They may lie about a lot but I assume this video is real

Honestly if Rutte were less imbecilic, I’d say I’m surprised that he went on Newsmax… but I’m not, if I’m being honest.

While it’s true that NATO has devolved into the headline you posted, it shouldn’t be, and the widening US/EU split has a silver lining of returning the defensive alliance more to it’s original intent of being, you know, a defensive alliance, instead of a proxy arm of US geopolitical and military projection.

It has always been an aggresieve alliance. Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and more.

It defends against Russian aggression and influence.
