies compulsively, and calls the countries that housed its troops and buried its soldiers freeloaders. That America is a nasty, corrupt, dishonest place that has spent a year spitting on everyone who ever had its back.

Europe will be fine. It is rearming. It is unifying. Russia has been ground into pieces and bled white. NATO can do this job without Washington if it has to.

So if Trump wants to leave, the door is open.

Au revoir. Auf Wiedersehen. Ha det bra.

You came. You bombed Iran for 40 days. You ran out of missiles. You called it a masterclass. You lost. And with Trump you look weak.

A banana republic with aircraft carriers. What a way to go.

@WhiteHouse Not according to all your press conferences
And why was this already won 14 times?

[Michael @Michael_I85]

@Daanklxxs Heel veel sterkte! Je steun en toeverlaat 😢 wat een moeilijke beslissing.

[Dispropaganda @Dispropoganda]

Without the USA, NATO has

2,000,000 active-duty soldiers,

9,000+ military aircraft,

and over 1,700 military ships.

No one in NATO needs an unreliable ally compromised by both Russia and Israel.

It is important to understand the logic of Europeans when they say “no” to Trump, who is trying to convince them that the war in Iran is their war.
Former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe Michel Yakovleff explains:
Five reasons to say “no”:
First. If this is a NATO operation, then it must truly be a NATO operation — unified, with a single command, clear logic, and where “everyone does their part.”
Second. Allies are not a backup dance crew.
If you want to involve the Alliance, put a clear strategy and end goal on the table. Not improvisation or statements that change every five minutes — but an actual strategy.
Third. This is not about ships or soldiers. Not even about mine-clearing vessels. It is about political risk that someone is trying to simply spread across allies.
Fourth. Trust. If you have already abandoned partners before, as happened with Afghanistan, why should this time be any different?
Fifth. The strongest metaphor: “This is not the time to buy cheap tickets for the Titanic.”
And one more important point that is implied between the lines: you cannot reinforce failure.
This, by the way, is a very American kind of logic.
The conclusion is simple and somewhat obvious: the world is increasingly unwilling to adapt to Trump’s chaotic decisions. And respect cannot be demanded — it is either earned or it isn’t.

4.A defense secretary with no defense experience
5.Withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. Again.
6.Gutting USAID while calling it efficiency
7.The trade war with Canada
8.Recognizing Crimea as Russian territory
9.Pulling out of the WHO during a health crisis
10.Threatening to leave NATO
11.Cosying up to every autocrat with a decent golf course
12.The collapse of US soft power in under 90 days
13.Alienating the EU faster than Brexit managed
14.Signal-gating classified war plans to a journalist
15.Deploying the military to arrest migrants at the border
16.Defunding public broadcasting
17.Handing Elon Musk the keys to federal spending
18.Ending birthright citizenship by executive order
19.Firing the inspectors general who were watching all of the above
20.And now – a war in Iran nobody asked for, going exactly as well as you’d expect
You’re welcome, world.

@atrupar Pull out NATO and give up all your European bases, it's as much strategic thinking as has been put in this whole Iran war

[THE ISLANDER @IslanderWORLD]

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷 The New York Times confirmed it. In the Oval Office last week, a frustrated Donald Trump pressed General Dan Caine Chairman of the Joint Chiefs — demanding to know why the United States cannot immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The answer was simple. They can’t.

The Wall Street Journal had already reported Trump ignored Caine’s warnings before the war about exactly this. Karoline Leavitt called it “PREPOSTEROUS.” Senator Chris Murphy walked out of a classified briefing and said simply: “They had NO PLAN.”
So here is the sequence. Netanyahu orders his apprentice to launch the war. MBS makes the phone calls. Trump launches it on their behalf with America’s military, America’s money and America’s soldiers. Caine warns him about the strait. He ignores it. The strait closes. He begs Russia and China (China gets 6.6% of its energy through Hormuz but is still getting their ships through) and is now threatening to delay his Beijing summit over it.

He begs France, Japan, South Korea, the UK. Nobody comes. He goes on Israeli television to say it’s not America’s problem. While he sits in the Oval Office shouting at his own general asking why he can’t fix the thing he was warned not to break.

This is the Epstein coalition’s war of choice. And it’s going brilliantly.

@Magyar1951 @reint_veen @johannesmkx En nergens in het artikel word een word gesproken over moslims. Geweldig toch hoe een artikel volledig uit zijn verband getrokken word en als propaganda word gebruikt om bepaalde doelgroepen als zondebok aan te wijzen.

[Michael @Michael_I85]

@B_l_lin @reint_veen @johannesmkx Waar schrijft hij dit..in zijn post schuift hij deze tragedie toch wel degelijk in de schoenen van migranten door een link te maken met migratie en woningtekort.

[Michael @Michael_I85]

@johannesmkx Just another post to make immigrants the problem.

[Michael @Michael_I85]

@johannesmkx Would have expected a more honest post from a well educated person. Your post makes false assumptions. There is no mention of the suïcide due to the eviction (I agree it seems likely). There is no mention they live there due to housing shortage (but it's plausible).

[Michael @Michael_I85]

@Polit1cswithM @johannesmkx Exactly with no mention of the elderly couple living there due to housing shortage.

@ILA_NewsX You can't count what's not released and has been reacted 🤡
