Which nation is worse??

Recently, I noticed two interesting articles on China, Russia, and USA: Axios, 2 June 2025: Exclusive: China's global favorability rising, views of the U.S. turn negative NYT, 9 June 2025: A secret document reveals Russian worries about China Europe is not a nation but a semi-federation of 27 independent nations (i.e. the EU-27) and does therefore not meet my...

De incompetentie van rechts-nationalisme

Onlangs publiceerde de Volkskrant deze email nieuwsbrief: Voorspelling: er komt een kabinet van ‘het midden’.
