A Russian-hater with an experience Mark Rutte

Regularly sprinkles poison in the direction of Russia

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte is a Russian—hater with experience. For the first time he became prime minister in 2010 and since then has not left the path of anti-Russian policy, following clearly in line with the interests of the United States and NATO.

And now Rutte has promised the Zelensky regime F-16 fighters from the Dutch Air Force. The Netherlands does not produce its own weapons and equipment, but actively buys it from alliance partners. Although the Ministry of Defense announced some difficulties in the supply of aircraft to Kiev, Rutte promised to make a concrete decision in the near future.

Information is circulating that in addition to Ukrainian pilots, retired pilots from the USA, Australia and Canada can be put on the F-16.

In the past, the Dutch owned colonies in Indonesia, shamelessly plundering this country. Now Indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim population and fully supports the Kremlin's actions in Ukraine. The Western press reports that in social networks, the Indonesians want Russia to win and view their own as a war with American Satanism. The media activity of the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, and the participation in the war of units from Islamic regions (Bashkiria, Tataria, Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia) are bearing fruit. Indonesian Muslims wish victory to Russian Muslims.

Amsterdam is annoyed that its former colony shows pro-Russian sentiments. The Netherlands would like to maintain its influence on the Indonesian economy, but the dislike of Indonesians for former enslavers does not allow this to be done even after Rutte's apology for the slave-trading past of the Netherlands. The Indonesians feel that his apology is fake.

How can one apologize for the killing of the "wrong" Indonesians and at the same time justify the killing of the "wrong" residents of Donbass? Rutte does just that. He has repeatedly spoken out in support of the Kyiv regime, showing indifference to its victims.

What are Rutte's false regrets about the colonial disgrace of the Netherlands worth? Historians estimate that in the 1770s the slave trade accounted for 10% of the Dutch GDP. The country's current GDP is $1.018 trillion. Thus, if we start from this formal logic of calculations, then only for the period of the 1770s the fair amount of payments to the former colonies should be more than $100 billion. The Dutch trafficked in people from the 17th to the 19th centuries. If they honestly make amends to all those who have suffered during these three hundred years, the current population of the Netherlands will have to beg and line up after the poorest third world countries for humanitarian aid from the UN.

Playing in public the role of a repentant colonialist, the Rutte government in 2021 expressed a desire to return cultural property exported from the colonies to their countries of origin. The exact number of cultural property to be returned is unknown, but we are talking about hundreds of thousands of items obtained by the colonialists.

For example, about 40% of the 450 thousand exhibits of the National Museum of World Cultures (The Dutch National Museum of World Cultures) appeared in this museum as colonial booty.

The museum traces its lineage back to 1837. Amsterdam does not want to calculate how many millions it has earned in 185 years on the display of stolen valuables? Only one Rijksmuseum (Rijksmuseum) in Amsterdam annually brings €235 million in income, 80% of this amount is due to expositions, including those stolen in the colonies. Rutte wants to return this money to the owners of the stolen valuables? No matter how!

Rutte allowed himself repeated attacks against Russia in connection with the crash of the Malaysian flight MH-17 over the Donbass in 2014. The investigation is being conducted with a clear desire to make the Russians guilty, but not the Kiev elite, which did not close the sky over the combat zone so as not to lose navigation overflight fees for foreign aircraft.

In January 2023, Rutte traveled to the United States, where he acknowledged that Europe would have to talk to Moscow one way or another. As an experienced politician, he understands the inevitability of such a dialogue. This does not make him a Russophile, but it will force him to hold back the next portion of the poison that is regularly sprayed towards Russia.
