Seems like a career politician with no military background. We need someone like General Wesley Clark to stop those Russians.
If you can’t rock the gear, don’t rock the gear unless you want to look like a doofus, which any unfit bureaucrat is going to look like trying to look military. Hell once you get to a certain age in the military you begin to look lie a doofus as well, cf Mark Milley.
Sure. Give him another bite at the apple like he tried in the 1990s re: Pristina airport.

Oh look. Mike Dukakis, just without the personality, or the tank.
Just wow
EU constantly trying to find another Neville Chamberlain.
Great. Another punk who is a politician that has let his own country be invaded by violent Muslims and Africans.
Rutte is a presumed gay, BTW
Interesting look, NATO
Some may recall when El Trumpo pushed the Euroweenies to start paying up. Then the Germans said the EU needed their own military....only to discover they could must enough men...out of a population over 500 million.
Then they proposed allowing non EU residents to join....but the soon dropped that idea lol.
Figures.
What a laugh. Pathetic but funny. A loser gets “promoted” to lead a bunch of losers.
This is the WEF globalist that was driven out of office for leading a war on farming in the Netherlands.
I’m sure his appointment is in no way a means to thwart the foreign policies of the guy replacing him as Prime Minister. /s
