Meanwhile, Dutch police unions have said they have serious doubts about sending unarmed officers to Ukraine and say there are major risks attached to their mission. Police officers should be used as part of a UN mission, they said. ‘But sending 40 unarmed officers is not what we were thinking of,’ a spokesman from one union told Nos news.

I see large ransoms in the Dutch government's future.

Uhoh! The Russians are in for it now!

Hard to believe European culture once dominated the Earth...

Walking your armed forces (even when unarmed) uninvited into a communist country is pure foolishness of the Dutch.

Where the hell do they think they are?

This is not the US with its open border policy.

With the exception of the War of the Fourth Coalition (1806-1807), in which it participated as a French satellite, I don’t believe Holland has ever been at war with Russia.

And this is how it starts. It's not going to be PeeWee Cobb, but some cocky Dutch or Aussie firing off a round.

I bet Moscow is scared.

Wonder if they are bringing their hairnets with them. It can get windy in the Steppes.

Better they stay home and fight the Muslims there.

Fine, let the Dutch fight the Russians. Not our problem.

In addition, Dutch special forces currently in Mali are being recalled and sent on to the area around Donetsk ....

I guess negotiations with Borodai for the return of the bodies of the MH17 victims that the Russians are holding for ransom didn't go very well.

My guess is the state department is in a dither.
The Netherlands IS a NATO member.
If this goes south, where does NATO stand?
