It's a US tax on buying foreign stuff.

Problem us, in a global economy, local alternatives often don't exist are still aren't competitive in price.

So it's just a giant consumer tax disguised as "being tough on foreign nations"

De Wever is a Republican fanboi, I really wish he sticked to peddling "anti-woke" book rather than be our PM.

But atleast all other parties called him out on not speaking for the government, and one of them basically said that if a judge secides to go ahead and arrest Netanyahu, Bartje can go pound sand.

The only way to keep the ICC alive imho is to add enforcement through links with Europol/ECJ.

A European "Sheriffs" force or Europol expansion would be a strong start to add weight to their arrest warrants and add precedent.

Preferably, it would remain an EU institute, but subject to enforcing ICC rulings, so it can take on other tasks, and have the ICC still open to non-EU members with their own enforcement.

Did someone tell Rutte yet that not everyone in orange paint is acting pro-Netherlands?

As a European, I genuinely laughed at his 'far left' mention.

First they came for the ~~socialists~~ migrants ...

This is a 1933-39 speedrun. At this rate, I expect them to crown a monarch before - or possibly on - the US's 250th anniversary next year.

Just do it like the chinese do it:

Width of 4 time zones all on Beijing time. (most eastern)

So companies in center/west just shift their business hours instead.

Nobody says your company has to open at 8h, starting at 10 is perfectly legal!

He needed the ultra-right party to keep him in power, and those guys are all about "peace through genocide" kind of strategies.

As usual, nazi regimes use ceasefires as strategic tool, but have little interest in actual peace as long as they aren't the ones dying.

Aye, the moment they rule EOs exceed judges, he'll have no use for them anymore.

Also means no more RV and vacation gifts.
