Mark Rutte could use a swift kick in the nuts!
Put him on the Beeb!
There are enough weirdo RWNJ nutjobs in the mix that I am sure a couple have.
Not sure what Rutte could be doing differently, he is not a head of state.
So what are the consequences of not meeting the ultimatum, declaration of war?
Quite sure the result is going to be…

It’s alright mate. I just asked Chat GPT.
Is it a 2 week deadline?
After @SBYM’s follow up posts I’m suspecting that he is the one who told them.
This administration is full of highly educated catholics (lots converted protestants) who have read everything about the Catholic church but somehow fucking hate the idea of catholicism and the pope. Its very very very weird.

It is somehow a bizarre right wing nut job career path, full-throated embrace of ultramontanist thinking…until an actual Pope disagrees with them.
Was Melania trying to flood the grid?
Their ‘religion’ is all for show, playing to a Christian Nationalist audience. It turns my stomach as a sincere Christian believer. I don’t recognize their religion. It gives them a real problem when a proper religious leader calls their shit out, on the basis of some of the basic tenets of the Christian faith.
Threatening the Pope really plumbs the depths. It is depraved.
Legitimate issues with the Catholic Church don’t magically disappear, but it is lovely to see such a powerful man, the leader of 1.5 BILLION people globally, stand against Trump and the madness of MAGA, on behalf of what is right and decent.
The more it gets under Trump’s skin, the better. The more he reacts and threatens the Pope, the more he will damage himself.
Good.
That was a long winded post. Surprised that his goldfish of an attention span could text that much.
If it’s not Reuters article, I would have treated it as fake.
