The utterly simplistic language of it all. ๐๐๐
"in a big way", "it will be your win"
It's ridiculous
This make me feels somewhat awkward.
Too many MAGA assholes and bootlickers out there, good for Canada and Spain to show them the middle finger
Translation: "Thanks to your stupid politics, you managed to pull EU closer and finally decide on things for Greater good."
This can't be real
Real tweet, fake text... no way any NATO leader would say "Europe is going to pay BIG" it's just too Trump. Same with the incessant comma splices.
But big congrats to Trump for ruining the information space so completely that I genuinely cannot tell what's real anymore.
I'm sure EVERY European politician randomly CAPITALISES words like some LUNATIC
And signs their essay texts with their name. Very common as we all know.
It's entirely expected, not sure why you're in disbelief.
It reads like something Trump wrote about himself. He's done that kind of bullshit before.
The Rutte team has confirmed it was indeed a real text sent by Mark Rutte to Trump.
This is so poorly written I have no idea if it's sarcasm or not.
Eh, looks like rutte writes English in the same way that he speaks it. Honestly I first thought that it was a shitpost, but no, it seems legit.
Rutte's unique approach to English merely reflects the fact that his intellectual ceiling would challenge even the most ambitious root vegetable.
World leaders have figured out he's functionally a toddler. Starmer and Trudeau took the same approach.
Anyone else remember when libs were fearmongering that Trump will leave NATO and leftists said "don't threaten me with a good time"?
By the way Rutte changed the wording in the agreement to be more vague as to what 'allies' means because Spain refused to agree to 5%.
Communication is most effective in the language of receiver. Rutte emulates Trump like ChatGPT.
obviously, I doubt Rutte was expecting this message to be shared. If he wasn't a complete moron and actually doing this just to stroke his own ego, I'd actually give Donald props for leaking it, as Rutte kissing Donald's ass makes him look terrible, and more broadly makes the European parts of NATO look terrible.
I imagine Rutte's intent is to stroke Trump's ego to try and keep him interested in NATO, but I feel like that's a fool's errand. Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone else but himself. This new agreement, with NATO signatories needing to commit 5% of their GDP, feels like a grift for the benefit of U.S. defense contractors. The U.S. cannot be trusted to actually honor their agreements anymore, so why pay more into their alliance? Is Europe really that scared of further Russian aggression?
Europeans online think that Rutte is 'masterfully manipulating' Trump by talking to him like a 5 year old and are extremely proud of this.
Me: Trump needs to be taken to the Hague
Me: nooo not like that
Purely defensive pact btw
All in the interests of Europe btw
You are flying into another big success in the Hague
I wish
Well i just found out some of these NATO leaders were Nazis so NATO might just be a white supremacist group technically.
NATO is just a millitary alliance for the purpose of maintaining Western Imperialism, which is headed by the US Empire.
