They went from denouncing him to being like an addict “scratches neck give me another war man. I’ll… I’ll suck ya dick”
crazy what an increase in defense spending will do to a man (especially when its your army getting the cash). You hate to see it
These guys were “decoupling from fascism” a month ago btw
I thought rutte would become like a banker or something and we’d never have to see him again, but this NAVO arc is shit
You don’t understand. He’s a genius politician in the Netherlands. Lol you leftists just don’t understand how politics work. He’s saying this to butter Trump up like the genius he is.
This has been causing funny liberal infighting. Some mix of this is true realpolitik vs. If it crawls like a dog and barks like a dog it is a dog.
So there’s three things going on:
- Rutte’s broken English means he didn’t understand the nuances of “daddy” versus “papa” in Dutch, which doesn’t carry the submissive undertones as much as the former.
- In the Netherlands he’s known for his very casual and informal personality (“he’s the world leader that cycles to work!”). Dutch business culture is more relaxed, so here it works, but internationally it doesn’t.
- He’s always been like this much of a bootlicker with Trump, even back during his first term. He really wants to be on good terms with the United States, so when Trump is in charge he always kisses the ring.
