Photo of Mark Rutte celebrating NordStream2. Mark Rutte was PM when MH17 was shot down by Russia in 2014. Dutch friends of mine organized a meeting in Kyiv to honor the victims. We met in Podil near the Dutch Embassy. Rutte prohibited diplomats from attending our vigil. It could provoke Russia.

Should we do the same ?
Drive away the USA more in this conflict?
I think the man is in an impossible position.
But he surely stands for democracy, no doubt about it.
I can see him pleasing both parties here, USA as well as russia. I believe this is needed in this time of negotiation.
Frans Timmermans expressed appreciation for Rutte's approach of his meeting with Trump.
He's proving that he's not European and that he's acting in a guilty spirit of appeasement. This is no longer tolerated for our collective European security.
As such, mainstream Europa denied it all together 🤑🤐🫣😍
Fuck.
Should have been Sana Marin!!!
Fillon resigned from his Russian positions.
Дякую за допис. Нагадали.
Rutte blowing up NATO by confronting Trump will only help Putin.
Not all can act like pseudo heroic key board warriors, because their actions have conseqy.
Never a stand up guy for any principle. But NATO is becoming just a standard of ammo organization. Even the logistics aspect is losing ground, EU will probably not fight with the US for a while, and stays near Europa. We have a war here.
As PM of Netherlands, Rutte has provided a lot more to Ukraine than, say, France.
He is trying to gain time and keep the Americans in the alliance while Europe is preparing its own defense capabilities.
