Ik vind het voor Wierd Duk wel een lange redenering.

If the European welfare state looks like a pyramid scheme, its pharaohs are the “baby boomers”. We explain how the cohort has pulled off an intergenerational heist

Wij zijn helemaal geen joods-christenlijke natie. Ons staatsbestel is gebaseerd op de idealen van de Franse Revolutie. En waarom de SGP steeds het ‘staatrechtelijk geweten’ wordt genoemd is onduidelijk. Die mensen hebben een bijbelse theocratie als ideaal.

American presidents used to be sane. That has changed. (I think this is a more accurate title).

Why does a simple ballroom cost 300 million dollar? LA’s sky mansion cost 300 million, but that is a futuristic building. Trump’s ballroom is 4 walls and a roof, some gold paint and tacky furmiture. Perhaps a professional kitchen and some security features. But 300 million dollar?

Ze weten ook niet zo goed wat academische vrijheid is. Dat beperkt zich tot onderzoek en onderwijs. Wat Pettit in zijn vrije tijd in het publiek debat doet is het geven van zijn privé politieke mening. Daar gaat de universiteit niet over.

One of the strengths of leadership is never to force your own norms on someone else, so the leader is a wise man.

Russia’s hybrid warfare is so much helped by the fact that the president of the USA has no clue about anything.

Bijna bewonderenswaardig hoe Naftaniel erin slaagt te doen alsof Israël níet verantwoordelijk is voor de hel in Gaza en de massale uithongering van een complete bevolking.

Also a legal obligation. The US is still a signatory to the UN-treaty, which forbids agressive war, so any order to seize Greenland is illegal. And since Neurenberg you cannot hide behind an order, you have to establish the legality yourself and refuse to execute when illegal.

Americans have low taxes, but quite a few of them live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford decent healthcare insurance. Your low taxes are only nice for the rich. But yes, you have cheap cars with huge engines. The CO-exhaust might come in handy when you cannot afford your hospital bills anymore.

No, Georgia is not an EU-member and even if it were it would not be binding because the organization of elections are a national matter. It could theoretically have consequences for its EU candidate membership.

"The social democracies created in Europe after World War II... were based on an understanding that capitalism, left to its devices, can dig its own grave, as it did so well in the interwar period. But that lesson has been forgotten." -Omer Bartov www.nybooks.com/online/2024/...
