NATO shouldn't appoint Rutte, full stop.
Rutte honestly needs to fuck off away from politics for good. The trouble we are having here in the Netherlands is largely the fault of his (and his cabinets) policy waffling on important issues like housing and healthcare.
Our refugee "problem" that gave rise to Geert Wilders and his disgusting rhetoric is the result of 13 years of conservative foot dragging on building housing and getting away with it. His party and cabinet were also dragging their feet on reaching climate goals, and implemented a disastrous half-measures covid policy in which the RIVM happily parroted the advice of the American CDC instead of coordinating their own research.
His cabinet also had scandal after scandal that "broke" coalitions, with the last one being because he walked away from the table, showing a total lack of respect towards our other politicians. He's not fit to hold office in any shape or form and is an utter failure in all aspects. His parents should be ashamed.
As a fellow Dutchman, I second this.
