Well his actual “speech” there said why should the US stay in NATO when the EU is dependent on Russian energy and also directly funding the Russian economy. ht

  It’s correct trump was very critical of Germany for their gas deals, but trump had a record of attacking Europe and nato at any chance he got. But He simultaneously praised and fawned over Putin and deferred to him so much that even trump’s own top advisers considered they may have dirt on him. The criticisms of Germany really seemed to stem out of his antipathy to Germany, just one of about 29countries in nato. It doesn’t make sense to refer to that guy on Russia/nato when the only time he was right was when it happened to give him a way to criticize a country he hated, while turning around and fawning over the Russian leader when not talking about Germany. It doesn’t make sense to bring up trump here unless one simply can’t get over trump. There’s plenty of others who are far more appropriate like romney who got made fun of for being right on Russia, not someone who showed open appreciation of Russia hacking their political opponents and regularly showed admiration and deference to Putin.

    I didn’t bring up Trump. A broken clock is right twice a day, but pretending Trump wasn’t right in this regard is just as disingenuous as all the people who think he’s never wrong.
