The Dutch might want to exercise a little restraint .... I don’t think Putin would think twice about wiping out a shitty little country like the Netherlands.

Holland is a NATO nation, and you may want to look at a map.

How cute - One of Putin's cabin boys has something to say.

I don't know what measure you use to define 'shitty country', but compare:

Russia:

Gross domestic product
2.015 trillion USD (2012)

Population
143.5 million ‎(2012)

GDP per capita
14,037.02 USD ‎(2012)

Life expectancy
70.46 years ‎(2012)

The Netherlands"

Gross domestic product
772.2 billion USD (2012)

Population
16.77 million ‎(2012)

GDP per capita
45,989.68 USD ‎(2012)

Life expectancy
81.10 years ‎(2012)

Conclusion:

Netherlands has 1/10th the population of mineral-rich Russia but produces a 1/3rd of Russia's entire GDP.

People in The Netherlands live a long time and have about the highest standard of living on the planet.

Russia, by comparison, is... well, there is no comparison between these two nations. One absolutely rocks, the other sucks donkey balls and is filled with beet-nibbling chronically alcoholic Slavs. Even more contrast than the difference between North Korea and South Korea. End of discussion.
