Last July (2019) Prime Minister Rutte of the Netherlands visited US President Trump at the White House, to discuss, among other things, the support for a “new” Syria mission in the near future.
Actually, the deeper reason is not mentioned. In september 2018 Dutch media leaked that the Dutch government supported terrorist groups in Syria, among them Al-Queda, Jaish al-Islam – HTS branches.
There was a public debat in parliament and clear to the Dutch public that the Netherlands sponsored terrorists! Untill now the regular Dutch MSM is deeply divided over the guilt of the Dutch government, mainly the sponsored state outlets like NRC and NOS are still reporting the 10 year long propganda; Assad killed it’s own people, the dictator etc..blabla. These above mentioned outlets are indirectly sponsored by the Dutch government in a what they call in Dutch “subsidies”.
Afterwards there was a debate, the minister of Foreign Affairs Stef Block was not removed, because it happened before he became Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Dutch government, under no circumstances should collapse, but it was and is all public knowledge and the Dutch government wants to forget their murderous adventure in first Yugoslavia now Syria and focussing on a new “safer” mission war (peace mission they call it), in Mali.
