Just a little Clown's World: On Wednesday the German organization Wirtschaftliche Gesellschaft für Westfalen und Lippe e.V. (WWL)
awarded their International Peace Prize of 100K euros to Mark Rutte and NATO. This prize is awarded every two years by an undisclosed jury which includes politicians. The prize's title relates to two peace treaties signed in 1648 which ended a series of wars in Europe between 1618 and 1648, and which established the basis for the principle of state sovereignty. I think Mark Rutte very much proved himself an enemy of this principle during his years as PM of Holland and beyond, but in this topsy turvy world it fits perfectly. From MSN:
"In times of global uncertainty, NATO creates reliability, promotes partnership and enables peace through stability [read: war], said WWL chairman Reinhard Zinkann.
"Under the leadership of Mark Rutte, it shows that military strength and peacekeeping are not contradictory, but mutually dependent," Zinkann explained.
Since taking office in 2024, the Dutchman has made a decisive contribution as a leader to ensuring that the NATO alliance acts in a united and peace-oriented manner, according to the jury."
Mark Rutte, the man who last year while still Dutch PM said: "What can we say to make it look like Israel is not committing war crimes?"
Yes, War is Peace and they know it. OMG, super barf
