Rutte: not a \u2018Trump whisperer\u2019, but simply dealing with reality \u2013 Screengrab Social Media\/Telegram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rutte hits Brussels with the truth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Against the backdrop of a multitude of Globalist leaders doing their \u2018best\u2019 to oppose US President Donald J. Trump in his every geopolitical move, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is a clear exception.<\/p>\n

Even before he became the head of the military alliance, Rutte was already warning Europeans to \u2018stop moaning and whining and nagging about Trump\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Secretary General Mark Rutte repeatedly and publicly praised President Donald Trump for his impact on European and NATO defense commitments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not popular with you now because I\u2019m defending Donald Trump, but I really believe you can be happy that he is there because he has\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/Bl6SZiZrMg<\/a><\/p>\n

Now they call him \u2018Trump whisperer\u2019, which he is not, but he has at least shown deference not only for the US, but to reality.<\/p>\n

\n

NOW \u2013 NATO Chief Rutte defends Trump: \u201cI will defend him now and then this afternoon\u2026 he was the one, during Trump 45, who already said there is an issue with Arctic security\u2026 and I think he\u2019s right.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/Qr2lWyQexd<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) January 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In front of the \u00fcber Euro-Globalists in Brussels, Rutte told the unvarnished truth: they should \u2018keep on dreaming\u2019 that they can defend themselves without the support of the United States.<\/p>\n

CNN<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019If anyone thinks here again that the European Union, or Europe as a whole, can defend itself without the US, keep on dreaming. You can\u2019t. We can\u2019t. We need each other\u2019, Rutte said during an address to the European Parliament in Brussels on Monday.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014 Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) January 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019In that scenario, you will lose the ultimate guarantor of our freedom, which is the US nuclear umbrella. So hey, good luck\u2019, he said.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The NATO chief also praised Trump for pioneering Arctic security.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019I think he\u2019s 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\u2019, he said.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
