Social services should be free and widely available but require permanent sterilization. Any existing children will be inducted into state institutions for reeducation and training to serve as cannon fodder for the inevitable resource wars.

That pic sais it all about Russia getting away from the airliner that got shot down by them haha, well unfortunately Russia can get away with pretty much anything nowadays since it's such an important state. I also believe that some of the stuff happening right now in the world is just made on purpose by the governments but I may just be wrong.

Man its too bad the US can't get away with anything like invading a country under false pretenses, destabilizing the region, killing a bunch of people etc all with a bunch of friends while Russia just has to take an insignificant part of their neighbor and maybe supply some advanced weapons systems to people who shouldnt have them and before you know it everyone is sanctioning them and the ruble is poo poo etc. Or something like that.

Won't be necessary, the production value of a Citizen requires no taxation. Corporate economic and industrial tithes are extracted from the owners of non-nationalized companies to cover the costs of governance leaving the Citizen free to pursue civic enrichment. Those that fail to contribute to the good of the nation are not penalized beyond sterilization and mandatory nonparticipation in civic discourse.

Those that are malleable enough to "serve" in the ranks of the engineered "communities" within the Duggar Doctrine Judeochristian extremist exclusion zones should provide enough raw human material to die for rare earths in the Xinjiang chem-wastes.

Dempsey Sponsors Essay Competition to Honor Saudi King

By Jim Garamone
DoD News, Defense Media Activity
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26, 2015 – The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has established a research and essay competition in honor of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz hosted by the National Defense University.
The king, who died Jan. 23 at age 90, oversaw the modernization of his country’s military during the time he spent as commander of the Saudi Arabian National Guard, a position he held from 1963 until he became king in 2005.
Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey said the essay competition is a fitting tribute to the life and leadership of the Saudi Arabian monarch.

Armed Forces Foundation head and noted racecar driver-dating psycho Patricia Driscoll, callsign Pocket Commando, apparently attempted a smear campaign on the USO and to undercut PVA's involvement with NASCAR and may have violated her choice of child labor laws (a 7-year old supposedly volunteering 8 hours a day at numerous events in exchange for first class tickets) or tax code (writing off those same tickets) in the process of doing AFF events.

From what I've read it'd probably be justified, but I kinda think that a couple years getting the poo poo kicked out of him by every Talib who wanted to hear a white guy scream "Oh my Sheikh!" was probably punishment enough.

How do Dutch citizens seem to feel about Rutte and the administration acting in this way?

Speaking for myself, I'm pretty disappointed but willing to withhold judgement until we see the official response when the investigation comes to the conclusion that it was the separatists.
I'm afraid it will be as spineless as we've been so far though.

It also reinforces that culturally there is no such thing as a European citizen identity, because outside of the Netherlands people obviously care even less.
Without that we're limited to endlessly compromised sanctions because on our own we're just to small and dependent on the outside world.
According to wikipedia the total size of our imports+exports is 150% of GDP compared to 30% for the US. That is largely a good thing but it limits our options in this case.

So the best Rutte can do is lobby like hell with the rest of Europe for a harsher response. I imagine this sort of stuff happens behind closed doors but I would like to see a sign we're at least playing the underhanded game.

tl;dr:
The powerful do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.

edit: It has also reinforced in my mind that even though I'm a pretty big proponent of European integration from a practical/efficiency/effectiveness perspective, it is crucial we remain close friends of the US at the same time.
If that means buying some of your awful F35s to gain favour, so be it.

So when you guys hear about some tragedy in India, do you also automatically "adjust for inflation"? Like, I hear "ten thousand killed in a riptide at an India beach" and adjust it in my head to "that's about 6 people in a country with a non-batshit population density"
