Ik mocht vanochtend (last minute) uitleg geven voor @bnr.nl over het nieuwe rapport van Topsector Energie. 22 experts hebben zich gebogen over de urgente vraag hoe we de Nederlandse energievoorziening asap onafhankelijk en veilig krijgen. Acuut brede samenwerking nodig: www.bnr.nl/nieuws/duurz...

Afgelopen donderdag overleed Sytse Faber (CDA). In 2022 schreef hij: 'Westerlingen zijn geen speciale menssoort met een democratie-gen in het lijf. Ze zijn in staat, zo leert de geschiedenis, door verkiezingen de democratie naar de barrebiesjes te helpen.' Dat was verstandige praat.

The main reason not to trust Russians, explained by Harry Truman. “Do you trust the Russians?” “No. Period.” “Why?” “Because they broke every agreement they ever made with me.”

The Serbian people felt inspired by the Hungarians just like Americans can now take inspiration from the people of Brazil AND Serbia AND Hungary. Beating authoritarianism is possible - also uphill!

“The powerful can kill one, two, or 100 roses. But they’ll never stop the arrival of spring.” — Lula What an extraordinary victory for Brazil! The Brazilians beat back fascism at the ballot box. We can damn well do it here, too. VOTE!

@maddowblog.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social This story is getting zero play on MSNOW. ZERO. And it's everything.

Dear Alaskans, please read this:

Murdered #Ukraine children, abducted and tortured civilians that tRump spits on by making 'deals' with russia khpg.org/en/1608816125

The StarLink/StarShield coverage furnished to Ukraine is under arrangements with the German government, which pays for them. Germany has just learned the hard way that Elon Musk is not a reliable contract partner. puck.news/who-really-p...

"And they're hoping you don't notice."

Why did this story not yet break in the US? Evidence from Dutch military intelligence that Jared Kushner is heavily compromised BY THE VERY RUSSIANS HE'S "NEGOTIATING" WITH. They had his phone since 2017. Every detail! I know you folks have a lot of noise in your 24h news cycle, but this one is big!

Stating the obvious: as the Russian secret service (just like the Dutch) had access to Kushner's phone, possibly for years, Kushner should not be a negotiator/'deal maker' with Russia(!)

NEW: The Kremlin's seeming interest in negotiations aims not to end the war in Ukraine but rather to secure economic concessions from the United States such that Russia can continue funding its war. 🧵(1/8) Read more: isw.pub/UkrWar102226

The oil prices only know one way and this is up. They have climbed continuously in October. Trump’s announcement regarding the minuscule Russian promise has not even dented that, predictably. The Strait of Hormuz is severely disrupted and the Iranian regime plays Trump like a fiddle.

Call me old fashioned, but I think this story deserves broad attention in the US. Yes, corruption, 750 mln, etc. But please also note Moscow too could read Kushner's phone, possibly for years. Imagine everything else the Russians found & are currently using against Kushner during his 'negotiations'!

Wow! Summary for Americans: Dutch military intelligence could read Jared Kushner's iPhone since 2017 (after THEY HAD CAUGHT A RUSSIAN SPY WITH ACCESS!) and saw hundreds of millions of bribe money flowing in! Translate this from Dutch national broadcaster: nos.nl/artikel/2636...

Brilliant cartoon...

Every American should know how Trump & Musk are sticking knives in the back of Ukraine: 1. Russians are openly celebrating Ukraine's drones suddenly can't defend the front, citing Starlink slowdown. 2. Meanwhile they murdered this baby girl & her mother at a playground, as air defense is also gone.

The level of frustration that decent Americans must be feeling about this evil clown circus...

Invasion, mass murder, rape, kidnapping of children - all fine

Wow — 🔥 Neil Bush: “I voted for @jamestalarico.bsky.social… Trump and those who have enabled him have done enormous damage to the Republican Party… Character matters more than party affiliation.”

Dit zijn wapens waar Oekraïners mee worden beschermd en o.a. Nederland voor heeft betaald. Het is je reinste diefstal van de VS en zou op z’n minst het ontbinden van de ambassadeur moeten betekenen. Maar straks zit er weer zo’n VVD daap aan tafel zit te oreren dat de trans-Atlantische onmisbaar is.

Woest word ik van deze onverschillige, waardeloze roofdieren. Hun harteloze, op geld gerichte machtshonger over de rug van Oekraïense burgers is ver buiten schaamteloos. Er is niks dat ons ervan weerhoudt om los van hen te komen, behalve politiek leiderschap. Een draadje 🧵 1/7

1/ The Musk-Trump decision to degrade Ukraine's Starlink access as a pressure tactic is a disaster not just for the United States' reputation but for the entire US defence industry. Musk's action may end up burning the whole industry. ⬇️

Ah yes, Trump is lying about the Strait of Hormuz. Plus here's a fun graph for everyone who's affected: high diesel prices in the US are 100% caused by the (lost) war with Iran.

"Voer geen vertrouwelijke gesprekken in je eigen auto." We zijn serieus zo ver dat dat een officieel advies is van de AIVD. Overigens nog een reden om in elk geval geen Chinese of Amerikaanse (Tesla) auto's te kopen. www.bnnvara.nl/kassa/artike...

Absolutely. This is strategy. Openly talk of a future for Russians after Putin.

This is Kharkiv today. Bodies lying in the street after a russian drone strike on a market. Two people were killed. More than 10 others were injured. #Ukraine #Ukrainianview

Trump has now FULLY taken Putin’s evil side in the War against Ukraine. So… VOTE every fucking republican OUT, this November! Any Questions?! TRUMP. IS. PUTIN’S. PUPPET. 😎🇺🇸✨

Texas Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate James Talarico: We need to strengthen Ukraine.We need to strengthen our NATO allies as they stand up to Russ aggression so we don't have to…I see this as a cost-saving measure.If we can stop…Putin in Ukraine,then we're not going to have to stop him elsewhere

Yes, let's not forget that Epstein flew several times to Moscow to transfer the most incriminating images of Donald Trump with underaged victims. That's why Trump will always work for Russia and obey Putin. The American voters should be so ashamed that they too are betrayed so horrendously.

It’s hard to think of a better definition of a traitor to the West than someone who deliberately sabotages a European democracy’s military operation against a barbaric Russian invasion.

Example 450,789 that Europe is STILL sleeping 👇 We should have had a Starlink alternative developed and operational by now.

So what now Trump? Your "energy ceasefire" is seriously only for the victim - your murder buddy Putin can just go on? Plainly showing yourself as both a traitor and a fool is not a smart move, going into the elections.

Trump & Musk are now actively trying to break Ukraine's defense to help Putin/Russia 👇 This betrayal is fundamentally un-American and opposed by the vast majority of the American people. American voters should speak out en masse!

Energy & Climate Reporters, my new Starter Pack! go.bsky.app/4uS575R Far from matured, but nice already. No idea why only men made it to the title page, or how I can change that... Suggestions welcome.

My homeland is leading the world right now.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Britain to speed up delivery of LMM missiles to Ukraine against jet Shaheds and prepare new sanctions against Russia As part of the new £45 million package, the delivery of anti-aircraft missiles will be accelerated by £10 million to cover Ukraine's most urgent needs in the winter.

"While asking NOTHING from Russia in exchange."

Vladimir Putin wants a divided Europe to weaken us. We cannot let him win. For the sake of our own security, we need to rejoin the EU.
