‘KEEP ON DREAMING’: NATO Secretary General Rutte Defends Trump Before EU Parliament, Says Europe Delusional To Believe It Can Defend Itself Without the US (VIDEOS)

Rutte hits Brussels with the truth.

Against the backdrop of a multitude of Globalist leaders doing their ‘best’ to oppose US President Donald J. Trump in his every geopolitical move, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is a clear exception.

Even before he became the head of the military alliance, Rutte was already warning Europeans to ‘stop moaning and whining and nagging about Trump’.

Secretary General Mark Rutte repeatedly and publicly praised President Donald Trump for his impact on European and NATO defense commitments.

Now they call him ‘Trump whisperer’, which he is not, but he has at least shown deference not only for the US, but to reality.

In front of the über Euro-Globalists in Brussels, Rutte told the unvarnished truth: they should ‘keep on dreaming’ that they can defend themselves without the support of the United States.

CNN reported:

“’If anyone thinks here again that the European Union, or Europe as a whole, can defend itself without the US, keep on dreaming. You can’t. We can’t. We need each other’, Rutte said during an address to the European Parliament in Brussels on Monday.”

If Europe wanted to defend itself alone, it would have to hike defense spending to at least 10% of GDPs, and build its own nuclear capabilities.

“’In that scenario, you will lose the ultimate guarantor of our freedom, which is the US nuclear umbrella. So hey, good luck’, he said.”

The NATO chief also praised Trump for pioneering Arctic security.

“’I think he’s right. There is an issue with the Arctic region. There is an issue of collective security, because these sea lanes are opening up, and because the Chinese and the Russians are more and more active’, he said.”
