**This week’s session is a structured debate.** The question is not whether you *like* Donald Trump. The question is whether his geopolitical actions represent a coherent long-term strategic recalibration — or short-term transactional disruption. We aim for analytical distance. No cult energy. No Trump Derangement Syndrome. We examine the **who**, **what, why, when, and how**: * What concrete strategic shifts occurred under his policies? * Why did he use tariffs, sanctions, NATO pressure, and bilateral deals as leverage? * When does unpredictability strengthen negotiation? * How did his approach change global alignments? * Did he accelerate the shift from cooperation to competitive realism? This debate welcomes different conclusions: * Was this strategic chess? * Was it destabilizing improvisation? * Was it a transitional phase in a multipolar world? * Did it expose fragilities in the liberal international order? ## **What Makes This Different** We are not here for partisan tribalism. **We welcome:** * **Pro-Trump arguments** * **Anti-Trump arguments** * **Structural/system-level critiques** We reject: * Moral hysteria * Slogan repetition * Performative outrage * Intellectual laziness * TDS This is not a space for ideological defense teams. It is a space for stress-testing ideas. No one will be shamed for defending or criticizing Trump. Ideas will be challenged. Individuals will not. ## **Debate Principles** * Speak from analysis, not emotion * Bring facts, context, or comparative examples * Distinguish personality from policy outcomes * Argue ideas, not identities Strong disagreement is expected. Good faith is required. *** ## **Location & RSVP** 📍 Ixelles – public bar Exact venue shared via WhatsApp after RSVP. Join here to confirm attendance: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LX7UkWGZ3UdLQWLBvNdezN Briefly introduce yourself when joining. AS always, no creeps or people who are looking to date.

What's up Friends! 👋 Let's break the ice again! 😂 ! 🧊✨ This time let's try after work when the rink should be less busy🤞 📍 Time & place: Feel free to join at any time. For the ones who can make it at 18:30 we'll meet inside the Posseidon ice rink in the skate rental room. ❄️ The idea: Skate as long as you like (rink closes at 10pm). For the ones who get tired (of falling) we can meet at the cafeteria around 19:30 to recharge with some drinks and snacks. 🤑 Entry fee (cash or card): 13 EUR with skate rental 9 EUR if you bring your own skates 💁‍♂️ good to know: Consider arriving 15 mins earlier - getting a ticket takes time when there’s a line! ⏳ Bring a 50 cent coin for a locker if you need one (non-refundable) Picture ID is required for skate rental. Bring your handgloves🧤- you will need 'em! More info: https://www.skate-poseidon.be/ ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Skating is fun, but safety comes first! When the rink is very crowded (Fridays, weekend) stay extra alert! Enjoy responsibly! 👀 Keep an eye on last-minute details in the chat. 💬 See you there😉

Hi Runners, It’s that time of year again! The 20k of Brussels is on the horizon, and there’s no better way to prepare than by hitting the actual course. We are excited to announce our first official preview run of the season. This 15k session is designed to be a "steady and social" effort, allowing us to cover a significant portion of the route while keeping the atmosphere friendly and inclusive, we will hit the infamous Tervuren Avenue incline!! The Details: Meeting Point: Right in front of Cafe To Meli (close to Rond-point Schuman). Sunday, February 22nd at 09:30 AM. Logistics: A bag/jacket drop is available at the cafe, so you can run light and have dry clothes ready for afterward. After-Run: We’ll be grabbing a "cuppa" at the cafe post-run to warm up and chat strategy. This is a great chance to build your base mileage and meet fellow runners before the big day. No need to stress the pace—we're sticking to a comfortable 6:00-6:15 min/km. See you at Schuman! Best, The Brussels Runners Team

([Strava Event](https://www.strava.com/clubs/1211350/group_events/2021351)) Join us for our weekly Saturday run at 10 am at Bois de la Cambre ! We run 5 kms around Bois de la Cambre divided in one bigger lap of 3,5 kms and a smaller one of 1,5 kms. Both start and end at the Woodpecker so, if needed, you can stop there after the first lap. Our goal is to make running more accessible, for that, the pace is very beginner friendly which is around 06:30-07:00 min/km. Let's all have a drink after and chat at the Woodpecker of Bois de la Cambre.

Set out for an energizing afternoon micro-adventure in the "Flemish Ardennes". This hilly and scenic region in the West of Belgium. With a small crew of explorers, we’ll hike through lush nature trails, taking in the scenery and challenging ourselves with a sporty pace. Expect winding paths, panoramic views, and plenty of chances to reconnect with nature while enjoying a light but adventurous outing. **RESERVATION OPENS THE WEEK BEFORE THE EVENT** **Practically:** The plan is to meet at a metro station. We car pool from there to Kortrijk region. We will arrive there a bit before lunch, possible we have a coffee and we take of for the hike. The hike is 3 hours walk. You should bring lunch as we have lunch on the trail. After the hike we have a drink and we return to Brussels around 18h. *Car Sharing* PP numbers depend of number of drivers. **Let me know if you need a ride if you offer a car to share.** 10 eur pp for car sharing.

We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive intensity, and the last session is lighter. Program: 15’ warm up **To be defined** Cool down to get back to the starting point… or more S=All out sprint RF = Run fast, at MAS (Maximum aerobic speed) CF = Run comfortably fast (1h threshold) J = Jog, recuperation Notes: It should take about one hour in total, as the cool down will end when we reach back to the meeting point. It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the program, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle. For the "run" part, you can follow your own pace and we'll be regrouping in the "jog" part. Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'/km so this pace should feel very comfortable ***Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability.*** By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organizers from any responsibility and liability in all claims. As the participation is strictly voluntary and you freely choose to join, it is the responsibility of individuals participating to ensure that they are fit enough and have adequate coverage to protect themselves.
