The outgoing commander of the Dutch military, for one, determined to ‘exit with a bang’, as he referred to as on the Netherlands to grow to be higher ready for a possible future warfare with Russia.
Newsweek reported:
“‘The Netherlands ought to be critically afraid of warfare, and our society ought to put together for it… Russia is getting stronger’ Lieutenant Normal Martin Wijnen, commander of the Royal Netherlands Military, mentioned in an interview with the newspaper De Telegraaf.
The Netherlands, one of many founding members of NATO, has been a robust ally of Ukraine within the warfare began by Russian President Vladimir Putin in February 2022.

Wijnen is stepping down from his function as the highest basic for the Dutch military at the moment (January 1). He referred to as for the Netherlands to comply with the instance of preparation from Sweden, Finland and the Baltic states.
“‘The Netherlands shouldn’t assume our security is assured as a result of we’re 1,500 kilometers away [from Russians]’, Wijnen mentioned.”
[…] ‘There is just one language that Russia understands, and that’s one in all a robust army’, Wijnen mentioned. ‘The Netherlands should be taught once more that every one members of society have to be prepared when issues go unsuitable’.”
It’s unclear how this plea by the outgoing army chief will play, for the reason that Globalist Mark Rutte coalition was destroyed within the polls by the best wing, led by Geert Wilders, one of many males that the left likes to hate, virtually as a lot as Putin.
Wijnen joins the ever-growing refrain of involved voices calling for preparedness and mobilization to deal with the long run Russian risk.
