How come the Dutch people aren't offering more than the US investors to purchase this company, since this seems to be so close at heart?

This kind of attitude is exactly why American-style capitalism is not wanted. As if money is the only thing that matters? Maybe there aren’t enough Dutch investors with deep enough pockets to match the American offer because the US prints the worlds reserve currency with no fiscal balance whatsoever. American investors are playing with monopoly money propped up by an army to bully anyone who doesn’t take it.

maybe how much money you are willing to spend isn't a perfect measure of how important something is?
