such a pathetic little worm
We should send him on his way to daddy Trump.
Put him in an inflatable €5 boat on the Atlantic.

No doubt. So that we would have been forced to buy US weapons. Shameless.

Holy fuck Rutte is such a tool 🤦‍♂️

He is the perfect illustration of a spineless slimy politician. Compared to him brutishness of Trump is even endearing. At least you know whats up.

To play devil’s advocate here, that is not really what he said and this title is misleading. Mark Rutte is a slimy kiss-ass and there is really no need to make his words more infuriating than they already are

The only thing you can argue is that he says the USA has not yet started a war against Ansarallah and he says Europe should should do so.

the USA has not yet started a war against Ansarallah

IDN what or when it is considered a 'war', but they definitely have been bombing Yemen for decades.
When they weren't busy letting their vassals do their dirty work.

I’m not really looking to start a long discussion here, but you can argue that he implied a lot of things.

You can also take it as him saying he applauds the US for simply putting in the effort, but that the EU needs to stand on its own legs in the future (if we want to solve it on our own terms, without total war, that is).

Again, the guy is a whacko but I like my titles to be precise, and not ragebait.

The guy’s whole shtick is that he is a kiss-ass and does a lot of double speak, so you can take it both ways.

Mark Rutte who is European is as much of an ass kissing clown as his American boss. You are warping reality to deny what he is saying. He is praising an illegal war of aggression and assasination of heads of states. Pure terrorism.
