Mark Rutte urged the three BRICS countries to “make the phone call” to Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop the war in Ukraine — or face secondary sanctions from the US.

    Why does the NATO chief feel he’s free to talk about trade relations?

        NATO is a military organisation. Trade is civilian.

        You don’t see the US joint chiefs weighing in on the tariff discussion, nor the head of the UK armed forces weighing in on Brexit.

      Because those that believe that it’s merely a defensive military alliance are naive idiots.

    I get that these are poor countries but leeching from ruzi invasion blatantly like this is just disappointing. As history is permanent now on the internet it’s inevitable that they’ll run into problems and people will have all the reasons to br awful.

        Russia is the agressor , it doesn’t change the fact that NATO are bootlicking trump and the usa. Israel is comitting a more extreme genocide but still have deep economical ties with israel and buy gaza tested weapons

          Russia explicitly said they started the war to prevent sovreign nations choosing to join NATO. It’s literally in opposition to NATO.

          Totally different situation to Israel, and not really anything to do with the USAs position on either.

          Terrible take.

            Israel is literally implementing a final solution right know. You don’t see the problem with having deep economical ties with israel and buying tech that was used to kill women, kids and infants then complains about other countries having economical relation with russia . Nato should be the model and stop being complicit with israel

              Sure, NATO shouldn’t though as it’s a defensive alliance and palastine isn’t a member.

              Same as NATO shouldn’t be intervening in Congo.

              This is not complicated.

                Ukraine is not a member yet either. With your logic they shoudln’t support ukraine.

                All the nato countries signed the geneva conventions and genocide convension so they have the obligation to impose russian level of sanctions on israel. Any decent human being should support pressuring both genocidal parties and not having double standards
