Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni fired back after Trump doubled down on his attacks, telling him that his “constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless” and rejecting his claims about her popularity and Italy’s military cooperation with the United States. “Italy remains a sovereign nation,” Meloni wrote, before ending with a pointed message to Trump: “My popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.”
JD Vance: "My understanding talking to Steve and Jared this morning is that things are going well ... the United States has all the cards. The straits are now open." 🙃

Dan denk je, hoe kan een geheime dienst dit nou ooit overkomen?! Het blijkt dat het steeds lastiger is om als inlichtingendienst je eigen bijzondere afgeschermde infrastructuur in stand te houden. En daarmee doet gewone "schoenenwinkel IT" z'n intrede, en word je ook gehacked, net als de rest.

Sweet. Dutch government needed improved accessibility for its https://social.overheid.nl Mastodon instance. It decided to cofinance this, and the features landed in the brand new 4.6 release. “In this way we invest in our own communication tools and those of the full fediverse at once.”

Nederlandse drone-miljarden voor de ‘kill zones’van Oekraïne. ‘Als jullie dat zouden kunnen financieren, zou dat geweldig zijn’

Oorlog in Oekraïne: Zonder aarzelen stapt Nederland in een dodelijk drone-project van Oekraïne: een frontstrook waarbinnen alles wat Russisch is wordt vernietigd. „Wij leveren het geld. Maar we willen er wel iets voor terug.”

❗️ Update: Undeclared mobilization is increasing in Russia. Roundups have begun in the Penza region.

Residents of Penza, Kuznetsk, and Kamyanka reported that men were detained on the streets, cars and public transport were stopped.

🇩🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺 Merz on EU and membership:

Ukraine is the affected country, and Ukraine ultimately decides who stands at its side and conducts negotiations.

The European Union is not a neutral third party and is not a mediator; rather, it is a party on Ukraine's side.

A country like Ukraine, while at war, cannot become a member of the European Union.

However, it could become an associate member of the European Union and later become a full member of the European Union.
