Premium trolling. ~"If NATO wants to join an alliance with Ukraine, it must first carry out reforms"
POLITICO Europe@politico.eu · yesterdayNATO's reliance on the "doctrines of World War II" and its slow adaptation to new forms of warfare make it unlikely Ukraine will ever join the alliance, said Kyiv's Ambassador to the U.K. and former Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi.

FT editorial on EU sanctions on RUS "the price of short-term efforts to protect national interests could be to embolden RUS to fight on in pursuit of a victory that would have huge costs for Europe’s long-term security and prosperity." The lack of strategic thinking in some EU gov'ts is shocking
The EU needs to hold together on Russia sanctions
Cost of trying to protect domestic interests may be to embolden Moscow

While Putin somewhat improved his image in 2018, Trump further damaged his as World Cup host: he was booed, ridiculed by players and fans worldwide, and seen as a cheater. Europe should use that psychological momentum to push for autonomy. My editorial via @wort.lu www.wort.lu/meinung/leit...

No mention of the $50 million Thiel gave the son of Axel Springer's CEO to start a venture capital fund. But the CEO lauds Thiel's "courage and non-conformity." www.welt.de/wirtschaft/a...

Hallucinating stuff. Non Flemish parents in Brussels already have to pass a test if they want to make sure their kids can visit a Dutch speaking school in the capital. Raising the bar will only deter them even more from doing so. Instead of embracing the interest for NL www.bruzz.be/actua/onderw...

I don’t wanna say anything but… Mbappé, Dembélé, Cristiano? Nothing. Charles De Ketelaere? The sole man who actually scored against Spain. Name a stadium or kids' tournament after that guy. Legend.
Rajoy's racism is not a (stupid and ineffective) strategy to counter the electoral pressure from the far right. It's what he genuinely thinks. He was a leading EPP figure from its centrist wing, not an isolated lunatic. This is both depressing and frightening.

Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi was born in Schaerbeek and spent years working as a sports teacher and grassroots football coach. He started out at Maccabi Brussels before moving on to Anderlecht’s youth teams. What a career.
I don't know, man, I think if Joe Biden had kept confusing Zelenskyy with Putin and Iran with Japan, the media might have made a pretty big deal about it?

When the drunk uncle keeps telling the same joke. At first there was a kind of cringey, entertaining fear around it. Now it just seems pathetic and small.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoTrump: "Spain is a wasted cause. We don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore, by the way. I'd like to cut it off. Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. Cut off all trade with Spain, please. Including visits. We don't want anything to do. They're hopeless. Bad people."

Rudi Garcia has saved both football and the multilateral rules based international order. What a time to be alive.
You can do all you want about NATO, but don't you dare touch football!
Lena Schilling@lenaats.bsky.social · last mo.I urge the European Parliament to draft a strongly worded resolution condemning Trump’s World Cup interference. Expected impact: comparable to all our other strongly worded resolutions #USABEL
Bart De Wever was quick to complain about the Belgian World Cup song lacking a line in Dutch. But hasn't said anything on the injustice falling upon his country now. Just saying.
and the rule based multilateral order. That's quite something for Rudi Garcia
