Dutch PM Mark Rutte is likely to become the next NATO Secretary-General. Estonia's PM Kaja Kallas withdraws her candidacy, making Rutte's election almost certain. Rutte values friendly ties with China and opposes actions undermining China's interests.
It doesn’t matter who is the next Secretary General of NATO they are over estimated spokesman or a woman . They don’t make any decisions, just read the script . So either Rutte or Kallas won’t make any difference , absolutely irrelevant. https://t.co/XB7awEWTE0
She would’ve started WW3 by ordering NATO to go directly to war with Russia. Glad she’s out. Rutte isn’t great by any stretch of the imagination—he’s mediocre, but he isn’t a warmonger. Other options would’ve been Freeland and Johnson both of whom want war with Russia. https://t.co/68L03HcNJn
BREAKING: Estonian PM @kajakallas is withdrawing her candidacy for becoming the next NATO Secretary General. It’s now almost certain that Dutch PM Mark Rutte will be elected instead. Kallas was viewed as “too Eastern” & “too hawkish on Russia” Rutte is “more predictable” https://t.co/9eVyZsnNkw

Netherlands values friendly ties with China. Rutte understands the realities on the ground: Decoupling is not a policy choice for the Dutch government, since any act undermining China's development interests will only boomerang.
