Speaking after NATO defense ministers' talks on June 18, Rutte aimed to highlight NATO's strength against Russia's strained war economy, which devotes 48% of its budget to defense. Critics on social media mocked the comment as a factual error, since Russia's 17.1 million square kilometers dwarfs the smaller nations' combined 72,000 square kilometers and its population of 144 million tops their 30 million. Defenders noted Rutte likely meant Russia's economy, projected at $2.66 trillion nominally—exceeding Belgium and Netherlands' $2.23 trillion combined—echoing his past explicit comparisons.
