NATO never “stayed a little back!” After 9/11, allies, including Latvia, deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq and served alongside U.S. forces. If reading isn’t Trump’s thing, maybe watching The Outpost (2019) would help him better understand the contribution of NATO partners.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."
@saliktengriba Kāpēc pēkšņi tā ir problēma, ja pēdējos 7 gadus tur vienmēr ir reklāma? Šogad mājai atjaunoja fasādi un uzliks reklāmu atpakaļ. Taisa traci, kur tā nav.
Liels prieks redzēt Latviju kā vienu no EDSO atbalstītājām. Šī platforma ir nozīmīga tik daudz dažādos līmeņos, bet šonedēļ es īpaši novērtēju tās ieguldījumu jauno profesionāļu apmācīšanā drošības stiprinošas jomā, esot vienai no 50 dalībniecēm programmā “Mieram un drošībai”.

@annijal@tofikblogs Man šķiet, ka tas ir tādēļ, ka par to bija liela ažiotāža. Tieši par ēdiena izšķiešanu. Jo man gan bērnudārza, gan sākumskolā bija, bet labi atceros skolotāju un vecāku sarunas par šo tēmu.

🥹 11-year-old Danish boy becomes the first foreigner to receive the “Future of Ukraine” award
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky presented the honorary award to Jens Thomsen — a schoolboy who has been handcrafting Easter decorations since last year, selling them and donating the proceeds to help Ukrainian children.
Over the past year, the boy raised more than 34,000 Danish kroner and used the funds to buy backpacks and school supplies for children affected by the war.
“Huge thanks to Jens — from all our people, from the children of Ukraine,” Zelensky wrote.
In honor of Eurovision today, please enjoy Georgia's 2009 submission "We Don't Want to Put In" (We Don't Want Putin), which was disqualified after judges figured out the chorus was calling for Putin's assassination.
