President Trump’s will be dealing with this man after he takes office in 2025. Stoltenberg, who can’t wait for World War III, was in the position for far too long.
Mark Rutte, the outgoing Dutch Prime Minister, has emerged victorious in the race to become the next NATO Secretary General, a pivotal role for the alliance at a time of considerable global tension. This development follows the withdrawal of his sole competitor, solidifying Rutte’s path to leadership. His confirmation is expected soon, and he will assume his new responsibilities on October 1, succeeding Jens Stoltenberg, who has held the position for nearly ten years.
The appointment of Mark Rutte as NATO Secretary General takes the world one step closer to WWIII.

Rutte steps into the role during a critical period marked by ongoing Russian military actions in Ukraine and the political landscape shaped by figures such as Donald Trump, who is seeking re-election in the United States. Known for his strong support of Ukraine, Rutte secured backing from key NATO members including the US, the UK, France, and Germany after announcing his candidacy subsequent to his departure from Dutch politics.
While Rutte has been a vocal critic of Vladimir Putin, his stance is perceived as less aggressive than potential candidates from central and eastern Europe. This perspective helped him become the consensus choice among NATO members. However, unanimous consent from all 32 NATO members was necessary for his appointment. Rutte achieved this by first gaining support from Turkey, despite initial reservations, and later from Hungary, despite past disagreements over issues such as democratic standards and EU financial policies.

The confirmation of Rutte’s appointment was virtually assured when Romanian President Klaus Iohannis withdrew from the contest. Romania, in a gesture of support, committed to providing one of its Patriot missile systems to Ukraine, contingent on the alliance replacing it with a similar defense capability.
During his tenure as Dutch Prime Minister, Rutte, often referred to as “Teflon Mark” for his ability to navigate political challenges unscathed, has demonstrated a pragmatic and straightforward leadership style. This approach has earned him significant domestic support, enabling him to lead four successive coalition governments. Rutte is also known for his everyday demeanor, frequently seen cycling to work or shopping at local supermarkets, and for his long-standing commitment to teaching social studies at a high school.
Rutte’s diplomatic skills were notably on display during his interactions with former US President Donald Trump, earning him the moniker “Trump whisperer” for his ability to engage effectively with the controversial leader, particularly during NATO discussions on defense spending.

The Netherlands under Rutte has significantly supported Ukraine, providing substantial military aid and advocating for strategic military resources like F-16 fighter jets. This support underscores a broader shift in Rutte’s stance towards the European Union, evolving from viewing it merely as a commercial bloc to recognizing its strategic importance in global affairs, particularly in response to challenges posed by Brexit and migration crises.
