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.
