Yeah me neither, it's like my news tab and my youtube tab molded for a second. Rutte certainly has positive qualities that make him a good leader, if he's in need of a spine he has a steel one. But he's also quite capable of lying with a smile on his face. He's not corrupt or greedy though, highly unlikely to be shown to have a history of assaulting women or the other things you might find in men who get power.

It's spelled 'compromise' and no, Rutte doesnot have that ability, that is a myth. I have been on 3 'handelsmissies' (trade missions) with mr. Rutte and he is a different man, when he is not the center of attention. He shows little interest in other people, than those he assumes to be the right people to talk to, he cannot be trusted for his words and most will notice this behaviour pretty fast. When he is around people he doesnot know, he is out of his comfort zone. He is by far not the extrovert, humorous man he always portrays to be. A wolf in disguise.

I'm sure along with the letter there were some other promises/rewards offered to Orban. Orban only opposes things to get a benefit for Hungary, he'll always give in for the right price, just like he seemingly left the meeting when there was a vote to help Ukraine some time ago. He never voted in favor so he kept his word and the others got what they wanted for a negotiated reward that wasn't made public.

Also, in a time when NATO is not very sure about what it wants for the future, maybe they decided that a compromise-builder and set of steady hands was in order.

VVD only has to shout enthusiastically 'mouwen opstropen!' and the cross goes into the box. Someone else suggests a useful policy like e.g. affordable healthcare and the electorate goes into a flap believing all the lies spewed out around it. De gemiddelde stemmer hier in NL is een volstrekte domkop.

A couple of years ago, Rutte was a guest at Zomergasten, a Dutch talkshow/interview program. I like it, because it's an all-evening show and it gives the interviewer a lot of time to really get deeper into the material. Anyway, if you can, you should watch the episode with Mark Rutte, because it does explain a lot of why he is the kind of man that he is. Why he rather avoids dealing with unpleasant things, for instance. His father was a prisoner in a Japanese interment camp, his mother was the sister of his father's first wife, who was killed in the camps. Mark Rutte had a brother who died of aids. All very traumatic memories, but neither of them were ever talked about in the Rutte's household. And he doesn't think that's potentially damaging to one's mental health. It paints a picture of a man who never learned how to handle negative emotions, so he avoids them. And that's something I recognize in how he does politics. He doesn't solve problems, he waits untill the problem becomes a crisis, and then he can't avoid it any longer. But he never takes responsibility for it either, everything just seems to happen, without there being any reason for it.

​@@thesaw9988The PVV isn't left-ish, and their party program isn't socialist. They are a far right party that dabbles in copious amounts of opportunism and populism. Their party campaign program is just that, a campaign program to sway voters in their favour. What the PVV has actually pushed in the past, and for the new coalition, is anything but socialist. Things like tax cuts for the extremely wealthy and corporations, further cuts to public services, scapegoating of immigrants (especially of Muslim and Arab immigrants). The PVV also openly spread insane fascist dog whistles such as the great replacement. Which shouldn't come as a shock, as the PVV base of support has always had sizeable fascist and neonazi elements.

Dutchman here, Rutte has become an almost larger than life figure in Dutch politics. He’s an extremely good debater, and his charisma made him get away with things he really shouldn’t get away with. Almost no one could beat him electorally, to the point that parties were formed just to pull his party to the left or right. It was often said that the only person who could end his rule was himself. I have no doubt that he will be a figure of authority within NATO, especially given that he tends to be a lot more brazen when he isn’t dealing with party politics.

How can you butcher such a simple quote. He jokingly quoted german chancellor Helmud Schmidt: "Wer eine Vision hat, der soll zum Arzt gehen" He actually said "Als 'visie' betekent tot in detail voorschrijven waar we over 25 jaar uit moeten komen, dan verzet als liberaal alles in mij zich daartegen. Een land, een samenleving past niet in een mal" during the De Schoo lezing. Which is a very reasonable take in our modern political and technological landscape.

There are more reasons. For one: Europe has been held hostage by the USA since WWII, spending most of its defence budget on USA weaponry. Not all, most. Word even goes, that NATO prevented the EU from properly expanding. Mais bon. Then there is NATO vs the USA vs the Pacific. The USA spends 3.35% of their GDP on defence. How much of that 3.35% is spent on NATO (North Atlantic TO), how much is spent on USA-only interests (the Americas) and how much is spent in the Pacific? Europe's main interests are Europe and Africa. We might have a lot of financial stakes around the world, but we have no defence spending there.

@@leanderbuijtendijk6241 i think that for this time Rutte is the right choice. but NATO should appoint (way) more people from Eastern Europe on roles that assist Rutte (so other top positions), and that would be a great way for them to gain experience in the top of an organisation like NATO. and when the current tensions with Russia, China and the US boil down that experience would make them a good choice for the next "election" for the top position. we need to choose the right person at the right time, and not just choose a person because it's a change from the previous choices. and like it or not, but right now Rutte might be the best choice.

