@afneil Surely the British Govt can't go through with the State visit charade for Trump, it's going to be cringeworthy looking on through the false smile of etiquette

@afneil The USA is distancing itself from Europes self harm. if europe wants to run nato then crack on. Russia offers a larger straregic & financial advantage to USA right now.

@afneil Cancel the state visit... Do not, roll out the red carpet for these gangsters

@afneil I thought the clearest point from it was to underline just how dead Pax Americana is. 80 years. Gone. Not clear what’s replacing it but sounds like some sort of military contractor for hire option. What’s in it for the US financially, rather than ideologically.

@afneil You are missing the fact that they are organising a protection racket with Russia. Russia arms Houthis and gives them intelligence to strike ships, the US pretends to "fight" them and sends Europe a bill.

By far the most interesting revelation from this omnishambles is the visceral anti-Europeanism of the most senior people in Trump’s government. JD Vance argues against attacking the Houthis because it only helps Europe, whose trade depends much more on the Suez Canal than

@CJCHowarth Remind me. You are referring to American intervention against British-French intervention in 1956?

CNN put together a collection of clips of various Trump officials who were on the signal chat criticizing Hillary Clinton’s email server

@ImaNoob4real @Acyn He didn’t share the actually sensitive details, and there is a very high legal bar to curtailing freedom of speech, even when there is highly confidential information involved. SCOTUS ruled on this in New York Times v United States (1971).

@ImaNoob4real @Acyn What specific secret details did he share that were beyond public knowledge after the bombings 8 days ago? In fact, he intentionally kept specifics out of it as a matter of national security. More than can be said of the natsec officials who seem to have been far more cavalier.

@ImaNoob4real @Acyn Nah, cause the journalist was more responsible than cabinet and left those parts out of his article.

Europeans' belief in the importance of the EU has surged to record levels, according to a survey released yesterday. 74% now say their country benefits from being in 🇪🇺 - up from 50% in 2010. And the biggest reason is about security, *not* the economy. https://t.co/WttZcnRmY7

The PMs of Italy & Spain may be claiming that their citizens don't support the EU becoming a hard power, but the survey shows this isn't true for Europe as a whole. 2/3 of Europeans want the EU to play a greater role in their protection. Defence & security is the *top* priority

De NOS meldt nu op @NPORadio1 dat schaakboksen iets nieuws zou zijn… maar daar had het NOS Journaal in 2017 al een item over, toen in Paradiso schaakboksen in NL werd geïntroduceerd. Ik weet dat, want was er bij. Was fenomenaal. Hans Bohm en Arnold Vanderlyde die coachten enzo..

Eigentlich verbietet ein Gesetz seit dem vergangenen Jahr, dass Abtreibungsgegner in der Nähe von Beratungsstellen protestieren. Aufgehört haben die Aktionen trotzdem nicht. Was bringt die neue Regelung? Ein Besuch in Frankfurt. #SZPlus https://t.co/fNDepOJQVB

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @JeffreyGoldberg. https://t.co/MC5tzh084a

The President told me he believes the story is essentially a non-issue, and that Goldberg's presence on the chat had "no impact at all." The attacks, he continued, were "perfectly successful."

In a brief interview, @POTUS tells me he still has confidence in @MikeWaltz47 - after @TheAtlantic Signal story yesterday: "Michael Waltz has learned a lesson, and he's a good man."

I asked the President if he were frustrated that the story has gotten so much attention. He said no, calling it "the only glitch in two months, and it turned out not to be a serious one."

@GarrettHaake Because Goldberg was more responsible than everyone else on the chat. As far as we know, no information was ever actually leaked from Hilary's server, and yet they spent YEARS investigating that. This actually leaked!

@GarrettHaake Translation - "They all kiss my ass and that's all that matters, so I won't fire them. Besides, I'm too self-absorbed and dense to care or understand the significance of what they did."

Ik mocht net bij een heidagsessie niet meepraten met het groepje, maar mocht wel meeluisteren. Kortom: ik was de Designated Jeffrey. #signalgate

.@SecRollins: We canceled a contract in New York educating transgender and queer farmers on food justice and food equality. I'm not even sure what that means but apparently the last administration wanted to put our taxpayer dollars towards that.

Over de jonge Republiek der Verenigde Nederlanden zei C.P. Hooft dat ze onsterfelijk was. Regenten overleden en werden vervangen; de staat bleef. Dat geldt ook voor Europa: juist omdat de macht gespreid is, is continuïteit gegarandeerd. Hier geen trumpiaanse omwentelingen.

'Het probleem met Europa is dat er altijd wel ergens verkiezingen zijn, dat er altijd leiders in problemen zitten of dat economieën niet goed draaien. Dat creëert bijna dagelijks een soort structurele politieke onzekerheid, dat los je ook niet zomaar op.' https://t.co/kUSSXiFJrQ

Nordrhein-Westfalen ist für die Niederlande ein wichtiger Partner und Geschäftspartner. Über unsere gemeinsame Grenze hinweg, die sich von Overijssel bis Südlimburg erstreckt, arbeiten wir eng zusammen. In Düsseldorf kamen heute Delegationen unserer Regierung und der von MP

@rtvutrecht Ze kwamen zeker vragen of de bewoner binnenkort nog gaat demonstreren.
