Dude, if you do not comprehend the flaw in your reasoning, then so be it. Think about what 'total usage' means. Then research what other sources they have (renewables alone is 40%), plus where else they import from (like Norway), and what they have on their own. With that information you can figure out how much of the total usage requires imports from Russia.

I just don't understand...why can't Trump literally just "be nice?" What is wrong with him psychologically? You can't be polite and express your issues with our foreign friends in a decent manner?

Anybody who doesn't agree with anything he says is immediately an enemy and he attacks them. Trump must really be insecure with those "small hands" of his, always having to be "tough" and "macho" ALL the time.

This is a rhetorical question, isn't it?



He's such a boor. You'd think he would have learned some kind of manners, growing up in a family of means, but I don't think they were ever part of any sort of polite society.

His staff can't leave fast enough.

Trump did not even write his own book. Hell, I don't even think he read it.

As far as the NATO summit is concerned, if that is your best excuse for a rambling, embarrassing performance by Trump, we are in a very bad place indeed.
Just a clarification, Trump has NEVER declared bankruptcy. I suggest you read up on what Bankruptcy was filed and then understand why/how/when such filings are done and how often by others.

Also, people who try frequently fail, those who do not try never fail. Which do you ascribe to be?

Hmmm, well, how has "nice" worked out for us so far? One sided trade, we pay the lions share for most every "deal" we get into with other countries and have for decades. Where has being "nice" benefitted US as a nation?
Time to try another tactic and show some backbone.

Well many of us in the USA want to pull out, Germany wants us to pull out (according to the link Brave posted), and it would save us a buttload of cash...so I say, pull out now.

I do understand that Germany has Nazi tendencies and it's better to have boots on the ground there already in case they do again get the urge to take over Europe but they are committing suicide by bringing in millions of migrants whose purpose it is to destroy them so I think they'll get the job done in time.

We've been a prosperous nation for 50 years. Pretending that we got nothing out of it is just ill-informed.


I hope to God we don't every have another 911 on our hands because I'm not sure we would have any allies left to step forward for us.


That is Trump's fault.

I trust the former commanding officer of the US military in Europe more than Donald Trump any day of the week:

Yep, and these same people who are defending Trump will be the first to whine when these allies Trump has no use for suddenly, in our time of need, have no use for us.
