Isn’t it the land of Bicycles and Old Hippies ? LOL
The Dutch are REAL DUMB! They are socialists living on the backs of others while complaining about how those backs are strong.
And I’m supposed to fear Putin?
How could he possibly be worse?
Delusional.
This is what I call Doubling Down On Stupid
How could he possibly be worse?
In order to save Ukraine, Zelensky became a dictator.
And once the war ends, Zelensky is going to hand over his country to the EU.
Virtue signaling, plus fascism.
The Nethetlands has gone batsnot crazy.
It’s not madness.
It’s evil.
Unadulterated evil.
Hitler would approve the meat ban.
I agree. They need a big dose of reality.
Well, they know windmills right? Hello, Bueller? So ooo ooo glad my kin folk headed west around 1630......
Some days, it’s difficult to determine who is more insane: The Iranian regime or the nuts in Europe.
What about the “meat” in the infamous red light district? That’s pretty public advertising IMHO.
