NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Sunday offered a full-throated endorsement of Donald Trump’s military efforts against Iran and also said he expects the nations of NATO to come together to support Trump.
Rutte has consistently been supportive of Trump even as some of the leading European powers — noting that NATO is intended to be a defensive alliance — have expressed reluctance to help Trump with the Iran war, including with U.S. efforts to make the Strait of Hormuz safe for the passage of oil tankers.
Trump, for his part, has lashed out at NATO. “Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran,” he wrote on Truth Social on Friday. “Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices. So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!”
What an idiot. Europe has nothing to gain in this war. Many leaders have already said it’s not Europe’s war. They just need to sit this out and the balance of power will swing in their favor.
BLOCK POLITCO, WE DISCUSSED THIS ON EUROPE COMMUNITY! THEY ONLY PUBLISH BATES!
Bark harder for Trump, Rutte
Fuck the NATO. Bunch of corrupted cronies
No. Fuck Trump. Fuck Netanyahu. This is on them. NATO needs to stay the fuck out of it.
Yes, Rutte does want to fuck Trump and maybe Netanyahu as well. Isn.t it obvious? He has a massive boycrush on Trump!
NATO better stay the fuck out of this. Fuck Trump and his bullshit distractions.
What do you mean, we are together. The only outlier is the US.
Rutte has been burning his credibility in my eyes at a alarming rate.
I get that he needs to do at least some level of ass kissing towards the US but he does it with his tongue very far up in there and with a weird eagerness. I don’t understand what his strategy is with trump.
My take is that he decided the best way to handle it is to go so far over the top that it’s clear for everyone that what he’s doing is a clown act
Playing it serious would actually be more hurtful to his reputation in the long run
What credibility? He was always a racist piece of shit. Look up “brief aan de Nederlanders” ffom 2017.

Fucking asshole that dude. Always has been.
What credibility?
Mostly stuff relating to Ukraine. Though I do have some complaints about him with that as well. But on the whole he’s handled Ukraine related things agreeable.
Look up “brief aan de Nederlanders” ffom 2017.
I don’t speak Dutch so I’ll skip, I’ll take your word for it. I don’t respect him at all anymore, so there’s really not much to gain to go through translating that stuff.
Trump wants to rope in everyone to make ww3. There is no low he will not stoop to.
No. I’m not paying for this in additional taxes. Suck my fat return.
So is he the new Mark Felt or the new Nancy Regan?
