He basically took the Weimar constitution because it succeeded at its main goal of stopping the communists from ever taking power.

In the French podcasts I listen to they always use Wokisme, but maybe l’academie is more strict about it.

L’Academie Francaise is a big fan of calling stuff Weauque, especially if it concerns the G word.

Does anyone know how trustworthy/genuine they are. It would be nice to have true independent reporting on what is happening in Ukraine, but sometimes I have the feeling they are just partisans from the other side. Especially there support for trump kinda turns me off. I get it, Biden sucks, but Trump is not gonna make anything better. Plus I have the feeling one of them is online gambling without muting the sound effects, especially during the recent recordings. Still better than the NYT though.

They are not stuck, they’re just having so much fun they decided to stay a little longer.

Not a fan of US foreign policy ofc, but I do wonder if America pulls back, how long it would take before France and Germany (trapped in a security-dilemma spiral) turn Belgium/Brussels into a whole different type of political battle ground again.

Kamala is very sick right now, it’s frankly disrespectful to go on about it.

I think you underestimate how lazy the average journalist is, most articles don’t need to be written.

Okay GUYS, so I just found out that ONE of the JUDGES is actually a RUSSIAN. We should all call our local representative and TELL them that the ICJ should be IMPEACHED!

This is such a shame, this building is a heritage site and was used for cultural events (I went to a concert there less than a year ago) and now it has been violated by world capitalism.

You stupid Americans don’t understand anything, we Need to be friendly with Israel to buy their weapons. Without Israeli drones we will not reach the drowning quota in the Mediterranean, so it’s actually perfectly fine and good.

As I did not know any Russian at that time, it is hard for me to answer that with certainty but I suspect not. I currently live in Berlin and know many Russians and even with the Russia-Ukraine war going on, Germans seem to be quite good at separating Russians from the Russian government. So I suspect that was the case as well in The Netherlands.
As for nationalist music, that concept is so culturally foreign here that you would not be considered to be mentally 100% if you listened to or wrote such a song.

The MH-17 airplane downing over the Ukraine (2014 I think) was compared to 9/11 in The Netherlands, percentage wise it came quite close and because the Netherlands is a small country many people knew people that died. But it did not lead to a 9/12 kind of response mostly because the Netherlands is not really capable of ‘dealing’ with Russia.
Also interestingly, lots of time was spend figuring out who exactly shot down the plane, but I don’t really remember any active inquiry into why a passenger jet was allowed to fly over an active conflict zone.
