Fine, let the Dutch fight the Russians. Not our problem.

Nothing’s ever your problem is it? People like you don’t really matter. You don’t care about the rest of the world, and neither does the rest of the world care about you and your opinion.

This is the Netherlands 911.

Can't blame them for stepping up. Obama sure as hell is not going to do anything.

In addition, Dutch special forces currently in Mali are being recalled and sent on to the area around Donetsk ....

I guess negotiations with Borodai for the return of the bodies of the MH17 victims that the Russians are holding for ransom didn't go very well.

“The paper says all leave for the commandos of the 11 Luchtmobiele Brigade based in Schaarsbergen and Assen has been cancelled and that soldiers will leave for eastern Ukraine this weekend.”

They’re sending a mobile field kitchen; how is that stepping up?

(Sorry)

Australian troops are also on their way.

So they'll be going Dutch.

Will their battle cry be “Remember Srebrenicza!?”

Ukraine's not. If I don't really matter, then why are you answering me?

My guess is the state department is in a dither.
The Netherlands IS a NATO member.
If this goes south, where does NATO stand?

If Russian forces attack Dutch soldiers inside the sovereign territory of Ukraine, the Netherlands will have the right to invoke article 5 of the NATO charter, requiring NATO to come to their aid against Russia’s aggressive acts of war.
