Richard -While watching NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte pledge “unwavering support” to a non-NATO country, remember his record as Prime Minister of the Netherlands.Under his leadership, the Dutch military was subjected to deep and damaging budget cuts.Yet the moment the NATO Secretary General position came within his sights, his tune changed completely. Suddenly, he became an enthusiastic champion of increased defense spending,precisely the kind of position that would keep Washington happy and improve his chances of landing the job.That isn’t principle.That is naked political opportunism.These people don’t follow convictions; they follow positions, power, and personal ambition.When the circumstances change, so do their principles.Rutte’s transformation is a textbook example of political careerism at its most shameless.

Mark Rutte -As Ukraine marks 35 years of independence, we continue to stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦
