European bureucrats like von der Leyen are spineless American lapdogs. They will apologise and kiss Trump’s feet. They always have.

Germany is going back to its roots as an authoritarian state. Statsi and Gastapo would be proud.

I take offence at 30 being old 😅

German companies would suffer badly if they lost their Chinese customers.

Dutch cyclists can be wild. Once when visiting Amstrdam as a tourist, I got yelled at by a grandpa for blocking the cycle road.

This is why I don’t subscribe to the Signal E2EE hype cult.
