    I interviewed Moncef Kartas one time. An incredible knowledgable man. Unbelievable he is jailed in Tunisia now.

    Ik zou graag mijn kameraden uit het verzet herdenken morgen op 4 mei. Maar wanneer ik dat samen moet doen met een fascist haak ik af. Dat trek ik niet.

    Fine. But "tank does donuts while a guy walks around firing a belt fed machine guy and a third filming it all while kying down on the side" trumps everything.

    - back by popular demand: LNA tank doing donuts. This is the poor man's version of the other popular sport, aircraft doing low fly-bys.

    Le Drian: "Haftar is part of the solution". Those fighting him are criminals and jihadists. Not a word about war criminals and Madkhali Salafis in Haftar's forces. His support for a "political solution" is, de facto, a green light for Haftar to carry on.

    De ong. 1/3 vd Amsterdamse bewoners die n auto hebben zyn meestal geen minima. Sowieso waar zouden ze wegenbelasting, benzine, verzekering, etc van moeten betalen? Gemeenten voeren geen inkomensbeleid; dat is ad regering. #020 kan niet verantwoordelijk zyn voor te lage inkomen.

    Wist je dat, na roken, slecht eten en weinig bewegen, vieze lucht het vierde grootste gezondheidsrisico is? Amsterdammers leven gemiddeld 13 maanden korter door vieze lucht. We moeten en gaan er alles aan doen om de situatie te verbeteren.

    Zojuist heb na 35 jaar mijn lidmaatschap van de VARA beeindigd. Een zogenaamde sociaal democratische omroep die zich sterk maakt voor iemand die 363.000 euro verdient, past niet bij mij! Wegwezen!

    "Several current and former officials told me there’s no other way to interpret the phone call and the White House statement as anything other than an implicit endorsement of Hifter’s actions."

    This is absolute trash. Haftar/LNA cemented ISIS presence by ensuring their free passage from Derna to Sirte, never once did we see LNA engage ISIS cells in Sirte - it was Al Bunyan al Marsous forces that pushed ISIS out. Haftar's offensive is exacerbating the problem.

    'Pseudo-messiassen' lijkt me treffend geformuleerd, voor de achterban van Segers. Ik spreek liever van politieke tinnegieters en aspirant-rattenvangers van Hamelen.
