    I think Rutte is trying to save NATO, and keep NATO relevant and prevent Trump from doing something even more insane than he is already doing by pleasing him.

      No he was always in Trump’s ass. When he was PM of the Netherlands with the whole ASML saga. Blocking a private, commercial company to do business with China because America (Trump) said so, is so fucking weak and spineless. They must have spend some time together on an undisclosed island.

      At least China doesn’t take any shit so now both Xiaomi and Huawei are developing and manufacturing their own 3nm chips for as well as local manufacturers for high quality GPU’s. It will take a few years but they will catch up.

      In the meantime, Rutte is war mongering about China invading Taiwan a little as 6 days ago, which is not going to happen. It’s all western propaganda. If he took a 5 minutes breath out of America’s anus and study the history of China and Taiwan, he could see it’s been going on since the 1800s. Not to mention the current political situation in China itself where there is no support for any military action within the factions.

      Instead he’s beating the same dead horse, straight out of the GOP playbook. He’s a cunt.

        OK I didn’t know that, I just find it weird that Netherlands willingly risk killing one of their leading industries. And 100% for sure cause them to lose revenue immediately, as China was their biggest market, and most likely face steep+ competition in the future because China is forced to make their own.

        I admit he has made statements I found weird, and I think I recognize the picture you are painting. Even the previous general secretary Anders Fogh Rasmussen who also had his head up the GOP ass, is now admitting that we can’t rely on USA like we used to. But I’m still not sure Rutte is partially playing a game to please and distract Trump, but maybe he actually is as stupid as you write?

            you should read about Nexperia.

            I did, and that is absolutely insane. Any company from a country other than China would never have been treated like that.
            We accuse China of practices that favor China, and do exactly what we accuse them of. 🤡
            China is clearly discriminated in the west, and a lot is done to prevent them from progressing. But it only causes the opposite.

            Soon China can do the same against EU and USA, and they are morally justified by the way we have behaved.
