Farmers’ Protest Heats Up: Dutch Cops Shoot At Protesters, Farmers Bring In … A TANK

However big or powerful your government might be, there is always a point beyond which the citizen cannot be pushed. The Dutch have discovered theirs.

Elections have consequences. So do bad policies.

Farmers are revolting in response to aggressive new environmental policies that will hurt an industry that’s already suffering from skyrocketing input costs.

"The protest in Stroe, 70 kilometres east of Amsterdam, follows the introduction last week of targets for reducing pollution by harmful nitrogen compounds in some areas by up to 70% by 2030 – the latest attempt to solve a problem that has plagued the country for years.

…Farmers argue the targets are poorly conceived and unfair. They are expected to lead to a 30% reduction in the number of Dutch livestock, with effects more concentrated in agricultural areas bordering nature preserves. — Reuters"

Manure and fertilizers are specifically targeted in these regulations and tensions have been growing as a result. Farmers have taken the base concept of Canada’s Truckers’ protests to whole new levels. Distribution centers that have been specifically targeted in their blockades.

Footage has emerged that appears to show police firing on the protesters.

Let's see what happens when the farmers start blocking Nederlandse Spoorwagen and Arriva Netherlands passenger rail lines. Given the strong preference for rail travel by the Dutch, blocking NS and Arriva lines will immediately get the notice of the Dutch government.

In the end, just like Ukraine the citizens will be screwed!

Besides the military, nobody in the Netherlands can shoot or own an automatic weapon. The only exceptions for gun ownership include the police (for self-defense), hunters, and target shooters, although many restrictions exist. > Dutch gun laws are strict.

A "tank"? The farmers have lots of these tanks...

I understand they were using one to spread manure at the capitol.

Why doesn't the Dutch government merely dynamite the dykes, flood the farms, and save the world from environmental doom???

Maybe they could get Disney to transmogrify the Little Dutch Boy with His Finger in the Dyke into a drag queen or a trannie--maybe igniting the dynamite himself!

What I really want to see is some Dutch farmers waving a Trump flag.

Not to show they care about Trump, but rather that it will REALLY set the Brussels EUroweenies on fire. They will go absolutely nuts.

“In the end, just like Ukraine the citizens will be screwed!”

The only way the farmers can win is to overthrow their evil government. It is much harder, but not impossible, without guns.

Dutch farmers don’t have to shoot anybody. They have it within their power to starve the tyrants to death.

"government cannot make farmers produce..."
It looks like the leaders of Canada and the Netherlands (Trudeau and Rutte are both Klau's disciples) are trying to prevent farmers from producing to create starvation; population reduction and economic chaos are aims of the "Great Reset."
