@tonfvandijk@DefensieMin Het is een grove schande dat niemand van Defensie, minister, staatssecretaris of opperbevelhebber, gisteren aandacht heeft besteed aan D-Day. Niet aan de Nederlanders die deelnamen, niet aan allen die erbij betrokken waren.
Historisch besef is ver te zoeken.
Ter opbeuring 👉
@brianstelter@kwelkernbc The only astonishing part of this interview is Welker keep pushing back on his lies.
His meltdown is totally in line with his demeanor.
Thread:
The 2 Dutch gunboats H.N.M.S Soemba and Flores participated in Operation Neptune. Armed with 3 15cm (5.9") guns they earned the nickname 'Terrible Twins' for their operation in the Mediterranean.
Getting the Soemba ready for D-Day required a peculiar series of messages...
@eelcobvr Pete Hegseth is, net als Trump, in staat elke waardige herdenking van onbaatzuchtige heldenstrijd te ontheiligen door politieke verdeeldheid te zaaien, zelfs op die plek, op dat ereveld in Frankrijk.
@HinckJon We owe your Dad a lot.
Thank you.
I always thought our liberators at the time fought against tyranny and fascism, with no other objective than to set our countries free and decide for ourselves again.
I doubt Hegseth grasps the meaning of that liberty.
D-Day commemoration, Omaha Beach, June 6 2024
Zelensky arrived, the crowd applauded. And then this happened:
🇺🇸 veteran: You’re a saviour of the people
Zelensky: No, no, you saved Europe
🇺🇸 veteran: My hero
Zelensky: No, you are our hero
🇺🇸🇫🇷🇺🇦
@KatieMiller@mobbs_mentality@PeteHegseth You could’ve made the argument that attending the 82 D-Day remembrance in France is a valuable lesson in history and a unique opportunity for his children to witness.
The coast of Normandy, the graves, the silent markings are an enormous impressive sight for everyone.
@AndreasKinnegi1 Hou toch op. Vance wil niks liever dan Europa verdelen en ophitsen, terwijl politie agressie en doden door bv ICE in de VS straffeloos blijven.

This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.
It's hard to know where to even start.
I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1
@DaveScarangella I raise my glass today to his memory.
Without the sacrifices of our allies, bravery of young men such as your father-in-law, we would have suffered from tyranny and nazi occupation much longer.
@MrHarryCole Really? Remind him of the deaths by ICE and the justice not done for Alex Pretti or Renee Good; not one shooting officer faced consequences.
