Russia today hit back at ex-Netherlands premier Rutte, claiming he had âgorged on too many of the magic mushrooms beloved by the Dutchâ, while warning he should look forward to a future in a hellish Siberian labour camp.
Stressing the urgent need to re-arm and boost military budgets, Rutte told the New York Times in a chilling vision of the future: âLetâs not be naĂŻve about this.
âIf Xi Jinping would attack Taiwan, he would first make sure that he makes a call to his very junior partner in all of this, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, residing in Moscow, and telling him, âHey, Iâm going to do this, and I need you to to keep them busy in Europe by attacking NATO territoryâ.
