To be perfectly blunt I would rather deal with machines than the US border Gestapo. Anywhere else my Dutch passport and white skin gets me through in a blink.

As if motor cyclists are known for their decency. As soon as the first nice weather comes on in spring they start driving around in their loud death machines swerving through traffic.

Its a lot easier to "bootstrap" yourself in a country with a functional government. The ultra rich don't want to pay the taxes that keeps civilization running. People like Elon Musk would not be on top in a Mad Max world.

I was reading the obituary of the Dutch guy who helped Pakistan get its nukes a few weeks ago. Thanks to him and a few visionaries the balance was maintained Harper style!

Giving up your economy for a future war with China that may or may not happen is frankly idiotic. The US already has thousands of nuclear warheads in storage so what are you afraid of? This is basically how the USSR collapsed.

Nobody in Beijing or Brussels was surprised they had plans. Observe how neither of them is kissing his ass at the moment.

Thank you it seems everyone has already forgotten project 2025. Look I don't want to be too harsh on Americans nobody took the Nazis seriously when they had already written a book about how they saw the world... But none of this is sho

I disagree. The root cause is obviously Israel founding which was the the last colonial project that Western European countries undertook. I predict that in the next decades Europe will cut ties with Israel completely but until then we reap

This Yemen situation is quite interesting. In 1948 nobody could have conceived a situation in which white people wouldn't be running the world, Dutch people were still religious and public opinion was pro Israel. Hopefully when the las

Culture can be changed. That's the power of Western countries- constant change. Nothing is ever set in stone.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8rk5d7ekjmo I found this article interesting. Personally I think starvation is a very low bar to clear. What matters to the first world is whether or not India has a middle class

If China wants Taiwan back the only thing they need to do is make sure the US Navy and cargo ships can't reach the island.

Considering the British supplied weapons, explosives and tactics to the Saudi uprising "white man saviour" is not far from the truth no? I don't know why it is considered politically incorrect nowadays to say that the world a

When a famous media personality was assassinated the police managed to catch the killers within hours. Turns out they really DO track every car on the highway- it wasn't just bragging. Every rich country is a surveillance state.

Actually I think the message that people should get is that folks LIKE fascism. Germans loved Hitler until Stalingrad.

Well speaking for myself: the reason why I keep using Microsoft stuff is because I grew up with it. The first computer that I owned came with 98SE. At this point in my life I do not really want to learn new programmes. But if MS keeps chang

Actually most countries did not choose freedom of religion. Protestant countries kicked the Catholics out and vice versa. The Netherlands was for a long time the only place in Europe that considered religion to be a personal affair- Amsterd

In fairness I think that these "locked doors" are to keep the homeless/drug users out or kids starting fires not really burglars.

You can get in the building with a bit of social engineering. I live in an apartment complex. Put on a DHL or Dominos cap and nobody cares. It's your front door lock that is the real barrier.
