Lieutenant General Martin Wijnen
Jon Jackson – NEWSWEEK Dec 28, 2023
The commander of the Dutch army on Thursday called on the Netherlands to become better prepared for a potential future war with Russia.
“The Netherlands should be seriously afraid of war, and our society should prepare for it…Russia is getting stronger, ” Lieutenant General Martin Wijnen, commander of the Royal Netherlands Army, said in an interview with the newspaper De Telegraaf.
The Netherlands, one of the founding members of NATO, has been a strong ally of Ukraine in the war started by Russian President Vladimir Putin in February 2022. Mark Rutte, the prime minister of the Netherlands, announced last week that his country will soon deliver 18 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine to aid in its defense against Putin’s forces.
“The Netherlands should not think our safety is guaranteed because we are 1,500 kilometers away [from Russians],” Wijnen said.
Newsweek reached out to the Netherlands’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs via an online contact form on Thursday for comment.
The Netherlands has not has compulsory conscription since 1997, but the country has started a voluntary one-year program for young people. Wijnen told De Telegraaf that he hopes the program attracts people to join the military while noting that the best way to keep Russia from invading the Netherlands is to maintain a big army.
“There is only one language that Russia understands, and that is one of a strong military,” Wijnen said. “The Netherlands must learn again that all members of society must be ready when things go wrong.”
Wijnen is not the only European official to call on his country to become better prepared for the potential of war in the aftermath of Putin’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
In a December 16 interview with Welt am Sonntag, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius spoke of the need for Germany to better equip its military by increasing its weapons protection. Pistorius said Germany needed to be able to sufficiently defend itself as well as provide arms to Ukraine since the U.S. could decrease its involvement in Kyiv’s war with Russia.
“We Europeans should be more involved in guaranteeing security on our continent. We have about 5-8 years to make up for what we have lost, from the point of view of the armed forces, industry and society,” Pistorius said.
Right. Let more Africans and Asians in so we can go kill our fellow caucasian Russians.
As much sense as any Dutch make anymore. Or Brits. Or Americans.
This is bonkers.
I still have no idea why they would fear a possible invasion by people like themselves but not fear the Third World invasion that is actually happening, or, at least, I do not know how they justify their fake reasons
“The Bug That Roared”
It ALWAYS makes me laugh when (((they))) drag out these ZATO faggot fcktards like this moronic Dutch “military” poseur…
whose postage-stamp sized country, under ANY war-scenario he’s jerking-off to, would be crushed like a bug by Russia…
assuming, of course, that Vlad could find the damn place on a map… and wouldn’t mind having to wipe its remains off the sole of his boot..😅
“I made all my generals out of mud”… Bonaparte..
Nowadays it’s used arse wipes….
Of course the maggot media keeps trotting these OTAN imbeciles out onto the stage…just to make sure the muggles haven’t forgotten to be afraid… very afraid…
Of something or other….in fact any old nonsense will do..as is illustrated here…
.. you can take that to the bank…primarily because it makes the regimes authoritarian horseshit more believable when a mouth breathing lunatic in khaki drab delivers it…
I peeked at the Dutch master plan for war with Russia
“Bend over, stick head between legs, kiss ass goodbye”
Yep, sounds like a plan..
Of course, for what they don’t tell you though is: NATO & Russia are governed by the same supranational syndicate of Semitic bankers/oligarchs/rabbis. Its conceivable after ZOG exterminates millions of whites in Ukraine that they will attempt to involve the remaining whites of the West to get slaughtered by Commie Russian/China–thus advancing their objective to genocide the white race sometime this century (Whiteocide). Now you know.
“The commander of the Dutch army on Thursday called on the Netherlands to become better prepared for a potential future war with Russia.”
Right! Sure. Like all the Zionist ass kissers of Western governments; leading their people like lambs to the slaughter.
“The Netherlands should be seriously afraid of war, and our society should prepare for it…Russia is getting stronger, ”
No! Correction. Yes, Russia is getting stronger, but Western governments are doing the bidding like lapdogs for their Jew Zionist masters. The people under the thumb of their Western leadership is on a suicide mission of stupidity.
“Mark Rutte, the prime minister of the Netherlands, announced last week that his country will soon deliver 18 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine to aid in its defense against Putin’s forces.”
And to be
shot down like so many balsam wood/paper planes.
I could go on correcting this Zionist propaganda rag called Newsweek, but I think we get the picture here
Correction: balsa wood.
This is a seriously silly article. Has it not occurred to Jon Jackson to wonder what Russia could possiby gain by attacking The Netherlands? This ‘prepare for war against Russia’ propaganda is every bit as silly as it was during the Cold War. But there were much better journalists back then, I’m assured.
This Zionist stooge speaks for his self and his masters. Informed Netherlands know Russia is a saviour of whole world from the evil of Zionists who are hell bent to depopulate and enslave humanity. C’mon Faroese in Netherland shut this weirdo puppet of Zionist up once-for all.
How eager will the “New Dutch” be to stop a Russian bullet as a gesture of thanks for all the welfare that the old Dutch have lavished on them?
They’ll take over the Netherlands first.
The Dutch as most Western European countries are populated by Idiots. the REAL enemy is inside the gates. They sit in Parliaments, in Castles and in Government buildings. They are planing the destruction of the countries from the INSIDE with foreign invaders and the destruction of farmers and children. Besides the Dutch army will last about 20 minutes against the Russians, but that should be time enough for the House of Orange Traitors to go to their private jet at Shithole airport and escape with the Gold. Just like they did at the start of WWII and spent the war in England with their inbred cousins at the House of Windsore. See Ya Suckers!

Most Russians are a slavo-mongol mix. A small number could be classified as ‘white or Aryan’. The Ukrainians (slavo-Germanics) actually possess higher percentages of Teutonic blood than your ‘Russian’ –thus the ethnic animosity the Russian mutt man has toward the Ukrainian & why they attacked Ukraine.

Ask the English who were afraid of fellow Germanics invading in WWII, but do nothing about the ongoing invasion of scum from Africa/Asia.
As with all these wars and talks of wars – there ain’t no sides – there ain’t no enemies of Israel, the enemy is you… “they got so much things to say right now…” Bob Marley
