Strijder124 wrote that Hanneke van der Werf (D66) said last month that Europe should, if necessary, shoot at Russian launch installations itself. He also stated that Minister Yesilgöz had not referred to Russia as an aggressor the day before, but as an enemy. According to Strijder124, this deliberately escalated the conflict further and the Netherlands was at the forefront of that rhetoric. Ron Keller warned according to Strijder124 that Vladimir Putin could use the designation as an open enemy to mobilize an additional 100,000 troops. Keller said such statements heightened the conflict further and were not in the interest of the Netherlands. #Rusland #conflict #veiligheid (translated)
