US/UK/EU/AU/NZ Media:

“Taiwan is freedom and democracy.”
“China is authoritarian. (Shows footage of police retaliating against ultra-aggressive Hong Kong rioters or journalists doing reporting on the middle of a busy road or someone’s garden before being ushered away by traffic cops or security)”

Done.

I wonder if Zelensky signed that deal knowing this would happen.

That list of nations is very short.

They all look far too nice and relaxed to be accurate, especially daytime with his coffee.
Where’s the aiming of their guns towards the reader?

Usians don’t like being told that their stolen land nation started by slave owners who then held a “freedom revolution” so these oligarchs to have to pay taxes while tge rest of their population does, isn’t such a great place after all.

If she’s 70 years old then that’s a good look.
… … Alright, I looked it up. She’s 55 years old.

For all the putdowns of women’s looks,
I would rather see this than to see Jeff Bezos marry a 25 year old.

I consider this to be a good trend, except for the bimbo lips and possible botox.

Whatever Oprah Winfrey did looks much better.

Rutte is a Dutch lib.
US leftists are irrelevant unless they reform or topple their regime,
with the former being the more unrealistic option.

You made it sound like anything changed.

I remember it and it’s still the same with the only two differences now being that for one the
voices of the democratic socialists are slowly going back to their roots,
becoming more and more anti-NATO.
And two, the fearmongering is now geared towards Russia.
Rutte’s bootlicking and increasing EU’s military budget while buying US equipment is not just what Trump wanted,
but the Euro libs as well.

Don’t know about any of it, but I’ve had Rutte as my prime minister.
This reads like the way he talks and thinks.
The biggest strength of Rutte is that he’s a chameleon,
so there’s no telling what he actually thinks,
but considering his party allegiance it’s pro-NATO through and through.

Why would this not be real?
It looks legit to me.
It’s got all the little idiosyncracy hallmarks Rutte has.
I don’t think Trump could make this up.

Really?
I’d say it hits it completely on point the way Rutte is, an anglophile that doesn’t want to rustle too many feathers unless it’s against leaders of countries outside of NATO.

His party is super-pro-Israel and super-anti-Russia.
What’s he gonna complain about?

I can tell you as a Dutchman, reading this I could hear Mark Rutte’s voice and it aligns with his anglophile suck-up character.
I couldn’t see him writing it any other way.

It’s Mark Rutte. He certainly would write it like this.

This is Mark Rutte.
He would totally say “Europe is going to pay in a BIG way” to flatter Trump.
Incessant comma splices is I guess typically Dutch and indicative to the way Rutte talks. I sometimes do it too.
He’s a liberal, making him almost as right-wing as Ursula von der Leyen, not a social democrat
or a democratic socialist or left of that.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at.
Liberals are right-wing. Always have been, always will be.

Dutch liberals are not under the progressive umbrella,
so while the Dutch progressive party is advocating to stop the war,
Dutch liberals are in full support of it.

Capitalism: If you have two cows, your landlord decides they’re tenants late on rent,
then your landlord sells your cow, buys a bull.
Then your landlords shoots your other cow and tells you it was attacking him and acted only on self defense.
As punishment, he gets to eat your cow.
You protest and then he shoots you.

I hope Afghanistan will stabilize soon.

They’ve been thrown out since 2020.

Why go through so many countries to reach Iran instead of going through Afghanistan?

Who did?
And how did that cause a clinic bombing?
Are you the culprit?

From who?
Did you hear about the Russians shooting down a plane armed with a nuclear missile in 2024?
