The Dutch are America’s continental lapdog
"Mr Balkenende decided to join the "coalition of the willing" assembled by US President George W Bush because, he said, Saddam Hussein had consistently flouted UN resolutions and possessed weapons of mass destruction.
The Dutch parliament opposed the decision to back the invasion.
Committee chairman, Willibrord Davids, said the Netherlands' loyalty to its alliance with the US and UK had taken precedence over the need to ensure the legality of the invasion" (BBC, 12 January 2010).
It would really be fun to see them in The Hague, the capital of Europe’s most fanatical Atlanticist country – which appears ready and willing itself to forsake international laws, national laws, human rights, as well as common sense in the name of “American interests.” We saw this with Slovenia and its actions in American instigation of “Kosovo independence” when the Americans dictated to the Slovenians how they would run their Council Presidency in the first half of 2008.
This author is now engaging in the beginning phases of research that will lead to a report that will profile the national identity of the Netherlands. There is one thing for certain from the early research: The Dutch are America’s continental lapdog. The Dutch could now be getting themselves mixed up in the Russia-Georgia quagmire, where they appear to be poised to take sides with Georgia.
The Netherlands’ embassy in Tbilisi talks about reforms of Georgia that it is involved in “ongoing economic and political reforms of Georgia and Armenia in their transition to a market economy and pluriform democracy.” The aim of Dutch activity in Georgia appears to be business in nature. We see a report of the Dutch, along side of their American bosses, attempting to bring the Netherlands and Georgia even more diplomatically close in the form of enegry deals, but this could mean re-arming Georgia so it can become a menace again in the region.
According to the EU sponsored report, no nation that is friendly to either side should be a part of the EU mission in Georgia:
“It has also become apparent that the effectiveness of monitoring, peacekeeping and other stabilizing institutions and arrangements depends to a large extent on the trust and confidence in which they are being held by the parties to the conflict. This is in most cases directly related to the impartiality which the parties attribute to them, and this in turn is immediately linked to their country of origin or to the country thought to be in control. This is the case whether there is in reality bias or not.
No party to the conflict or party which is considered to be strongly supportive of any of the sides should assume a position of command, or chair, or arbiter nor exercise any other control of an operation which rests on the notion of impartiality and even-handedness in order to be effective.”If it turns out to be the case that the Netherlands is favorable to the Georgian side, no Dutchman can have any leadership control over the EU mission in Georgia. In fact, all Dutchmen should be removed from the EU mission – along with the nationals of other nations that show favor to either side, especially the aggressive Georgian side.
It should not surprise us that the Dutch favored a Peter Semneby, a frequent participant in Atlanticist meetings, has implied that South Ossetia and Abkhazia were "occupied territories." Semneby's connections to Eastern Euroepan nations and forums that supported Georgia and continue to support Mikheil Saakashvili, the war-mongering lunatic president of Georgia, should exclude him from being an EU "Special Representative for the South Caucasus" in the first place. The presence of this possible Atlanticist spoils the impartiality of the European Union in its role as an honest broker. We should question Semneby's loyalties and can suspect that he can actually be acting on behalf of Washington not the peaceful interests of Brussels.
The Dutch are helping, yes helping, America in its “War on Drugs,” which is coming to be despised by most Americans The so-called “war on drugs” has taken a horrible toll on American society with massive incarceration and human costs, such as conflict between gangs on America’s southern border.
The Dutch are allowing the Americans to use airstrips in Curacao and Aruba for “drug interdiction” activities,” even as many anti-drug war advocates celebrate the Netherlands’ policies of marijuana liberalization and drug addiction as a medical problem.This participation by the Netherlands in America’s “drug war” demonstrates that in order to "be pleasing to the Americans” rational leaders of especially European nations will defy their own best interests, international law, norms of civilized conduct, provoke wars and conflicts in their blind obedience to America It is a sick pecking order in Europe, one in which leaders are willing to lie, cheat and kill for their "American friends" and forsake European values and international standards of conduct.