Every sane and knowledgeable person knew if some lines are crossed this will happen. Stoltenberg even got it sent to him on black and white as he himself admitted.. Btw we ( yes even me ) considered this could happen if... 16 years ago not 10. Personally i thought that the west would wake up and stay behind the obvious last red line. Btw i think Poland is safe.... and i see a scenario that Poland actually becomes the most powerful military power in mainland Europe if sh... hits the proverbial fan lol International relations is a simple game and is at least 5000 years old. it was and is almost the same and little has changed. You want a simple example? one great power supports the reign of a king deposing the previous king which had alligned with the opposing great power. This great power attacks to put their king back on throne. The small kingdom gets devastated. The 2 great power fight eachother on the ground of this small kingdom. If one wind ... well case is closed. If not they negotiate about what to do and stop the bloodshed ( money, treasury lol ) and risk of rebellions at home because of too much troops being away or invasions. So they come to agreements. Either they partition this kingdom. Or they exchange..... you take cilicia back...we take Armenia and we both declare ouw victory to our people. We'll fight later on some other issue .... no hard feelings. They even might decide that one decides who will rule the kingdom, while the other should assign that person as a king. Again both powers claim a victory. You can find 100 of these between the Romans and persians in their long rivalry. In conclusion.... we knew what could happen..... and now we know how to settle it. One party does not want to settle it

Dutchman here: I have not been a fan of his political actions in most cases, and the way scandals seem to leave him unharmed. Or the fact that he has a tendency to lie about certain things. I would never ever vote for him and most people were tired of him. That being said, I would 100% vote for him being the leader of NATO. Like you said, you need a specific set of skills, and I dont know anyone who seems to have all of these like he does. Though I usually dont agree with him on domestic policies, everyone will tell you that he is a good man. A kind man, simple, decent, humble. He would never have a personal scandal, perhaps a political one, but thats it. He know how to talk to people, he knows how to play the game. Its weird. I wanted nothing more than for him to leave office, but now we have a waay shittier government on the right and its just a matter of waiting it out. Excited to be hearing about Rutte still.

"When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan" In 12 years Mark Rutte we have had systemic racism where parents got bankrupted by the tax system based on their last name alone. We have a housing crisis that impacts all layers of society. We have working poor for the first time where people who work need to go to food banks to eat. We have energy poverty because our government taxes are atleast double on what gas prices are. We have farmers commiting suicide because they see no future anymore and a work market in 2025 changed so abruptly that people in flex positions will no longer get hired. He made people groan and suffer. This man only serves himself and those close to him. We should all be very worried.

Whoever suggested that the next leader should be a woman needs to seriously sit down and think of the reasons why NATO was formed and why it's important that meritocracy is used, not diversity for the sake of it. I have nothing against a woman leading but I do if they were arbitrary chosen because of gender.

Agreed, but pointing out that it was a suggestion, not a rule. I got the impression women were mostly not even considered because they were women, so if it's true, it's good to break out of that. But it would be foolish to force a woman into the position if a more capable male diplomat was available. Like, I'll take Jens Stoltenberg over Georgia Meloni any day.

The defense spending plummeting under Rutte's watch is an aftereffect of budget cuts that were already instated in the 90s and continued by coalitions before Rutte. He had little influence in this. His party (VVD) has always been in favour of more budget for the dod, and no one in his position could have increased it. However much you might dislike him, you can't discredit him here, he tried his best.

Not at all! He was the one that wanted to cut the budget of the Dutch government with no less than 40 billion euros after the financial crisis of 2008. And he made it happen. He was prime minister in 2014, when the MH-17 disaster happened and NATO made it's commitment. He could have raised defence spending to 2% GDP gradually from then on and would have reached the target in 2017. But no. He never was interested in security in the first place. Only in the oil and gas industry.

Pfff, while Italy, Spain, Greece, UK, France and even Germany were barreling full force towards demographic and economic collapse, Rutte kept NL relatively strong. Did he had to make horrible decisions? Scandalously hard cuts and stops and did it hurt people? Oh yes. But believe me, Rutte will go down as an absolute genius when he becomes embedded into our national history.

Een goede politicus zet het belang van het volk (en nee niet alleen de blanke nederlander voor ik het racistisch nationalistische stempeltje krijg) voor het belang van de multinationalen en kleine rijke elite..

Regarding him allegedly collapsing his own government in the end... as someone who followed that quite thoroughly, he absolutely did. He just found himself an excuse to get real hung up over, way more than was reasonable for his or anyone's standards and collapsing the government was completely avoidable. In his long tenure as MP, this may be the single most outwardly bad thing he's done though. I have respect for a man who was able to keep a country together during so many tough times, crisises and covid.

Thank you for being thorough. I don't like Mark but he sure is a smooth operator. And pragmatist to a fault, he loved to quote an ex German chancellor who said 'If you have visions, you need to go see a doctor'. That is Rutte in a nutshell. But he gets the job done, no matter the trail of destruction he may or may not leave in his wake. And that isn't all that bad in uncertain times.
