It's so weird how Putin has repeatedly said both before and during the invasion that he's doing it because he doesn't believe in the existence of Ukraine as a concept and sees Ukraine as rightfully his by virtue of "being Russian" He KEEPS saying it and people STILL blame NATO

There's a growing perception that some media outlets are not presenting facts objectively, sometimes prioritizing sensationalism, bias, or even misinformation. This is very concerning. 👇🏼

Zouden De Standaard en hun werknemers eigenlijk doorhebben wat voor onzin ze al jaren verkondigen of zijn ze collectief van het padje?

GlobalEye is ready to support! 🇸🇪🇫🇷

Veel Europeanen maken over’Europa’ dezelfde denkfout als over Afrika. Ze denken dat het een eengemaakt land is met een algemeen gemeenschappelijk belang. Dat is niet zo. Het is het verschil tussen een theorie in een ideale wereld en praktijk. De kunst van het haalbare is hier

Accurate portrayal of my neurodivergent ass getting overstimulated.

The anti-nuclear hysteria that captured the public imagination for generations has not only contributed significantly to climate change, it has literally been responsible for killing hundreds of millions of people. Still, it is never too late to change course.

Voor wie het moeilijk heeft met veel cijfers in grote tabellen. 🇧🇪 bestedingen aan Defence-only, in de periode 1953-2023. Dus 40 jaar lang bleef 🇧🇪 winnen aan welvaart en welzijn, ondanks 3%+ v/h GDP. (We hadden toen wel minder bestuurslagen, cf. lasagne van General Marc )

Between all these ships you'll also find Belgian and Dutch merchant mariners. They'll keep on doing their job, even going where their national governments won't give their own navies permission to go because "too dangerous" Just like we did in the 80ies, 90ies and 2000s...

And that is why you need a credible Navy and be ready to deploy.

It’s been two years since Oceangate’s Titan submersible imploded at the bottom of the Atlantic, smashing Stockton Rush to a fine paste. I imagine by now ocean currents have spread his atoms far and wide. Does this mean seawater is a homeopathic cure for hubris?
