It's understandable, also if you disagree, that Europe is careful in direct confrontation with Russia, a nucleair dictatorship with a big army, at a moment US became unreliable. We should support Ukraine more, but suggesting oil makes France sending equipment and troops is superficial.

Oekraine wordt vermoord en verkracht. Jullie reactie: Oh nee, geen wapens. Dat betekent dat Oekraine zich maar moet overgeven aan een wrede dictator die uit is op meer.

True, and perhaps they should have done. But I understand the hesitation to become more directly involved in Russia's war and wonder if that would have jeopardized popular support for helping Ukraine...

Nederland heft minste belasting op vermogensinkomsten van alle EU-landen! Dit rechtse beleid is in belang van de grootste vermogens, de rekening komt weer terecht bij gewone (werkende) mensen. Kies voor het algemeen belang: Stop de subsidie op vermogen, verlaag de belasting op werk!

Het is onbekend hoeveel Tesla heeft uitgegeven om vakbondsmensen uit te saneren (uitkoopregelingen). Maar geld maakt Tesla niks uit als ze de vakbonden maar kunnen kaltstellen. Hebben we in de gaten wat voor een bedrijf Tesla is..? Waarom reageren we niet verontwaardigd (met bv een kopersstaking)?

Last night Ukraine could not intercept a single Russian ballistic missile. The USA deliberately starving Ukraine of Patriot missiles is now clearly understood by the Russians as American support for their terror bombing. The USA is helping Putin kill Ukrainians.

JD Vance urging the Ukrainians to be defensive is peak pro-Putin lobbying by the Trump administration. Now that Ukraine is doing better than they ever imagined, they want Ukraine to back off and take a deal Putin would go for. Nothing has changed. The US is with Russia.
