NATO Chief Mark Rutte Says Trump Right On Arctic Security

“I’m Defending Donald Trump”: World Leader Steps Up to Tell Everyone They Should Be Thankful for U.S. President

Quote:
As much of Europe pushes back against President Donald Trump’s bid to acquire Greenland, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is taking a markedly different stance, telling Europe that it should “be happy” Trump is in charge.

Speaking Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Rutte credited Trump with forcing major European powers — including France, Italy, and Spain — to finally step up their defense commitments. Without Trump’s pressure, Rutte said, these countries would never have agreed to spend 2% of their gross domestic product on defense.

“I’m not popular with you now because I’m defending Donald Trump, but I really believe you can be happy that he is there because he has forced us in Europe to step up, to face the consequences that we have to take care of more of our own defense,” Rutte said at a panel discussion titled “Can Europe defend itself?” at the World Economic Forum, according to Politico.

Twice he referred to Greenland as Iceland.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Those are two VERY different things. Twisting an arm to get the European countries to ‘pay their fair share’ is reasonable. Threatening to forcibly take over a neighboring ally is a whole different ballgame.

ESPECIALLY when there is not one dot of evidence that ANY US request for military access has ever been denied!

Trump is demonstrating the early stges of dementia.

He wants to leave a legacy, to change the world, but he's fumbling and unable to accomplish the task correctly or respectfully.

Just a bull (shitter) in a china shop.

I’m not so sure. He definitely has mental problems, but it may not be dementia per se. His recent ‘word salads’ might just be his mental limitations being shown, as opposed to ‘dementia’. As an example, Harris babbled a lot but I’d never say she was exhibiting signs of dementia.

Yeah, could be something other than dementia.

Unbridled arrogance mixed with failing abilities would be my next guess.

Whatever he's doing, he trolls whole countries or multiple countries. Potentially, Greenland or the Danish mobilized forces for stupid reasons. Which costs money and distress. I don't think they did a lot, but fortunately it stopped...for now.

Something else could start tomorrow.
