Yeah me neither, it's like my news tab and my youtube tab molded for a second. Rutte certainly has positive qualities that make him a good leader, if he's in need of a spine he has a steel one. But he's also quite capable of lying with a smile on his face. He's not corrupt or greedy though, highly unlikely to be shown to have a history of assaulting women or the other things you might find in men who get power.

It's spelled 'compromise' and no, Rutte doesnot have that ability, that is a myth. I have been on 3 'handelsmissies' (trade missions) with mr. Rutte and he is a different man, when he is not the center of attention. He shows little interest in other people, than those he assumes to be the right people to talk to, he cannot be trusted for his words and most will notice this behaviour pretty fast. When he is around people he doesnot know, he is out of his comfort zone. He is by far not the extrovert, humorous man he always portrays to be. A wolf in disguise.

I'm sure along with the letter there were some other promises/rewards offered to Orban. Orban only opposes things to get a benefit for Hungary, he'll always give in for the right price, just like he seemingly left the meeting when there was a vote to help Ukraine some time ago. He never voted in favor so he kept his word and the others got what they wanted for a negotiated reward that wasn't made public.

A couple of years ago, Rutte was a guest at Zomergasten, a Dutch talkshow/interview program. I like it, because it's an all-evening show and it gives the interviewer a lot of time to really get deeper into the material. Anyway, if you can, you should watch the episode with Mark Rutte, because it does explain a lot of why he is the kind of man that he is. Why he rather avoids dealing with unpleasant things, for instance. His father was a prisoner in a Japanese interment camp, his mother was the sister of his father's first wife, who was killed in the camps. Mark Rutte had a brother who died of aids. All very traumatic memories, but neither of them were ever talked about in the Rutte's household. And he doesn't think that's potentially damaging to one's mental health. It paints a picture of a man who never learned how to handle negative emotions, so he avoids them. And that's something I recognize in how he does politics. He doesn't solve problems, he waits untill the problem becomes a crisis, and then he can't avoid it any longer. But he never takes responsibility for it either, everything just seems to happen, without there being any reason for it.

Btw i think Poland is safe.... and i see a scenario that Poland actually becomes the most powerful military power in mainland Europe if sh... hits the proverbial fan lol International relations is a simple game and is at least 5000 years old. it was and is almost the same and little has changed. You want a simple example? one great power supports the reign of a king deposing the previous king which had alligned with the opposing great power. This great power attacks to put their king back on throne. The small kingdom gets devastated. The 2 great power fight eachother on the ground of this small kingdom. If one wind ... well case is closed. If not they negotiate about what to do and stop the bloodshed ( money, treasury lol ) and risk of rebellions at home because of too much troops being away or invasions. So they come to agreements. Either they partition this kingdom. Or they exchange..... you take cilicia back...we take Armenia and we both declare ouw victory to our people. We'll fight later on some other issue .... no hard feelings. They even might decide that one decides who will rule the kingdom, while the other should assign that person as a king. Again both powers claim a victory. You can find 100 of these between the Romans and persians in their long rivalry. In conclusion.... we knew what could happen..... and now we know how to settle it.

There are more reasons. For one: Europe has been held hostage by the USA since WWII, spending most of its defence budget on USA weaponry. Not all, most. Word even goes, that NATO prevented the EU from properly expanding. Mais bon. Then there is NATO vs the USA vs the Pacific. The USA spends 3.35% of their GDP on defence. How much of that 3.35% is spent on NATO (North Atlantic TO), how much is spent on USA-only interests (the Americas) and how much is spent in the Pacific? Europe's main interests are Europe and Africa. We might have a lot of financial stakes around the world, but we have no defence spending there.

@@bradley6357 You're either too stubborn or too stupid to understand that your reaction has no logical connection to the points I was trying to make. Also, more than one thing can be true at the same time. 1. People need to work to create their own happiness. 2. Governments are in a role of responsibility and have a major effect on the probability and equality of said happiness. It's absolutely ludicrous to pull the two apart, as if the way a country is governed does not have a direct effect. We don't exist in a vacuum. The better social structures and equality, the less conflict. They can literally predict genocides by looking at how countries are governed. So go educate yourself and read academic studies before clapping back with that unrealistic, simplistic bullshit.

He and his party (VVD) is pointed to the source as EVERYTHING that went wrong in the Netherlands for the last 12 years. But it honestly isn't that bad. He has his controversies and scandals but also managed to govern a country which was extremely politically divided with lots of small parties gaining popularity. I think he will do fine in NATO, and honestly didn't do that bad of a job in the Netherlands.

The point is that under Rutte's rule The Netherlands demolished big parts of its social welfare system to the betterman of those already rich. Classical neoliberal policies with only very little help for those perishing in society. Policywise Rutte was a disaster for the lower and lower middle class. As far as his skills as politician go he is pretty much unmatched. Many people can't seem to distinguish between the policies Rutte stands for and his objective skills as a politician. The latter makes him a good candidate for SG of NATO.

The defense spending plummeting under Rutte's watch is an aftereffect of budget cuts that were already instated in the 90s and continued by coalitions before Rutte. He had little influence in this. His party (VVD) has always been in favour of more budget for the dod, and no one in his position could have increased it. However much you might dislike him, you can't discredit him here, he tried his best.

He could have raised defence spending to 2% GDP gradually from then on and would have reached the target in 2017. But no. He never was interested in security in the first place.

Weeks prior to the embarking of the soldiers, the soldiers involved were told to order it online, and be reimbursed by the government for their online spending. Some soldiers, in a form of protest, bought brightly colored winter gear, meant for skiing and hiking. Suffice to say they had a hard time hiding in the frigid Norwegian snow and ice...

He's not extreme, he's not too stuck in his ways, he's just gonna steer the boat slow and steady around the rocks but if anyone pisses him off he can draw a line in the sand and make you regret pissing him off.

@@Drag0nvil No, that's not correct. Definitely not "fur". It's something between "oo" and "eh". You pout your lips a bit. One of my relatives is Dutch, my sister translates books from Dutch etc., so I should know.

@@martavdz4972 and for the word rut? I guess I once more am getting confirmed that I got a thick Dutch accent. Would still say that pronouncing rut as written is better than pronouncing it as root though

14 years of more poverty, less homes, tons on misses during Covid and a selective memory when on trial. Good luck Europe.

As a Dutch guy, I think this is a fair profile. Didn't seem to have any big holes and no big mistakes, (as many comments pointed out, it wasn't an apology, which I think already shows how he is able to manipulate perception). I wish him luck, this won't be an easy job. Whatever you think of the man, I have the impression he works hard to make things work.
