NATO Head Says “Wartime Mindset” Needed
Redirect “Pensions, Health, Social Security” To Military Spending
“Freedom does not come for free”
Steve Watson | Modernity.news
Former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who was this year selected as the Secretary General of NATO, has stated that Europeans need to “shift to a wartime mindset” and that military spending must be increased, likely at the expense of things like health care.
Rutte made the remarks at, ironically, a meeting of The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Brussels, declaring that Russia is trying to “crush our freedom and way of life.”
“Hostile actions against Allied countries are real and accelerating… These attacks are not just isolated incidents. They are the result of a coordinated campaign to destabilise our societies and discourage us from supporting Ukraine,” he added.
We can prevent the next big war on #NATO territory and preserve our way of life.
This requires us all to be faster and fiercer.
It is time to shift to a wartime mindset.

Rutte further asserted that Russia is using unconventional “hybrid warfare” attacks against Europe, circumventing NATO’s traditional defence and bringing “the front line to our front doors. Even into our homes”.
“Ukrainians are fighting against Russian swarms of drones. That’s what we need to be prepared for”, Rutte told the conference.
“I know spending more on defence means spending less on other priorities. But it is only a little less,” he continued, adding that “On average, European countries easily spend up to a quarter of their national income on pensions, health and social security systems.”
“We need a small fraction of that money to make our defences much stronger, and to preserve our way of life,” he proclaimed, reasoning that “freedom does not come for free.”
Nato boss Mark Rutte calls on European members of Nato to spend less on pensions, health and social security and more on defence “to preserve our way of life”. So the poor must pay for endless Nato wars? pic.twitter.com/gWi6ABthez

I don’t think many people will be fighting to defend the Globalist war machine run by utter lunatics intent on the destruction of the World. Looks like you will be fighting this on your own

Take a weapon and take all you NATO warmongering politicians with you and go on the front to stand behind your words. No one needs you! The people didn‘t chose you.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
