I saw a docuz on the Dutch siotuation. They said it is coming from some foreign mafia organization known for its brutality, to intimidate state and society when policy started to crack down hard on them after gang wars escalated?!


Well, if you dont clean your flat often enough, dust starts to settle down everywhere, dont be surprised then when seeing it. Having clever theories why dust cleaning is not needed and should not be done, do not change that. Its a bit stupid, like in "fat but beautiful". Beauty may lie in the eye of the beholder, but fatness kills you early nevertheless, beauty or not.

We have the biggest port for Europe all transit of drugs are done by the biggest South America Cartels, Triads, Italian Mafia, Turkish mafia (in Rotterdam if somebody tells you, you gone meet the Turk you know you die soon), Bratva and many other big criminal players they earn more with this than ten times the Dutch state earns yearly we do not have the resources also no other state in the world has the resources or man power to fight this. If the Dutch police role up or catch a drug transit it is peanuts in comparing the criminals earn that day, mostly under 1% is ever caught. The street value has remained pretty much the same, there is SO much in circulation that the supply more than meets the demand, so the street value does not increase. There are many billions of euros in circulation there is such a large amount, they can take such a loss at face value. Governments and ports are of course trying all kinds of things to counter this drug trade. Justice Minister Yesilgöz, for instance, tried to make more contact with source countries like Colombia and Bolivia and transit countries like Ecuador, Paraguay and Suriname. By tackling the problem at the source, European countries hope to turn off the tap. But the cartels have such a big finger in the pie everywhere, including here in the Netherlands, that this is incredibly difficult.

Mocro Mafia was the name I was looking after. Could imagine its a reference to Marocco, I think the name is the Dutch word for the country, but I know nothing about this topic and certaionly dont know the language (like most Germans: every Dutch seem to speak some words of German, but no German I ever heard talking Dutch). This mafia is known for using explosives often and easily.

The Mocro Mafia did not start this they are known for drive by shooting on broad day lite mostly an Amsterdam problem Rotterdam is in the hands of the Turkish Mafia they are totally different you just disappear in a ditch very low profile. That is why the head of the Mocro Mafia is in jail for live in an anti terror complex. I had a 9 on my diploma for German at a maritime academy, then you need German, but actually I learnt it from your TV where all the films are vocal sync with German subtitles. Saw the same films on Dutch and Belgian TV, that's how you do learn German and it is not so apart from Dutch as a language.

On May 22, 2025, Panzer Brigade 45 "Lithuania" was officially commissioned in Vilnius. It is the first Bundeswehr brigade to be permanently stationed abroad. The brigade comprises approximately 4,800 soldiers and around 200 civilian personnel and is subordinate to the 10th Panzer Division.

The brigade consists of three combat battalions:
Panzergrenadier Battalion 122 from Oberviechtach (Bavaria)
Panzer Battalion 203 from Augustdorf (North Rhine-Westphalia)
Enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) Battlegroup, which is deployed on a rotating basis and will be permanently integrated starting in 2026.

The brigade will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology currently in service with the Bundeswehr, including:

44 Leopard 2A8 main battle tanks
44 Puma S1 infantry fighting vehicles
18 PZH 2000 A4 self-propelled howitzers
65 ATF Dingo 2 A4.1 lightly armored reconnaissance vehicles

The provision of this equipment will be phased in, with some systems already available in Germany, while others still need to be produced or modernized. The brigade aims to be fully operational by the end of 2027.

The necessary infrastructure for the brigade will largely be provided by Lithuania. This includes barracks, training facilities, and civilian facilities such as housing, schools, and kindergartens for the Bundeswehr personnel stationed in Lithuania and their families.

Logistical support is provided by the Bundeswehr, which is responsible for the deployment and maintenance of the equipment and for supplying the troops.


It's not entirely clear to me whether, in line with the original plan, the personnel strength will be met through additional recruitment and newly produced equipment, or whether existing units will simply be relocated, some of whose equipment will at least be modernized for this purpose. My skepticism is based on the statements of Bundeswehr insiders who, when presenting this plan, pointed out that it was considered practically unfeasible in the form presented at the time. Things and conditions may change and have changed—I don't know if and to what extent that is the case here. The public media aren't reporting with the depth necessary for an assessment.

Heard in the news Germany has made a 180 degrees turn on Nuclear and are planning on restarting 11 Nuclear Power Plant.

Did I hear it correctly ?

Markus

No.

I'm not sre that I understand what you mean :)

Which one of the two letters exactly is it you dont understand...? :)

In fact this is another on the growing list of things where Merz has u-turned meanwhile. During campaign he said he wants to check reactivation of the last four reactors that were switched off. He now has ruled out to do that. On EU level Germany however gave up resistence to Brussel rating nuclear energy as green and sustainable. The Greens opposed it.

Nuclear energy in Germany is dead. We encourage others to have it, to get energy from them. Thats the clever German way. We do something similar with fossile energy imports. We buy their fosisle energy - and then point fingers at them. :D

You won't any energy off us then...far too expensive, not that we have any to spare :o

It now seems that Germany, Will join Ukraine as a proxy into NATO's fight. Germany has been Occupied since 1945. There are no Germans left only a country as a buffer against Natos drive against Russia.
To be used as a recipient of the first strike. If you were free and lived by democracy's rule, Your politicians could say F.you been there and done that and we will set this one out. right?

