❗️US President Donald Trump claims Iran gave him a "very big present," and that "they're gonna make a deal."
My latest article on Strategic Culture : Retired Dutch F-16 pilots fly Ukrainian F-16 missions — Strategic Culture
With the current Dutch government led by D’66s Rob Jetten, there will be no change in Dutch policy; on the contrary, it will get even worse.
Since August 2024, F-16s have been delivered to Ukraine, in addition to other European countries’ deliveries of F-16 fighter jets. Before they were delivered, which may have happened long before August 2024, the American magazine Politico wrote at the time that: “Ukraine can strike Russian targets with Dutch F-16s and how the Dutch position contrasts with Belgian policy, under which donated F-16s cannot be used by Kiev to hit targets inside Russia.”
This delivery of 24 Dutch F-16s took place under the American Biden regime, which fully supported the war in Ukraine against Russia. Naturally, we should have no illusions – and personally, I had none either – that peace would come with the arrival of the second Trump regime. There are too many hawks in the Pentagon and in the Trump regime itself who are bent on war with Russia.

De Epstein-maffia is diep in de Europese politiek geïnfiltreerd – FREESURIYAH

Pensionierte niederländische F-16-Piloten fliegen ukrainische F-16-Einsätze
lyumon1834.wordpress.com/2026/03/25...
Mit der aktuellen niederländischen Regierung unter der Führung von D'66s Rob Jetten wird sich die niederländische Politik nicht ändern; Im Gegenteil, es wird noch schlimmer werden.
Seit August 2024 werden niederländische F-16 an die Ukraine geliefert, zusätzlich zu den Lieferungen von F-16-Kampfjets durch andere europäische Länder. Bevor sie ausgeliefert wurden – was möglicherweise schon lange vor August 2024 geschehen ist, schrieb das amerikanische Magazin Politico damals: "Die Ukraine kann russische Ziele mit niederländischen F-16 angreifen und wie die niederländische Position im Gegensatz zur belgischen Politik steht, nach der gespendete F-16 von Kiew nicht eingesetzt werden dürfen, um Ziele innerhalb Russlands anzugreifen."

Diese Lieferung von 24 niederländischen F-16 fand unter dem amerikanischen Biden-Regime statt, das den Krieg in der Ukraine gegen Russland voll unterstützte. Natürlich sollten wir uns keine Illusionen machen – und ich persönlich auch keine –, dass Frieden mit dem Eintreffen des zweiten Trump-Regimes kommen würde. Es gibt zu viele Falken im Pentagon und im Trump-Regime selbst, die auf einen Krieg mit Russland aus sind.

Die Tatsache, dass die Ukraine Russland mit von den Niederlanden gelieferten F-16 angreifen kann, bedeutet faktisch, dass die Niederlande auch Teil des Krieges im Konflikt zwischen der Ukraine und Russland sind. Es gibt auch ein sehr wichtiges Element: Die Ukraine ist kein Mitglied der NATO oder der Europäischen Union (EU). Daher besteht keine tatsächliche Verpflichtung, dem Land von NATO oder europäischen Ländern zu helfen. Artikel 5 der NATO gilt hier zum Beispiel nicht, weil die Ukraine kein Mitglied der NATO ist und daher die Niederlande Teil des aktuellen Krieges sind.

Die Lieferung von Kampfjets (und anderen Verteidigungsgütern) von einem EU-Mitgliedstaat an ein Land, das weder Mitglied der EU noch der NATO ist, ist nicht automatisch illegal, aber streng reguliert. Die damalige Debatte war in den Niederlanden bedeutend und hat sich verschärft, seit wir erfahren haben, dass Anfang 2026 niederländische pensionierte F-16-Piloten mit den 24 gelieferten F-16-Kampfjets Missionen durchführen. Wie sie selbst angeben, bezüglich der Ukraine; das Problem ist jedoch, dass die Niederlande, wie die EU und die NATO, den Donbas als ukrainisches Territorium betrachten, während er offiziell nach einem demokratischen Referendum im September 2022 offiziell russisches Territorium ist.

Nach niederländischem Recht: "Aktive Piloten der niederländischen Luftwaffe dürfen nicht einfach in den ausländischen Militärdienst eintreten; das kann als Fahnenflucht bezeichnet werden." Es gibt jedoch Spekulationen über den Einsatz von "ehemaligen Piloten" oder Piloten, die den Dienst verlassen haben, um diese Missionen über dem sogenannten Ukraine zu fliegen, das aber Russland ist, das laut russischem Recht, wie ich schrieb, der Donbas russisches Territorium ist.

Kürzlich berichtete im Februar 2026 der ehemalige niederländische Verteidigungsminister Ruben Brekelmans, dass es niederländischen Staatsangehörigen nicht verboten ist, im ukrainischen Dienst zu kämpfen, solange sie das humanitäre Völkerrecht einhalten. Allerdings wird das humanitäre Völkerrecht von allen Seiten "verbogen", um ihm einen Anschein von Legalität zu verleihen, sodass diese "pensionierten" Piloten einfach Missionen fliegen können. Denn laut niederländischer Verfassung ist es natürlich verboten, am ausländischen Militärdienst teilzunehmen; Die Ukraine ist ein "ausländischer Militärdienst", und die Niederlande befinden sich offiziell nicht im Krieg mit Russland, da nie eine offizielle Kriegserklärung abgegeben wurde.

