Er waren geen rellen, er was geen vandalisme. Er was alleen een hele grote groep mensen met rode kleren aan, om de rode lijn te symboliseren die dit kabinet maar niet wil trekken. De demonstratie in Den Haag afgelopen zondag was een uiting van hoe democratie werkt: uiting geven aan je mening, opkomen voor de ander die zich niet kan uitspreken en het tonen van medemenselijkheid.⁠ Dit vindt NRC: https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/05/19/het-is-onfatsoenlijk-als-het-kabinet-niet-reageert-op-de-rode-lijn-demonstratie-a4893869?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_term=20250520

Wat vindt NRC | Het is onfatsoenlijk als het kabinet niet reageert op de rode-lijn-demonstratie

#Russia has “turned the #Ukraine #war into a global conflict,” #Macron said.

The French president continued: “Russia is continuing to arm, spending more than 40% of its budget to that end.

“By 2030, Russia plans to increase its army to have 300,000 additional soldiers, 3,000 extra jet fighters - who can believe that in this context, Russia will stop at Ukraine?

“Russia has become & will remain a threat to #France & #Europe.”

Macron added: “To remain a spectator would be folly.”

PM Starmer issued a stern warning to Trump and put the British Parliament on its ear

#Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer has lambasted the US president:

"One mineral deal is not enough. But I can remind him: Russia is an aggressor, President Zelenskyy is a military leader whose country has been invaded. And we should all support him, not fawn before Putin!"

One can endlessly watch three things: how the fire burns, how the water flows and how lively and loud the proceedings in the British Parliament.

Thank you, UK! 🇬🇧

Whenever I walk past a Tesla, I know it might be recording me, can be used to identify me, using its multitude of cameras and other sensors that stream everything to the mothership when in the so-called Sentry mode. Why do we accept this invasion of privacy? Why is it even allowed? And what do other car companies do?

Russia, always the innocent victim, bravely ‘defending itself’—by invading its neighbors. Poland (1939), Finland (1939), Hungary (1956), Czechoslovakia (1968), Afghanistan (1979), Georgia (2008), Ukraine (2014, 2022). Must be exhausting, being ‘provoked’ for centuries. Maybe the world should stop falling for the same excuse?
