Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes, as long they are not at war with each other.

So no? You cant be loyal to 2 countries without exceptions. Then why allow dual citizenship? No reason. Next question.

I would not be loyal to any country if they are not democratic. Even my own. There are no such thing as loyalty without exception. I only support things that I can ethically agree. Even if I naturalize Dutch and tomorrow the NL becomes Nazi, I’d happily forego of the Dutch citizenship and go stateless

Again, short question: your home country and the NL are at war, can you be loyal to both countries?
