NATO's Rutte urges Zelenskiy to mend his relationship with Trump
BRUSSELS, March 1 (Reuters) - NATO chief Mark Rutte said on Saturday he told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that he needs to find a way to restore his relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump after their clash at a White House meeting on Friday.
The confrontation flared over differing visions of how to end Russia's three-year-old invasion, with Zelenskiy seeking strong security guarantees from a Trump administration that has embraced diplomacy with Vladimir Putin's Russia.
The meeting, which Rutte described as "unfortunate", plunged ties between Kyiv and its top military backer to a new low. "I said: I think you have to find a way, dear Volodymyr, to restore your relationship with Donald Trump and the American administration. That is important going forward," Rutte told the BBC, commenting on a call he had with Zelenskiy on Friday.

You cannot mend a friendship with someone who has no interest in being friends with you.

They didn't "clash" at the White House: Zelensky got a bona fide dressing down from the orange utan and the couch fucker, like a little kid who done something wrong, purely based on untruths and lies.
If anything, the man should be praised for keeping his cool. Can you imaging being scolded by those two morons while your country has been at war for three fucking years and you have to endure the indignity to try and save it? If I had been Zelensky, I would have spat on them, gotten up and left.
-
Let's not just blame the orange one and the couch fucker. You also had their cadre of far-right "journalists" who took a break from their normal conspiracies to get into a fight about Zelensky's choice of clothes.

Rutte works for the Americans literally. NATO is a US alliance. He's European but can't contradict his masters.
-
There was no relationship to mend in the first place.
-
Translation: *lick the boot, here, I'll show you how...
-
"How I became the president of a NATO?"
pulls American flag and a boot from inside pocket
-
you're too good. i was gonna say that rutte took the american flag from somewhere else.

Is Mark Rutte a MAGAt or an idiot? Does he understand that Trump is Putin's ally and he's telling Zelenskyy to tilt at windmills?
-
He's the NATO chief, and NATO is basically the embodiment of America militarily defending Europe. Of course he wants Trump and Zelensky to make up and kiss. He's just saying what his job demands him to say.
-
Rutte and Keir Starmer are American agents selling out Europe for their own personal gain.
Rutte covering up negative info about Israel to protect future NATO job, officials say
“What can we say so that it appears that Israel is not committing war crimes?”

When you're dealing with a malignant narcissist there is no relationship, there's just another vile asshole telling you how it is going to be. The felon made it clear that there was to be no negotiating and Zelenskiy could kiss his feet and smile while being abused.
A couple of years ago when talking about the amount of crime in many areas of Mexico, a Mexican citizen said to me, "I weep for my country." As a U.S. citizen watching this vile, disgusting man in the White House, I weep for mine.

EU should tariff the shit out of our exports and buy Ukrainian grain instead of American products.
-
Just look for which EU countries do not have a US military base within missile range to find who would actually do such a thing.

He was a rat back when he was PM. Unsurprisingly he's still a rat.
