Hahahaha Politico 😂
Il fait fausse Rutte. 😅
Did they launch him from a catapult?!?
Mark Rutte still talks like it is old nato.
He doesn’t realize he is talking about stuff that doesn’t exist anymore
No he’s not 🙄
> Even the secretary-general’s successful effort in helping to get Trump to back off his Greenland threats at the Jan. 19-23 Davos summit in Switzerland is raising questions about whether it’s just a temporary reprieve and if the U.S. will still attempt to take control of parts of the Arctic island.
There’s a fable about that. A fly spends a whole trip buzzing, annoying the driver, their horse and being a nuisance rather than any help. At the end, the fly brag they are the reason the travel was swift. Rutte is that fly. It wasn’t his „negotiations“ that made Trump back off. If anything, by making Europe look weak, he is increasing the risk the USains will decide to invade latter.
Trump chickened out because of the soldiers sent to Greenland (and against which he threw a tantrum when he understood it wouldn’t be as easy as he thought) and the threat of retaliation against his unilateral tariffs.
At the same time, if NATO collapses, he loses his job.
My bet is on the European capitals, they have way more mass and inertia.
It’s just theatre. He’s in the trump barrel. Taking one for the team.
We need Macron I think in that role. Someone who has charisma and respect. Rutte got some of it right but he’s not the right person now. The world has changed and needs decisive action.
Politico is echoing conservative Maga b.s.
I wish I could block automatically anything from Politico within Reddit.
Is he a satellite, is he out of control?
I miss Jens Stoltenberg
His job description is keeping the Americans in, the Russians out, and the Germans down. That’s what he’s doing. He’s kept Europe honest in its Article 3 obligations, he’s organized continous support for Ukraine, and he’s kept Germany from stabbing the alliance in the back again.
We in the Netherlands have a lot of experience with Mark Rutte. He is an expert on saving his own job and postion. This goes above all else with him. He made sure there were never and contenders within his own party and left it Rutt(h)erless (pun intended). He was responsible for turning our tax ministry into a sort of gestapo and basically ruined the lives of about 40.000 dutch people. He never got called to take responsibility because of the cowards who were in a coalition with him. He is more than willing and abel to throw the entirety of Europe under the bus to save his own position a chief of a NATO he deems fitting. The man is machavellian to the core.
He’s just saying what everyone else is afraid to
He speaks the truth & the truth always hurts. Go Mark Go!
They say it was Rutte’s efforts that persuaded Trump to not invade Greenland. Yeah right. This buttlicker is just a vast empty space. A ball of lint from my left pocket could do a better job.
The whole act with him calling Trump for Daddy is a huge embarrasment. We only have Trump’s words for he and Rutte made an agreement.
I see Politico i downvote
He has the job of a bureaucraut. Or you can say he is NATOs defence-lawyer, here. It’s his job to work for NATOs survival.
He might not even mean it.
I hope he knows he fights a losing battle, but he is playing his part in the movie, I give him that.
Fire the guy already
He works for NATO which primarily exists to sell usa weapons and to put usa bases around the world so of course he will not be on europes side between them and usa.
Rutte is a bad person and an even worst leader. Completely unfit for the job.
The Emperor is Naked and its Ruttes job to say that he is not naked. Its going to get more difficult as time goes on.
Well now the only thing to do is to buy time and kick the can down the road in regards to Trump’s/US demands with as little loss as possible, because Europe’s rearmament and increase of self sufficiency capabilities takes time. Rutte bought some time. Now the onus is on European capitals to make the best of that time and understand that US is actually an antagonist and potentially a far bigger threat than Russia.
A new world order is emerging, the US is powerful indeed but the decay has begun for quite some time, now it finally spills outwards. The collective West had some good decades where everyone was „happy“, now is the time to reconsider and get back to the drawing board.
I don’t blame Rutte for trying to preserve the US-European alliance. I blame him for being a total bootlicker in the process and for humiliating Europe. Rutte is so embarrassingly subservient to Trump, it’s almost as if he’s enjoying it.
Can he be sacked? Because either he supports the European governments, their own sovereignty and interests, or he is a stooge for the dangerous US dementia headed cult.
He obviously has no faith or loyalty to Europe and prefers the orange painted cult so he should go.
Good to ruffle some feathers. Spain has big words but won’t commit budget. European countries have to *show* that they can work together.
