Explain to me how taiwan is a military colony of NATO please. Because if i remember correctly there has never been any NATO mission there, just US based operations to safeguard its borders from china. Which has repeatedly stated its intent to absorb taiwan back into its borders for the past 5 decades.

I there is a pretty big difference between safeguarding a nations sovereignty and actively making threats to invade anothers territory. One is basic international decency and another is being an absolute twat. Also NATO is a military alliance, and like 70% of a military is just logistics and sourcing supplies. When something is threating the bottom like of their fighting ability, like idk, no more the chip making plants in taiwan. Then it would be stupid not to protest. If rutte and NATO should stop interfering in that region of the world like you want to , they would first need to build up a chip manufacturing industry here and that is a multi decade , muti trillion euro endeavour. Since so much of our industry here is high tegh stuff ( think cars and such) this would be a massive shake up in the economy, possible destabilising it due to the extremely low chance of return of investment and massive build up costs (chips are damn hard to make). Simply put europe and NATO can not afford to loose taiwan because if we do, we loose our teeth and our economy, the whole house comes crashing down when removing taiwan.

Taiwan is the backbone of semiconductor production, unless you want to go back to dumb rocks instead of guided rockets you need to protect taiwan. Also with the effectiveness of drones in the ukraine war has shown that we need chips whether you like it or not

Say you let the people decide, it still wouldnt make a difference because that what a jury does. If you would make every single case in the country a sort of referendum like vote, it would then be very easily influenced, and thus not be impartial and fair like how a legal system should work. Imagine this a murderer is on trail, he brutally killed 5 people in a maniac rampage, but hes a massively succesful tiktokker(ew) and says hes very very sorry and it won’t happen again. Do you maybe think the results would be skewed in his favor due to his massive fanbase? If no, you are oblivious to how easily people are manipulated.

The peoples vote is inherently objective and never impartial. The law exist to try and remedy that so that everybody is treated fairly. Also do you really want someone in power where its proven that they laundered huge amounts of money to themselves? Thats just a recipe for disaster.

Mijn god dit mens kan ook echt niets goeds doen. Het verbaast mij dat schoof haar niet uit het kabinet schopt want zij heeft alleen maar voor chaos gezorgd deze maanden.

It requires more pictures of the horndog as sacrifice.
