Trump/Putin disaster summit. And also overseas visit w/ NATO & UK.

All this talk about NATO being in trouble are premature. Give a Democrat a year and it'll be like Trump never happened.

Any European Country who doesnt pay 2% of their GDP in defense then should not have the audacity to criticize US foreign policy then since it is the US who is spending their own money to defend them.

Don't be an idiot. If a friend gives you something, knowing that it antagonizes your beliefs or is something you generally hate, of course you have the right to criticize them for it. The only thing is that in addition to criticism, they should be prepared to develop capabilities that enable them to have a more independent foreign policy.

If Europeans problem with the US is the fact that the US has military bases in Europe then they should tell that to the US and then I would support the US withdrawing their troops from European bases(except maybe the UK) .


The thing is Europe wants America to defend them but are not willing to spend their own money on it either to maintain their own defenses and that is the part which is maddening

I'd bet that has more to do with Trump than anything else.

In Trumps defense, that's not what he said.

This European trip has been nothing but a huge embarrassment for Trump and this country. Today is just the huge cherry on top.

Was Trump expecting this to turn out like North Korea? Did he go in thinking he would get some kind of bump for "making peace" with Russia?

[BudgieForce]

Well Trump walked it back. Shocking, not. The problem has all gone away!

Expect a walk back bump. /s
