Ik vraag mij eigenlijk af. Zijn de prijs en productie afspraken die de OPEC landen keer op keer maken om de prijzen hoog te houden eigenlijk wel legaal volgens onze wet en die van de EU? Valt dat niet onder kartelvorming.
En als dat daar onder valt waarom hebben wij daar nog niks aan gedaan, of proberen te doen?

quote:Bijna 50% van Nederlanders is bereid om te vechten voor ons land
Uit een onderzoek van het Haagse instituut Clingendael blijkt dat steeds meer Nederlanders bereid zijn om in oorlogstijd voor het vaderland te vechten.
Nederland staat niet bekend om zijn dienstbaarheid, vooral als het gaat om het verdedigen van het vaderland. Echter, er lijkt een verandering op komst te zijn. Bijna de helft van de Nederlanders is volgens het onderzoek bereid om de wapens op te nemen wanneer dat nodig is. Ongeveer een derde is hier niet voor te motiveren en de rest heeft nog geen beslissing genomen.
Uit het onderzoek van Clingendael blijkt dat Nederlanders zich steeds meer zorgen maken over de veiligheid in Europa. De bereidheid om deel te nemen aan militaire acties is daardoor de afgelopen jaren aanzienlijk gegroeid.
Clingendael-directeur Monika Sie Dhian Ho plaatst wel een kanttekening bij het artikel in De Telegraaf. “Een vragenlijst invullen en zeggen dat je wilt vechten, is nog wel wat anders dan echt de wapens oppakken als de Russen daadwerkelijk komen.”

A 43-year-old man has been detained after setting a military church in the city of Tyumen in Russia’s Urals on fire on Monday evening, the Tyumen region’s Investigative Committee said on Tuesday.
The man threw several Molotov cocktails at the Dmitry Donskoy Сhurch before fleeing on a bike, the Investigative Committee said, adding that criminal cases had been opened against him for vandalism and intentional destruction of or damage to property.
Footage circulated on the Telegram messaging app appeared to show the incident, with Tyumen news outlet 72.ru saying that the fire had been extinguished before the emergency services arrived.
The Kremlin-affiliated Mash Telegram channel said that the man had been told to set fire to the church by “phone scammers” from Ukraine, while the Baza channel reported that he had carried out the arson attempt to “return stolen money” from scammers.
Mash Telegram channel later reported that the man apparently told police that he attacked the church because he considered Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, to be “too wealthy”.
The Dmitry Donskoy Church was opened in 2007 at the request of a group of mothers of soldiers who died during the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. According to the church’s website, it holds daily prayers for Russia’s protection “from enemy invasions, discord, and strife”.
quote:Russians are considering using e-bikes for their assaults in Ukraine?
Russians have been increasingly attacking Ukrainian positions on motorcycles. They believe that fast motorcycles will help avoid drone strikes, bypass anti-tank mines, and avoid getting stuck in mud pits. But this progress has a continuation. From infantry fighting vehicles to UTVs, from UTVs to motorcycles, from motorcycles to… bicycles?
The fact that Russians are lacking armoured vehicles is obvious. Even Ural trucks, which are not even armoured, sometimes go to assaults. In addition, so-called turtle tanks are sometimes being used as improvised infantry transporters, replacing normal infantry fighting vehicles that can accommodate at least 8 passengers.
Russians are increasingly using motorcycles for assaults now because they believe they can be faster than drones, driving on narrow paths, avoiding landmines and artillery craters. While sometimes these motorbike assaults reach Ukrainian positions, usually they come to a brutal end much sooner. Therefore, Russians came up with a solution.
Andrei Filatov, Russia Today’s war correspondent, advises replacing motorcycles with electric bicycles because they are quieter, easier to transport and cheaper. After all, motorcycles will end someday too.

quote:Scholz: Striking Military Targets on Russian Territory With Western Weapons Won’t Lead to Escalation
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz does not believe that striking military targets on Russian territory with German-supplied weapons will lead to escalation.
“We are convinced that this will not lead to escalation, because — as the US President also said — the question is only about being able to defend such large cities as, for example, Kharkiv,” Scholz said on Monday, June 3, according to German media Rheinische Post.
The Chancellor noted that the decision to grant Kyiv the right to use German weapons was carefully considered in cooperation with Germany’s “friends and allies.” At the same time, Scholz assured German citizens that he would never allow pressure on himself to make “wrong and untimely decisions.”
On may 31, Germany has officially authorized Ukraine to use German-supplied weapons against bordering Russian territory near Kharkiv. Government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit explained the change in Berlin’s position on this issue by the increase in attacks by the Russian army in the Kharkiv region, which were “prepared, coordinated and carried out” from positions directly adjacent to the Russian border. “We all agree that Ukraine has the right to defend itself from these attacks under international law,” Hebestreit said.
The United States and a number of other Western countries have granted Kyiv the same right.
quote:Russia presents Drakon TOS-3 MRL for the first time
The Russian Ministry of Defense has presented its new TOS-3 Drakon flamethrower system with an extended range for the first time.
Russian media published footage of the rocket launcher.
The new Russian flamethrower system was presented on June 3 during a solemn event dedicated to the formation of the 1st Mobile NBC Protection Brigade of the NBC Protection Troops.
The organizers presented the audience with the military equipment and weapons that this military formation is equipped with. This may indicate the beginning of TOS-3 deliveries to the Russian Armed Forces.
Judging by the images, the TOS-3 is a further development of the TOS-1 system, which is based on the same T-72 tank chassis. The platform has traditionally received the Kontakt-5 ERA.
In addition, for the first time, the TOS-3 artillery system and the nearby TOS-2 system were fitted with standard factory-made anti-drone grilles to protect the missile launcher. The grilles themselves are also equipped with antennas of the Volnorez electronic warfare system.

quote:Russia Forcibly Sending Military Deserters to Front Line: Reports
Russia is forcibly sending its military deserters to the front line in Ukraine, according to an investigation.
Verstka, an independent Russian news outlet that was founded shortly after Ukraine war began, said in an investigation published on Monday that hundreds of Russians who refuse to fight in Ukraine are being forcibly deployed to the battlefield. Some are held at gunpoint and are physically abused or detained if they resist.
Newsweek has contacted Russia's Defense Ministry for comment by email.
Desertion has been an issue for Russia's military throughout President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In November 2022, the British Defense Ministry said Kremlin generals may have sanctioned the use of weapons against deserters, "including possibly authorizing shooting to kill such defaulters after a warning had been given."

quote:Up to 4,000 soldiers to protect Peace Summit in Switzerland
The Swiss army began providing security on Monday, 3 June for the upcoming Global Peace Summit in Switzerland at the Bürgenstock mountain resort near the city of Lucerne.
Source: Swissinfo, as reported by European Pravda
Details: Up to 4,000 military personnel from the Swiss Armed Forces will assist in various tasks from 5 to 19 June, including security, surveillance, command support and logistics.
The authorities are also stepping up measures to protect the airspace. The government has implemented airspace restrictions at the request of the canton of Nidwalden.
The Peace Summit in Switzerland will take place on 15-16 June.
Background:
• John Kirby, US National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, stressed that the United States' support for Ukraine would remain unchanged, regardless of who represents the US at the planned Peace Summit in Switzerland.
• The White House announced that US Vice President Kamala Harris and US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan would represent the US at the Global Peace Summit in Switzerland on 15-16 June.
• The media reported that US President Joe Biden had scheduled pre-election events in California in mid-June, so neither he nor Vice President Kamala Harris would be able to participate in the conference in Switzerland.
• In total, 107 countries and organisations have confirmed their participation in the summit.
