NATO allies have chosen Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte as the new Secretary-General amid ongoing tensions in Ukraine. Rutte’s leadership will be crucial in maintaining support for Ukraine’s resistance against Russia, while avoiding direct NATO involvement in the conflict. Additionally, he faces the challenge of a potential return of Donald Trump to the White House, which could shift the US’s stance on NATO. On Vantage, we decode the implications of Rutte’s appointment and what it means for the future of the transatlantic alliance.

  5. Mark Rutte will invite Putin to take over all of Europe. He is a traitor! He let his own country completely take over by Islamic Fundamentalists.

  7. It is very much impossible for NATO to win the war in between Russia and Ukraine . New Secretary General of NATO may consider as how the war can took place to an end with dignities of both sides . Apparently Putin has seems to have been decided to teach a serious lesson to American President . Actually in the beginning all NATO member countries were not satisfied with American proposal that NATO FORCES may be allowed for fully involved in the scenario . Because of Joe Biden Pressure and permanent speeches from previous Secretary General, NATO Alliance get fully engaged with Ukraine, and a time came when it was noticed that it is a war in between Russian troops and NATO FORCES. Billions of Dollars of support as gift to Ukraine and thoroughly engaged in supplying each and every thing relating to arms and ammunitions. So much so Russian Gas Supplying to Germany plant was also made target , reportedly involvement of American Forces . Tucker interview with Putin is evident in this behalf . If the war came an end without winner and looser then it will be a good achievement . Good luck to new Secretary General NATO .
