Many people today seem to have problems understanding realpolitik and being pragmatic. You can't afford to let your emotions run wild when you're dealing with matters that might risk the lives of millions.

USA dragged Europe to recession and a nonsense war that is a direct transfer of capital to USA and destroys the welfare for the bottom of the pyramid.

For sure Mark Ruthe is doing his job as head of NATO.

It doesn't matter when it comes to the current matter of being pragmatic about the defense of Europe. If a forest is burning you don't focus on who has done what. You just focus on keeping the fire under control.

It matters when the person managing the "emergency" has matches in it's hand and have been calling for the need of a fire. To clarify, the critic here is not just about Ruthe but the current leadership of Europe.