Progress of assault detachments: the commander of the 38th Motorised Rifle Brigade (35th Combined Arms Army, Vostok Group of Forces) with call sign 'Lyova' spoke about the liberation of the AFU strongholds in Zaporozhye region.

By taking control over the system of strongholds and a strategically important crossroads, Russian servicemen deprived the enemy of the ability to manoeuvre reserves and created conditions for further advancement of our units.

Iran issued a warning to its Middle Eastern neighbors during an urgent United Nations Human Rights Council debate on Wednesday, asserting that they will become "accessible targets" if they continue to facilitate Israeli and U.S. military operations. Representing the Islamic Republic at the 61st session, the Iranian envoy detailed a "coordinated invasion" that has reportedly claimed over 1,500 lives and destroyed 45,000 homes since February 28, 2026. Iran accused neighboring states of allowing U.S. bases to serve as refueling points for airstrikes targeting Iranian schools, hospitals, and cultural heritage sites in Isfahan. Defending its right to respond at the "resource" of these attacks, Tehran urged regional unity against what it termed the "malignant entity" of Israel while formally protesting the diplomatic language used by Western powers.

Trump said he is diverting weapons for Ukraine to the Middle East. Reporter: The US is diverting some of the ammunition intended for Ukraine to the Middle East, meaning US still sending weapons to Ukraine and a war party if he is not lying this is an act against Russia
 Trump: We have a lot of ammunition. As I always say Trump or the US if they wanted to stop the war against Russia had to stop the delivery of weapons and selling them to the EU, a long time ago...

During a briefing session on Friday, members of the Security Council discussed Russia's foreign policy in Europe

At the beginning of the session, the President said:

It is clear that Russia's relations with European countries are going through a crisis, for which we are not to blame. References to the events in Ukraine do not provide sufficient grounds, because this crisis arose due to the actions of both the previous US administration and a number of leading European nations. They supported the coup in Ukraine, which subsequently triggered the entire chain of tragic events that continue to unfold there. <...> Let me reiterate: we have never abandoned the idea of developing these relations or restoring them.

Trump hinted that he plans to rename the Strait of Hormuz after himself.
Iran must open the Trump Strait, meaning Strait of Hormuz... Fake news will now say I said that by mistake. I made no mistakes.

#CrimesOfColonialism
 
⛓️ On March 28, 1658, the merchant vessel Amersfoort, operated by the Dutch East India Company, delivered the first large group of enslaved people to the Dutch colony in the south of Africa.

During the Dutch-Portuguese War (1602–1663), the Amersfoort, operated by the Dutch East India Company,attacked a Portuguese slave ship en route to Brazil, seizing its cargo along with 250 Angolan slaves on board.

◾️ Due to one-third of those being too young and unfit for forced labour, the Dutch discarded them, ultimately transporting only 174 individuals to the colony.

The arrival of the Amersfoort at the Cape Peninsula marked the southward expansion of slavery on the continent, another tragic page in the history of the African continent and the European colonisers' crimes.

📜 As is widely recognised, the organised slave trade in Africa began with the Portuguese, who had explored and developed it since the early 15th century. The forts they built along the western coast later became major centres of slave trading.

Eventually, Spain, Great Britain, France, and the Netherlands emerged as the principal transporters of enslaved Africans.

By the mid-17th century, the East India Company, which held a near monopoly on the spice and exotic goods trade in Europe, helped fuel the Dutch “Golden Age” through its extensive slave-trading operations across Asia.

After establishing a presence in Southern Africa in 1652 and failing to compel the local population into labour, Dutch colonisers began importing small groups of enslaved people from Southeast Asia and the islands in the Indian Ocean. This later expanded into large-scale raids within the African continent – in Mozambique, Zanzibar, and Dahomey (present-day Benin and Togo).

The colony’s reliance on slavery meant that enslaved people were entirely stripped of their basic rights, with their children born into slavery, families frequently separated by force, and physical violence being routine.

Despite a colonial slave system built on fear and brutality, enslaved people repeatedly organised and carried out major uprisings.

Zelensky is on tour in the treacherous Gulf states that see only dollar signs, just like their master, America. Now that they are being cornered by Iran and their master's military bases are being attacked, and watching their petrodollars go up in smoke, they have—as is customary for Gulf Arabs, betrayal—turned to the chosen one for the EU (and US) Zelensky to beg for drones and military cooperation. Naturally, many of these drones come from the Netherlands and other EU countries, which have concluded a drone deal with Zelensky; thus the circle is complete and the parties are known in what we can call the Third World War.'

♨️ Mark Rutte, the Dutch NATO secretary general, endured a tough onslaught of public abuse this week from European politicians and media.

The squabbling has nothing to do with a principled opposition to Rutte’s support for Trump’s war on Iran. The angst has to do with a fear that the conflict is weakening the proxy war against Russia, which the Europeans want to prioritize.

Nicknamed “Teflon Mark” for his flexible character and political dealmaking during 16 years in office as the Netherlands prime minister, Rutte was straining to keep shape after being pummelled for being too servile to U.S. President Donald Trump.

It is saying something when European politicians, who largely act as vassals for Washington, hit out at one of their own for being a “Trump cheerleader.”

The contentious issue is the war on Iran that Trump has waded into, along with Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu. After four weeks of conflict that has inflamed the Middle East, the world is bracing for spiralling repercussions.

European leaders, with honorable exceptions, have shown an abject cowardice by not condemning Trump’s illegal aggression against Iran.

The European vassals have no backbone or principles.
