The Netherlands’ parliament on Tuesday narrowly voted against a multibillion-euro European Union defense plan presented by Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof last week.

The motion was introduced by the right-wing populist JA21 party, also known as the Conservative Liberals.

It was supported by three of the four coalition parties. The motion passed in a 73-71 vote, with the opposition Socialists (SP) also voting in favor.

Though the motion is not legally binding, it raises uncertainty about how the government will proceed.

    Trump’s strategy is to smash Canada & Greenland,

    then between Russia & the US, DESTROY the hated-by-Trump-Musk-&-Putin, EU.

    Either the US TOTAL WAR against Canada prevents Trump from chewing the EU to pieces,

    & the EU successfully fights against Russia’s CCP-backed rampaging of Europe when NATO’s gutted/gone,

    XOR the EU dies, possibly late this decade or very-early next.

    Clue in!!

    They want to be the ONLY ruling “kings” in the whole world, & “civilized” intention isn’t even in their brains, at all, now.

    We are standing on what Sun Tzu called “death ground”!
