Rutte took the weapons, he wants our money too… According to their familiar tactics, the US chose a failed European politician as the new Secretary General of NATO. This tactic is useful since, in this way, the S.G. has the necessary acquaintances, contacts and knowledge of the political machinery of Europe to effectively promote the orders of Washington. Also, since he is a failed political figure, he has no qualms “which calluses he will step on” since he understands that this is probably his last chance to exercise power and get paid handsomely for it.
However, this recipe has the disadvantage that sometimes, even though they are corks, the chosen ones… After the inexorable Jens Stoltenberg, who was the Scandinavian equivalent, a North Korean news announcer, we believed that whoever replaces him would be better. But we had overlooked the Rutte case…
This almost metrosexual guy, an inert mixture of ruthless and cowardly, agile and short-sighted, meat-eater but also vegan, educated and illiterate, is ultimately ideal for the leadership of such a failed mechanism.
Taking on the position of NATO Secretary General, what else could he do but echo the official US policy, that is, that of Trump and not of course the zombie Biden. So like a good extra, he began to “exercise his duties”, with lines!
“If member countries do not increase their financial contribution (to NATO) to at least 3.7% of their GDP, in 4-5 years their citizens will have to learn Russian.”
With this statement – a line, he reminds us that the role of the “attacker” in the theater was never given to an extra but was always played by talented protagonists. So, Rutte better change course…
It is known that NATO member countries are already obliged to give about 2% of their GDP to the alliance. So when you ask for a vertical increase of almost 100%, you will have to justify it somehow, that is, with technocratic arguments, much stronger than high school nonsense. Unfortunately, Rutte cannot. He does not have the level to be able to manage such issues, which is why he pretends to be a breakfast show host.
The essence of the statement is that bankrupt America is no longer able to maintain the occupation army in Europe. Have no doubt that the US army in Europe, with the NATO badge on its arm, is something more than an occupation army. That is why there has never been a single (!) corresponding NATO exercise on US soil in so many decades!
Think about it. NATO was created under the pretext of the Soviet threat to Europe. After so many decades of operational non-existence, as far as the USSR is concerned, it no longer has a reason to exist. However, it has a role in the expansionist operations of the US in Iraq, Libya, etc. Therefore, because this deafening dissonance began to be perceived by the plebeians of Europe, the Russian Federation was upgraded (completely paranoid) as an enemy and therefore NATO must exist, stronger and richer … so that we do not learn Russian …
Of course, Rutte’s stupidities do not work on an economic level. In principle, linking GDP to the financing of the alliance is a fraud. NATO (like any organization) must have a budget. These are specific numbers, while GDP is not! So what is Rutte telling us? Give money and you have no idea how it will be spent…
It is an undeniable fact that the USA is an empire of our time. And of course they behave like emperors. But it is also a fact that they are in decline. With a society divided into dozens of factions. With an economy suffocatingly swamped with 33 trillion in debt that increases by 100 million every day that passes and with the Pentagon budget with a huge black hole of close to 20 billion.
So it is the right time for the plebeians to expel the occupiers.
As for Rutte, he must understand that the logic of “pay the existing occupation army to be safe from a possible change of occupier” is at least stupid.
Someone needs to remind him that:
“It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and prove it.”
Here is a good quote from Abraham Lincoln…
