AUDIO extracts of the press conference at the White House where Mark Rutte's NATO Economy (https://lnkd.in/gmuAKzr7 came into force; https://lnkd.in/eyWfehT6
The US is going to deliver US-made war equipment for Ukraine but the other NATO countries are going to pay the bills. Again the horrible war in Ukraine will make the ultra rich shareholders in the US even more rich. Trump also threatens Russia with a 100% tariff. The 50 days ultimatum he mentioned even surprised EU-High Representative Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas. But why should Trump hurry? The more he can prolong this horrible war, the more profit he can make. War has never been more profitable for the US than today?!
It is no coincidence that all this is happening at a time when most European democracies are on summer recess! When Rutte says that Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, UK and Canada are all in complete agreement on this 'big thing', is he telling the truth, or is his boss forcing him to say so?!
Alarmingly Trump uses his controversial attack on Iran as ‘proof’ of how good American War Equipment is, thus also confirming again that the international legal order does not apply to the US.
Rutte's involvement with 'The Trump Gang' seems more important to him than NATO. Rutte now only abuses NATO to enforce the demands of his 'boss'. Trump constantly praises Rutte. Obviously the ‘bagman’ is doing the right job for his ‘boss’.
It is truly shocking to hear Trump praise Marco Rubio for his handling of the situation in Gaza, while sitting next to him, silently, is Mark Rutte, who actively, spiritually and politically supports the catastrophic Gaza Genocide. Rutte even abuses his position as SG of NATO to protect his close friend and accused War Criminal Netanyahu. Rutte systematically avoids questions about the Gaza Genocide and downplays the situation in the Middle East, calling it a ‘local issue’.
When it comes to real business, Trump emphatically emphasizes that Matt Whitaker, the US ambassador to NATO, is in charge. For Trump, Matt Whitaker is the Secretary General of NATO. Rutte is merely the "bagman", proudly fishing for compliments by calling his "boss" the most powerful man in the world and the ultimate global policeagent.
Europe has to pay now for all the American War Equipment, but at the same time Rutte's Daddy Trump also imposes a 30% tariff on the EU. He tells a journalist that everything has already been agreed upon: "The letters are the deals!". The words of a Global Dictator?! "Our nuclear submarines are so powerful, most powerful weapon in the world. I just hope we don't have to use it."
STOP Mark Rutte as Secretary General of NATO
