Holland has deep historical and economic ties with Russia.

The Netherlands inspired Peter the Great to open a window to Europe while he was trained as a shipwright in Amsterdam. In 1816, the Dutch Crown Prince of Orange married Grand Duchess Anna Pavlovna, sister of Alexander I.

The flat country is also run like a company.

Holland, that once had a Russian Queen, is now caught in a U.S dictated geo-political war against the big bear. The sanctions are starting to backfire immensely, wrecking the pillars of the European economy.

This must not have gone unnoticed in the Hague.

People ultimately choose their interests instead of mass outrage over a political war between countries they’ve never visited. They like heating in winter instead of giving an ex-actor in a jungle suit another $100 billion.

Money that is poorly monitored and spent on arms that kill real people, not politicians. Nobody…
