NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has described Iran as one of the key factors enabling Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, saying that increased pressure from Israel and the US will reduce Tehran’s capacity to contribute to the war.
Source: Rutte in an interview with Newsmax
Quote: “Iran was one of the key enablers of the Russia war effort against Ukraine, through these weapons of destruction – these Shahed drones.
And the fact now that Iran is facing this full onslaught of Israel and the US will also degrade their capacity to export their chaos even to Russia and, therefore, to Ukraine.”
Details: Rutte noted that the Ukrainians’ experience with drones is now available to partners in NATO countries and in the Middle East.
Quote: “We are learning collectively from what is happening in Ukraine.
We have seen over the last four years how Ukraine has gained this knowledge of drone technology and anti-drone technology, now basically making this available to our friends and partners in the Middle East. I think that’s positive.”
Background:
- Rutte said on 24 February he believes that genuine peace in Europe is only possible if there is genuine peace in Ukraine.
- Rutte also confirmed that the West is considering three layers of security guarantees for Ukraine.
- Rutte pledged during a visit to Ukraine that he would find more than US$15 billion to purchase weapons for Ukraine’s Armed Forces.

I wish for the evil, devil-worshipping mullah regime to be completely destroyed, not just merely reduce its capacity to help the other evil regime in mafia land. That’s simply not enough.
The only useful purpose for this attack on Iran is regime change.
But what will the successor be?
And at what cost?
It already looks like Ukraine will get even less ammo and essential materiel than before.
Unless the izlamonazi replacement is an anti-putlerstan liberal democracy, there’s nothing in it for Ukraine or anywhere else.
I’m still not clear what’s happening in Venezuela? They seem to have replaced one pro-putler asshole with another?
The Green Party is now behind only the Faragista Reform Party in the U.K.
FFS !
I got a comment zapped by the mods. It was :
“The “Green” Party : a putrid coalition of liars, propagandists, izlamonaZis, Marxist revolutionaries, lunatics and degenerates.”
Rutte is a crapulous Nato leader, just like the last two or three. Or four.
