Meanwhile, Dutch police unions have said they have serious doubts about sending unarmed officers to Ukraine and say there are major risks attached to their mission. Police officers should be used as part of a UN mission, they said. ‘But sending 40 unarmed officers is not what we were thinking of,’ a spokesman from one union told Nos news.I see large ransoms in the Dutch government's future.

Walking your armed forces (even when unarmed) uninvited into a communist country is pure foolishness of the Dutch.
Where the hell do they think they are?
This is not the US with its open border policy.

With the exception of the War of the Fourth Coalition (1806-1807), in which it participated as a French satellite, I don’t believe Holland has ever been at war with Russia.

The article says that elite special forces will be there to protect the unarmed military police. So some of the Dutch troops will be armed.

Then everything will be alright.
Will there first be naval and air bombardments before landing the troops or do they think they can persuade Putin with a bottle of Bols Jenever?

And this is how it starts. It's not going to be PeeWee Cobb, but some cocky Dutch or Aussie firing off a round.

Australian troops are also on their way.

I bet Moscow is scared.
Wonder if they are bringing their hairnets with them. It can get windy in the Steppes.
Better they stay home and fight the Muslims there.

Arnold is Austrian, not Dutch.

His name was 'Dutch' in the movie, Commando.
Everyone gets it who saw the movie.
