Lucian Mîndruță questioned the value of the strategic partnership with the USA, arguing that MAGA leaders chose to get closer to Russia while commercial vessels were being hit in Romanian territorial waters without a response from allies. He said he feared that Romania could also be abandoned in turn. Mîndruță stated that getting close to the Trump family would have been a way to stay close to Russia without it being obvious. He described it as a form of indirect submission and argued that the Romanian state system aimed to preserve itself, regardless of whom it had to submit to.

Janis Ian, geboren als Janis Eddy Fink (Farmingdale, 7 april 1951), is een Amerikaans singer-songwriter en auteur. Ian leerde al op 3-jarige leeftijd pianospelen van haar vader, een muziekleraar. Op 14-jarige leeftijd debuteerde zij met een zelfgeschreven liedje, Society's Child, dat haar in de Verenigde Staten van 1966 meteen nationaal bekend maakte (top 15-notering in de Billboard Hot 100). De tekst ging over een relatie tussen een blank meisje en een zwarte jongen. De discussie of zoiets wel kon, brandde los en Ian stond in het middelpunt van de belangstelling. Haar carrière kreeg verder vorm toen zij het album Between the Lines uitbracht. Het nummer At Seventeen, over de gevoelens van iemand van die leeftijd die zich eenzaam voelt, werd een van haar bekendste liedjes. https://hvdommelen.nl/i/IanJ.html

Strijder124 wrote that Rob Jetten should profile himself less explicitly based on his homosexuality and instead focus on concrete issues in the Netherlands. He referenced criticism from Victor Vlam regarding a photo of Jetten. Vlam felt that the pose portrayed Jetten as the submissive partner and made a weak impression, which he believed did not fit a prime minister. He said that people wanted to have confidence in their leader and should be able to look up to that leader. Walking hand in hand in a professional setting, on the other hand, would not be a problem according to Vlam and could promote emancipation. #Leiderschap #Vertrouwen #Emancipatie (translated)
