Blij van vioolspelen. Ik kan het nog niet hoor, maar het oefenen (zonder publiek) is heel goed voor mijn emotionele huishouding.
En dat met een viool die ik gekregen heb zonder dat ik ernaar op zoek was, van iemand die ik niet ken...

De oorlog in het Midden-Oosten zou niet de discussie over het gas in Groningen moeten aanjagen, maar moeten gaan over hoe kunnen we sneller verduurzamen en zo onafhankelijker worden voor onze energievoorziening.

Het vliegkampschip Charles de Gaulle gaat NIET naar het Midden-Oosten. Dat heeft het Franse opperbevel formeel bekendgemaakt. Er deden geruchten de ronde dat het schip naar het oosten van de Middellandse Zee zou worden gedirigeerd i.v.m. de oorlog tegen Iran.
In the spirit of their close partnership as set out in Article 4 of the Treaty of Aachen, France and Germany have decided to enter into closer cooperation in the field of deterrence in response to the evolving threat landscape. France and Germany have established a high-ranking nuclear steering group that will act as a bilateral framework for doctrinal dialogue and the coordination of strategic cooperation, including consultations regarding the appropriate mix of conventional, missile defence and French nuclear capabilities. France and Germany have agreed to take first concrete steps beginning this year, including German conventional participation in French nuclear exercises and joint visits to strategic sites as well as development of conventional capabilities with European partners. France and Germany will also increase their ability, as Europeans, to manage escalation beneath the nuclear threshold – in particular in the fields of Early Warning and Air Defense and Deep Precision Strike.
This Franco-German cooperation is based on the shared understanding that the nuclear dimension of deterrence remains a cornerstone of European security, relying on US extended deterrence, including US nuclear weapons forward-deployed to Europe, and on the independent strategic nuclear forces of France and the United Kingdom, which have a deterrent role of their own and contribute significantly to the overall security of the Alliance. This Franco-German cooperation will add to, not substitute for, NATO’s nuclear deterrence and NATO’s nuclear sharing arrangements, to which Germany contributes and will continue to contribute. France and Germany will continue to comply with their obligations under international law including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. In light of their strong commitment to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty and Art. 42 (7) of the Treaty on European Union, Franco-German cooperation aims at strengthening the systems of collective security both countries belong to. It aims at enhancing Europe’s security as a whole. Special attention will be given to coordination with the United States, the United Kingdom, other Allies and NATO.
