  1. Good to have more people for the job.

    Problem is if i read the article.. It doesnt really say why he is good, only why Rutte is bad.

  2. This jerk that let corruption flourish under his command even dares dream of such position?!
    He fucked up democracy and education in this country so bad, that now he considers a NATO leadership position as a pat on the back for the great work he’s done?!
    There’s a Romanian saying: Dreams are for free.
    He’s not even worth being a president, let alone lead NATO…

  3. Rutte is a bad choice and we should veto him. Not just because of the Schengen vetos, but he is called Teflon Mark for a reason, that reason being corruption.

    Our house plant is also a waste of space in the NATO HQ, he belongs in the trash bin of history. One of the worst Presidents we ever had. Corrupt, morally bankrupt, incompetent, lazy, etc.

  4. Somehow Rutte is not that much of a terrible choice after all.

    And yet…

  5. He is a divisive figure and an opportunist. I really hope that does not win.

  6. Even a stray dog would be a better choice than Klaus iohannis.

  7. Rutte can get bent, but if this guy gets the job the Russians are gonna be in Portugal by day two of the invasion. And he’ll probably be on vacation in Zanzibar or something.

  8. If he’ll do such a top notch job as in Romania, NATO is f***ed

  9. yeah…. This fucker is bad news, he only has an ego not much else

  10. he is the type of guy, who in the event of bombs flying over Europe, would say “privim cu atentie si ingrijorare” – but veeeeery slow

  11. For all you non-Romanians, we call this guy “the ficus” here because he’s been MAJORLY absent from public view (by choice) for the last 3+ years, with a bunch of anti-democratic shenanigans going on, all tacitly approved by him through public silence.

    I don’t know much about Rutte, but Iohannis really is NOT the type of person you want leading what’s supposed to be the most important deterrent to russia & china.

  12. No thanks. I despise Rutte because he’s a spinless, corrupt slimy dipshit but even he seems like a better choice.

  13. Maybe the point of this is to make Rutte look like a viable option, lol. Anyways, NATO, EU, anyone, please take this statue away from us, thank you, and we accept no refunds if you do.

  14. I’m a Romanian, I voted for Klaus Iohannis twice and I think Rutte should get the job.

    All Klaus would do is take vacation trips on private jets.

  15. This “gentleman” abused his presidential prerogatives into useless world trips that yielded zero benefits for his country and (wait, this gets better) when asked to disclose the total cost of those trips he quickly moved into CLASSIFYING SUCH INFORMATION. To this day nobody is allowed to know how much his useless trips cost.

    A disgrace to the role of any president. He’s good at putting up a good image and Germany likes him because he is a German ethnic, but otherwise he is as shallow as a puddle of mud.

    Definitely not suitable for NATO Chief role.

  16. MAKE NO MISTAKE, Klaus Johannis will ruin NATO the minute he takes command!

  17. Everything politico.eu says should be taken with a grain of salt since it’s a populist mouthpiece that constantly highlights everything bad about the EU. Most revealing are their opinion pieces.

  18. This fucking clown cant even do proper photosynthesis

  19. Rutte already has support from 20 NATO countries including the US and the UK, done deal I’d say.
