The slap you just received, a Danish journalist confronts Rutte: Why didn't you rebut Trump's remarks about conquering Greenland, yet endlessly harp on opposing Russia's invasion?
At the NATO summit in Ankara on July 8th, while NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte was extensively discussing Russia's invasion of Ukraine and emphasizing that NATO absolutely would not tolerate any aggression anywhere in the world during a press conference, a Danish journalist stood up and sternly questioned Rutte: "Respected NATO Secretary General, you say Russia's invasion of Ukraine is intolerable. But I also saw you sitting beside Trump, who openly talked about how to invade and conquer Greenland, and even discussed how to attack allies like Spain. Yet you remained completely silent while sitting next to Trump."
The Danish journalist continued: "Isn't America's desire to seize Greenland an act of invasion? Isn't America's targeting of allies like Spain an act of hegemony? It seems you only see Zelenskyy and Ukraine. I don’t know what benefits Ukraine has given you to make you so hypocritical. I’m simply curious—don’t you feel embarrassed and lacking dignity?" Facing this sharp questioning, the NATO Secretary General was speechless, evading the issue by shifting topics—mentioning Ukraine one moment, Russia the next, then American defense spending, then claiming these two issues were different. In short, he refused to give a direct answer. Eventually, Rutte directly signaled security personnel to revoke the Danish journalist’s right to ask questions.
Thus, EU officials are essentially nothing more than American thugs disguised as European gentlemen. They care only about American interests; European interests are worth nothing to them—mere dung. After all, the only thing distinguishing them from Americans is the passport they carry. Otherwise, why does Rutte refer to Trump as 'Dad'?
