Thank you for reporting about NATO. We North Americans need to understand how important it is for the whole world, including for us! 🇨🇦 A free Europe is a safer, more prosperous world, everywhere.

what is rutte doing there and why does everyone think this is good? He has destroyed families, most of them have not yet been compensated and the actual cover-up of the tax scandals is not even public yet, while Rutte himself has fled and can now destroy NATO. remember there are still 2000 children missing. no one knows where they are. many people have ended their own lives because of him and there are more than 100 charges against this man! what is he doing there?

He was the slipperiest dutch politician, a shameless liar and a periodical coveniently amnesia patient. And now a war monger seving the military industrial complex. Great.

Prime minister of “Nazilands”??? That may be true. He already said we should be ready for a war.

[jerrymillerstein]

He needs to get NATO members to start paying more for Ukraine and their own defense. He can start with the Netherlands.

NATO need to stop aggravating Russia, leave them with buffer states and stop creeping EU territories up to theirs
