Well, then Michel has certainly an idea how to transform 26 NATO members into a fighting force without US tankers, sensor platforms, recon & communication satellites, large scale command & control infrastructure, air defense, deep strike capabilities, jet engines & electronics, software, sea line protection for critical materials, air/sea lift and a dozen other critical military fundamentals which the US provides within NATO. All stuff which the non-US part of NATO either does not possess or only possess in miniscule numbers.
And where the hundreds of billions will come on how to pay for that transformation.

I give that statement a “Daddy”/10.
I get where he is coming from but I don’t share his view.
It’s crystal clear and obvious to everyone that Rutte is only putting on an act for the naked emperor, trying to somehow to keep the alliance together for as long as possible.
Rutte and Infantino should make comercials for lube.
“The job of the NATO General Secretary is to keep the Americans in, the Russians out, and the Germans down”
Rutte is the only reason NATO survived 2016, and that’s why he’s at the helm now. Without him, Denmark and Germany would have doomed the alliance then and seen Ukraine thrown to the wolves for cheap gas.
Like Fogh Rasmussen, he is working on his career opportunities, after he is done as Nato General Secretary.
I was never a fan of him, and now he really shows his color – which just makes him even more despicable.
Charles Michel is useless and work only and solely for one thing : himself.
Now, regarding Mark Rutte statement, why does he state such a thing ? Because he plays a role where he have to maintain NATO cohesion. What is the endgame of such a statement ? Make European countries realize strategic sovereignty is not just word, but action and coherent policies implementation.
First of all, ditch F-35. Buy sovereign European fighter jet. Russian air defense system are vulnerable to 4.5 gen fighter, it requires electronic warfare much more than stealth. You can buy Rafale, or Eurofighter, or work on europeanisation of Grippen.
