Well I tried my best to ignore the amount of BS that some of you post here, and I’ll keep doing it since it’s not worth my time and effort, only writing this because this is a video from earlier this year during the anti Netanyahu assemblies and the guy was arrested and sentenced to jail time, so how Ben gvir is related? And  posting shit load of BS does not make you smarter by any means

Milei is going to be the last nail in Argentina's coffin. Talk about getting out of a bad situation choosing the absolute worst possible option.

 

It pains me to even imagine what Argentina will become in the next few years, but it will be a lot more painful to actually watch it happen before my eyes. May God help them, even though God is not responsible for their bad choices.

God told Milei to get into politics (according to Milei's own account), so obviously you are wrong.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Miss Curaçao used this weekend’s Miss Universe Pageant to make a political statement about her territory’s lack of representation at the Olympics.

 

:FRO:CUW definitely trying to keep pressure on the IOC when it comes to Olympics representation.

Latest polls for tomorrow's Dutch elections, probably the last ones before the actual elections (this one is a combination of the two main 'poll providers'). Geert Wilders (that blonde right-wing guy) getting dangerously close to the top. Meanwhile the FvD leader (conspiracy nut and right wing nationalist Thierry Baudet) got a whack on the head with a beer bottle yesterday, after being hit with an umbrella earlier this month. Attacks on any politician are bad, obviously, but hopefully this doesn't lead to extra sympathy votes or something :p 

 

Meanwhile I still haven't been able to make my choice. I wrote down the entire list of 27 parties and am now in the process of eliminating them one by one for various reasons (one wants to stop supporting Ukraine, so bye, another is the strictly religious party, so bye, another is Turkey's party, so bye, conspiracy nuts, bye, etc), hopefully I can get it down to 4-5 or so and make my choice a bit easier...

Too much risk involved if this opens the door for let's say autonomous Russian republics to be allowed in the same manner. No need to touch those colonial era relicts to create more problems. If Greenland is fine showing up under Denmark's flag then Faroe Islands don't have much choice either.

Well, you can sign a big X on Volt :p

 

On a more serious note, the Dutch electoral and political system is the most democratic and representative in the entire European Union. Many other countries should take inspiration... While in Italy we are making a big U-turn, effectively proposing a maxi-majority with the direct election of the prime minister, something that only existed in Israel.

    • @bestmen Look, I've been reading your comments regarding Russia for quite some time, and I don't want to bite my tongue this time.   First, context matters. I agree with @copravolley. It’s not an insult to say that people who don’t live near Russia often underestimate what this war actually means for Europe. Out of the three of us, I can say with certainty that I feel the most directly affected by and concerned about this war.   In the same way I wouldn’t share my opinions on Africans and the conflicts on their continent, or lecture Palestinians about the war in Gaza, it’s reasonable to listen first when Europeans explain why this is not just a political disagreement that happens to block Russian athletes from competing, but an ongoing war of aggression that doesn’t only affect Ukraine, but also countless other countries located nearby with a long and dramatic history of communism and Russian influence. To make it clear, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However, you have repeatedly pushed the same narrative about the supposed injustice towards Russian competitors.   Second of all, the claim that Russian athletes have nothing to do with politics is blatantly wrong. It's a lie, and you know it. Countless Russians are actively supporting the crimes that Russia is committing on Ukrainian soil, advocating for further military operations, and show little to no remorse. Many Russians supported Putin throughout his presidential campaigns and continued doing so even after the invasion. Just look at their public statements made over the past three years. They are expected to align with the state’s narrative. That’s not an individual moral judgment, it’s how the system works.   Major Russian sports clubs are directly linked to or derived from the military. Hockey players wear war symbols and slogans on their jerseys, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Russian sports and politics are two sides of the same coin, closely related ever since the state began pouring money into centralised doping programs and sporting propaganda. Bringing up Netanyahu or Israeli doping is pretty much just whataboutism. If there is proven, systematic wrongdoing in sport, it should be addressed through proper investigations and sanctions. That does not magically erase or excuse Russia’s actions, nor does it justify pretending this war doesn’t exist when it becomes inconvenient.

    • Slovakia pulled the goalie out in the Overtime and played 4 vs 3  for more than 2 minutes    We suddeenly pulled out goalie and have control of the puck for like 2 minutes in the first 2 minutes of the overtime but without soring than lost the puck and give up a 2 on 0 breakaway empty net goal for the czechs    Interesting strategy 
    • The doomongering made what I post on here seem positive. Everything possible to go wrong was predicted fo go wrong.
