It was Alternative Media’s chance to put NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in the hot seat amid ratcheting dangerous escalation in what has clearly long been a proxy war in Ukraine.

“People view your coming here as lobbying the US government to continue its involvement in the war… but Ukrainians themselves don’t want to fight the war so how do you justify that morally?” 

Rutte waffled, talking about wanting peace, but then praised Trump’s plan of injecting more weapons by selling them to NATO, for ultimate use in Ukraine. Cosgrove then pressed him, incredulously posing: “You think more weapons will wind down the war?” Rutte dodged, and was visibly uncomfortable while Trump actually seemed pleased to look on in observation as it unfolded.
