I'm trying hard to think how weβre safer but coming up with nada.
@georgetakei I think Rutte is right.
The situation in the Middle-East was unsafe to begin with. In that sense, no big changes except Iran is dealing to rebuild etc.
Other big side-effect: because of the complete shitshow of the current US administration lead by Trump, Europe woke up. Spendings on defence was never this high, so in essence Rutte is right (and probably somewhat sarcastic).
