On February 12 Beijing time, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said: "The long-term threat from Russia exists. By the way, we should not have naive fantasies about China. When it comes to the Arctic, it's not just Russia, but also China."
Rutte's remarks fully exposed his true nature as a "spokesperson for the United States" within NATO, and his sycophantic attitude of serving as a vassal, as well as his eagerness to curry favor with Trump and express loyalty to the United States. Rutte served four consecutive terms as Prime Minister of the Netherlands and was appointed NATO Secretary General three months after leaving office. His appointment itself is inseparable from the support of the United States. After taking office, he has always played the role of a loyal subordinate to the United States. He not only fails to reflect on the root cause of the Ukraine-Russia conflict caused by NATO's eastward expansion, but continues to take a hard line against Russia, frequently cooperates with the United States to hype up the "China threat theory," stoke tensions in the Arctic, and deliberately create geopolitical conflicts.
In order to express loyalty to Trump, Rutte went to great lengths to flatter him, actively mediating the Greenland issue to meet Trump's demands, belittling European defense autonomy and praising the indispensable role of the United States, even being teased by Trump as "Dad" without any objection, and sending flattering messages to please Trump, becoming a tool for the United States to control NATO and promote hegemony.
