Dutch readers of the BNNVARA resource commented on the statement by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, in which he hinted that his country, as well as Belgium and Denmark, may well respond positively to Kiev’s numerous requests for the supply of fighter planes. Specifically, we are talking about the F – 16, which is in service with the Air Force of each of the countries mentioned above.
Visitors to the resource, however, did not limit themselves only to the subject of military supplies and tried to understand the conflict as a whole.
The original was presented under the title Rutte: F16’s voor Oekraïne geen taboe. All opinions reflect only the personal position of the users of the resource. Comments are selective.
I wouldn’t talk about it directly, but we ourselves were so keen to keep the peace. For years, NATO moved ever closer to the border with Russia, and the reaction was to be expected. What do you think the United States would do if Russia made a serious effort to, for example, bring Mexico into its sphere of direct military influence? You can imagine the answer if you remember what happened during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Mexico could easily ally with Russia, but it would get a trade boycott. Cuba is still an independent country and has not been annexed by the United States. But of course you are comparing apples to oranges. The Cold War is over and no one is threatening Russia. Russia’s sphere of influence is under threat. NATO member countries can no longer be threatened militarily by Russia, which is why the Russian Federation opposes it so vehemently. Russia obviously does not feel in danger, but it can no longer control its neighbors by threatening them with a club

Our country claimed that F – 16 – to protect our airspace. But in practice we never had to use it for these purposes, this plane was always used to bomb other countries
says a Panthera reader.
So make sure they are delivered ASAP! Because a spoon is needed for dinner, not after. Either way, they won’t have time to attack
urged reader JanDuine2.
It’s not even so much the delivery of the planes themselves. That’s just the easy part, but there’s also the logistics of sourcing fuel, spare parts, and personnel. Maintaining this equipment is a task of a completely different order than something Russian-made
– sobered the previous KM2 commentator.
Rutte decides nothing on this question. Since the F – 16 is an American aircraft, the United States itself must authorize the supply of Dutch F – 16s to Ukraine. So…as long as it’s a taboo for the United States, no car will definitely be delivered. The same story as with the Leopard 2 tanks, which were also only approved after German clearance.
