Oh shit, it has begun. Outgoing Dutch PM and future NATO secretary general Mark Rutte visits Ukraine to lighten up the mood in the war zone.

They need to fudge the numbers like we do in Europe.

Don't include cost of housing, education, public transportation, climate change expenses, energy costs, monetary stabillization funds, healthcare costs, development aid, innovation funds, benefits for asylum seekers, farmers subsidies, emergency aid to Ukraine and bank bailouts to keep the numbers 'realistic'. Take the average by dividing the total of all the percentages by 27 wildly different economies.

Presto 0.3% economic growth!  

don't tell anyone about the 10% inflation

lol George Galloway wins these kind of by elections every few years

Which you'd assume would be easily prevented by showing those clips of him giving Jimmy Saville a big hug and acting like a literal pussy on Celebrity BB

CAUTION: CONTAINS HIGH DOSE OF CRINGE

lmao at peeps thinking he was going to call for a general election.

That type of politician with no vision, ideology, mandate, alternative in the party ranks facing a divided opposition tends to stick around for a long long time.
It took us 14 years to "vote out" our prime minister after he already "stepped down" about 3 years ago and 4 months after we voted he is still governing.

Nice of Macron to add a French flag, just what the good people of Gaza need

Has absolutely nothing to do with his plans or as "weapons" it's just a really specific fetish he picked up when he was stationed in East Germany.

[Nintex]

Fun times here.

Our government is opening a Holocaust Museum this sunday and the President of Israel has been invited.
However, the left is jumping through all the possible ((hoops)) to get the invitation rescinded because of what his happening in Gaza they are raging anti-semites. 

This is especially a problem for the Greens/Labour coalition as Labour try to distance themselves from the anti-semites and the Greens just fan the flames.

Wait you can vote for someone other than Putin? 

[Sman]

Don't campaign, run no ads, have no political skills, give up being PM.

The Netherlands votes for nothing... and they get nothing.

[Nintex]

Forming a coalition government has been an absolute disaster so far and the press agrees its not Wilders fault.
Omtzigt can't make any decisions and keeps having mental breakdowns and he has the seats needed to make this work.

The choices for the other parties are basically this:
1. Form some type of government with Wilders support but make him pay a heavy price for it
2. Form a left wing government a move only ~25% of the country would support
3. New elections, which would see Wilders vote share increase from ~22% to ~33% according to current polls

PKM Gunner and former Canadian infantry veteran breaks down his own GoPro footage assaulting a Russian trench.

I wasn't sure where to post it but there's got to be some military nerds here that would find this interesting.

Arresting a man for saying he wouldn't vote for Putin? Uh, no? He slipped on the floor and two comrades were attemping to help him up! Thank God they were there to escort him to hospital for a check up.
