  • PVV stapt uit de coalitie

    Jump

  • Het is een stuk makkelijker om mensen van iets te overtuigen als je leugens en halve waarheden verspreidt - links verliest (o.a.) omdat links deugt. Ik ben blij dat de linkse partijen zich niet verlagen tot het populistische gedoe dat de pvv groot heeft gemaakt.

  • Als de laatste peilingen ongeveer de uitslag zijn en de vvd niet langer met de pvv wil samenwerken (wat ik hoop maar niet verwacht), kunnen ze eigenlijk niet om pvda-groenlinks heen. Als pvda-groenlinks de grootste wordt en weigert met pvv samen te werken, kunnen zij eigenlijk ook niet om vvd heen.

    Ik hoop dat, als het zo ver komt, vvd tussen die twee kaden (vanuit hun perspectief) kiest voor samenwerken met een partij met andere waarden en normen die wel bereid is zich in te zetten in het landsbelang dan dat ze nog een keer kiezen voor samenwerken met een partij met vergelijkbare waarden en normen die zich niet inzet voor het landsbelang.

  • Artificial intelligence threatens to raid the water reserves of Europe’s driest regions

  • I read the headline and thought this is just an article of crazy shit ai says, then I saw it was from Reuters and got confused. Apparently they mean 'the ai industry' and not 'an ai chatbot' is threatening the eu:

    The EU wants to compete with the U.S. and China on artificial intelligence. But critics say policymakers haven't planned for the sector's extreme water demand.

  • San Francisco life coach arrested on suspicion of killing four men

  • Is your life full of problems? Call life coach Sauntek Harris now and he'll get it fixed straight away! /s

    Apparently these murders happened between 2002 and 2009 so maybe he just felt like doing something else for a change, leave the murdering behind him and became a life coach instead. I guess neither of those require a degree.

  • When referring to Europe by US media, I totally understand what kind of Europe this article refers to but my point is that geography means something different when talking about Europe and I think that is relevant since for example Hungary or Serbia are in the context of the title part of Europe but are also more and more political 'outsiders'. I think this point similar to someone from Canada that America is not only the US.

  • Europe Sees China-Russia Threat as World’s ‘Greatest Challenge’

  • Not by EU institutions, but there has been a lot of effort to control various African countries by European countries. Again I don't really know about Spain and Portugal, but it is widely known France has continued to militarily back governments it favoured after they gained independence and also had major economic influence through their currency (more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFA_franc).

    I wasn't referring to countries with white minorities, I meant England still holds power (Although not very hard power) over former colonies with white majorities such as Canada, Australia and NZ but much less so in former colonies where the original inhabitants have power (such as India and pakistan).

    Yes these countries are their own nations now, but it seems not easy to let go. Not just on a government level but also private wealth and public companies still have business related to colonial times.

    We are moving in the right directions but if you were to interview people in these former colonies a lot of them will tell you we are not there yet. Not only is the damage not fully repaired (if this is even possible), there is still influence happening. Although less and less, since for example the current Mali government kicked out the French military in favour of Russian soldiers.

  • I used to think two big ego's sooner or later start fighting, even if they have been friends a very long time. Trump made me doubt it a little, but looks like it still holds true.

  • I do agree on this argument, China never was an ally to India or Taiwan.

  • I don't think Europe ever even attempted to repair the dammage we did. But to be fair I don't really know how that could be done.

    We do all have different strategies, England went 'well if a part is white we can keep control', France went 'well if a part is poor we can keep control' and the Netherlands and Belgium went 'well as long as it doesn't cost us money we don't need to be in control' don't know about Portugal and Spain but seems eu relationship with Latin America is in a better state than eu relationship with France Afrique.

  • Agree, this is totally bonkers and a year ago it would be too crazy to possible be from the onion but there hasn't really been a grey area where this could've been because the shock was so big. We all know this is just regular American politics nowadays and this isn't a community about messed up politics.

  • The Kyiv Independent is quite biased (rightly so), but the historian they interviewed is not just somebody with an opinion:

    Timothy Garton Ash

    British historian and author (born 1955)

    Timothy Garton Ash CMG FRSA FRHistS FRSL (born 12 July 1955) is a British historian, author and commentator. He is Professor of European Studies at the University of Oxford. Most of his work has been concerned with the contemporary history of Europe, with a special focus on Central and Eastern Europe.

    He has written about the former Communist regimes of that region, their experience with the secret police, the Revolutions of 1989, and the transformation of the former Eastern Bloc states into member states of the European Union. He has also examined the role of Europe in the world and the challenge of combining political freedom and diversity, especially in relation to free speech. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Garton_Ash

  • Yes obviously, but whether a country is European is decided by geography not values.

  • Is it me or is FT sliding further into Fox News territory? There was a time I considered them a good source of information but lately I'm questioning a lot of their journalism. Might be because I don't visit their website and communities like this skew my view but damn they look more and more maga crazy from my pov.
