If you have no manners, you should stay at home.
If you visit St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome please remember,
Catholicism is a religion of obedience & follow the rules.
Also, etiquette is not optional.
This is what main character syndrome looks like.

Perhaps it’s time we focused more on this than on slavery from more than 150 years ago.

Applebaum: What binds Russia, China, Iran and North Korea is not religion or ideology.
China is communist, Russia nationalist, Iran theocratic. What binds them is fear of liberal language: rights, rule of law, separation of powers and independent courts. 1/

The second National Resilience Training cohort was a success: 202 of 219 participants completed the 10-week program. After 4 nights in the field and a final march into Amsterdam, these reservists received their berets and are now ready to strengthen Dutch resilience and security.

Ook in het centrum van Amsterdam wordt gewerkt aan onze weerbaarheid. 200 deelnemers aan de Nationale Weerbaarheidstraining voltooiden vandaag hun militaire opleiding. Mooie omgeving voor de eindmars en een tocht door de grachten!