But your not free , Democracy will make sure that your history as a people is gone. Look right here in America the new world order is busy rewriting our own history. In 2050 we will be in civil war. If the new World order can overthrow and kill Vladimir Putin. Ya know he and his country are not the enemy. The enemy today hides under the banner of democracy. But in reality these elite intellectuals are nothing but old school Fascist. Who want to rule this planet. Skybird there is nowhere for them to go. Nobody is leaving and going anywhere off this planet.

Whoever and However, This planet was created insured one thing,We who live here aren't going anywhere off this planet without water and oxygen . And the elite have figured that out so what to do will think will happen on our Wonderful Blue Marble in the Universe ?

In five years or in five billion years?

After 336 days, Blondi (Wilders PVV) has blown-up the Dutch government and probably placed himself forever on the sideline this is the second time he has stabbed his partners in the back. Twenty years now, Wilders has been shouting the loudest in the Chamber. About the tsunami of Islamisation, about the head rag tax, about less, less, about asylum seekers, journalists, judges. About anyone who does think before he opens his mouth. Twenty years of hate speech. Twenty years of pitting population groups against each other. And what has it brought the Netherlands? Nothing. Nothing at all. Wilders is a political crook. A populist show master who only thrives from the sidelines. As soon as he has to deliver something, he falls through mercilessly. No vision, no solutions, no ideas. Only swearing. A man who has been shouting for 20 years that the house is on fire, but as soon as you hand him a fire extinguisher, grumbles that the water is too wet.

A year ago, hope glimmered for right-wing voters. But what began as a historic opportunity ended in a fiasco of bickering, mismanagement and self-destruction. Geert Wilders has not only inflated his own credibility, but also destroyed the chance of stable right-wing policies for years to come. A year ago, the Netherlands thought it would get a right-wing cabinet, and rightly so. The outline agreement of PVV, VVD, NSC and BBB was one that right-wing Holland could lick its fingers at. Hope, guts and pride, the agreement called itself. Exactly what was missing in this collaboration. The right-wing voter was cheated. After a year of wrangling, the Netherlands is plunged into a political crisis by the man who promised the sun would shine again. Where hope, guts and pride were promised, we got suspicion, chaos and shame.

Masking the failure of asylum minister Faber and the PVV with a smokescreen of chaos and finger-pointing at others is not taking responsibility. It is a sign of weakness and incompetence. Geert Wilders began his campaign last week with a press conference in which he started reading out the PVV election manifesto. Why? Because Faber was patently incapable of formulating policy. She admitted this herself, by the way. During her first major media appearance, she barely managed to explain the lines of the agreement. Wilders intervened. Not out of leadership, but out of panic, as the polls began to plummet. Never did this coalition do anything wrong, that was unthinkable. Never did anything go wrong by the ruling parties, after all, they spoke on behalf of the people. The coalition parties represented all those voters who had been running from one saviour to another for a quarter of a century.

Wilders never saw it as a coalition, but as a backdrop. An extension of his ego. A place where he could appoint ministers, nominate a prime minister, and meanwhile keep himself elegantly out of harm's way. He meddled in everything but responsibility. And when choices had to be made about migration, housing, nitrogen or healthcare, he did what he always does: walk away. It is the attitude of a man who does not want to govern, but only to determine. He chose conflict. On migration, a topic on which the coalition agreement had already been stretched to its limits, he demanded even tougher measures. Measures that affect fundamental rights, undermine treaties and put pressure on the rule of law. And when others drew the line there, he did what he always does: threaten, bluff and leave. Not out of courage or principles, but simply out of an unwillingness to cooperate. Because as soon as he really has to take responsibility, he turns into what he does best: a shouting along the sidelines.

The damage is immense. Not just for the coalition, but especially for the people waiting for policy. House seekers, health care providers, farmers, students, teachers, they are once again seeing their future sacrificed to a man who prefers to score headlines than solve headache files. And yes, this was avoidable. But then Wilders should have stood up as a statesman. Instead, as always, he chose the role of agitator. Not a leader, but a political pyromaniac who starts fires where others try to put them out. He could have been responsible. He chose to divide and run. With her border controls, the now-resigned PVV Minister of Immigration Faber has introduced an extremely expensive and completely ineffective measure that has had no effect whatsoever on the asylum influx. This is according to a damning report by the Court of Audit. The border controls by possibly the biggest tinker in Dutch political history, intended to reduce pressure on the asylum chain, turn out to have been totally pointless. According to the Court of Auditors, border controls are not at all a suitable means of reducing the influx of asylum seekers. Once someone applies for asylum, whether at border controls, the IND or the COA, he or she ‘legally resides on Dutch territory awaiting the outcome of the asylum procedure’. So it does not matter whether an asylum seeker runs into a border check or not, the Court said, saying that ministers have been made aware of this several times.

Looks like a Farage hollandaise
