So the new standard of an alliance that goes back decades is Europe can defend itself an we can't be bothered, because the president indicates NATO is absolete. If Russia were to invade Poland we will just deem that their problem. I've never seen a president insult our historical allies so quickly.

That guy in the WH is destroying relationships built over decades.

If you don't see it as bad let's see if others do.
Maniac Merkel is destroying her country by letting in massive amounts of refugees

But to be fair, it will undoubtedly be replaced by an even worse in short order.
Germany wont go their own way. Its a bluff. Even if they did they would be the ones hurt not us!

Germany leaving in refugees. IS NOT A REASON TO DISRESPECT OFFICIALLY ITS CURRENT LEADER. HECK THEY STILL WELCOMED TRUMP OUT OF RESPECT TO THE US. NOT THE MAN.

Doesn't matter if the Germans or the Canadians BLUFF fighting back? TRUMP ENFLAMED THINGS FOR PERSONAL REASONS ALONE.This is ridicules of a US president.


Why in this world would we want to alienate Europe and Germany in particular? It is solely because thier news media like ours.... has made satire a out him and he feels NO LOVE from the Germans in general and politically.

Where would we be with no Germany?
- most Americans with White ancestry have German as part
- the US forgave its once foes of Germany, Italy and Japan WE ARE EUROPE TOO
- would be no white America if not for Europe as the motherland (pun intended)

All this is to get even. By a man personally for not embracing Trump with the LOVE OF A KING. --->For a Trip that fully embraced the Saudis with love .... and then DISRESPECT TO THE GERMANS IS UNAMERICAN. Not like this is WW2 era of a German dictator to show disrespect to. The Saudis would be as 3rd world nomads in their land if not for Oil.

They deserve merely cordial respect as business partners. GERMANY AND EUROPE TODAY Deserve RESPECT, ADMIRATION AND A UNBENDING UNITY. Merkel is merely a Prime Minister. But to show HIGH DISRESPECT in their Nation is A DISHONOR TO OUR OWN NATION.

In such a world we live. We should be showing a UNBREAKABLE BOND to Europe not a BRUSH-OFF for them not LOVING OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT and the MAN TRUMP PERSONALLY IS USING IT IN POLICY AND DISRESPECT TO A NATION.

** This is solely PERSONAL for Trump at this stage. His shoulders are not broad in not being loved. I can't imagine any former US REPLUBLICAN Presidents showing LOVE to the Saudis and Russians.... and then DISRESPECT to the Germans and Europe and NATO. Goes too far and TOO PERSONAL.

Trump can voice political differences WITH A RESPECTFUL GRACE but behind closed doors make some strong EXPECTATIONS and DEMANDS. It all makes us seem
- a undependable partner in a world we MUST TAKE SIDES
- is far more about showing UNITY with Europe to the world and NATO then to risk MISTRUST of a Allie for decades by a US PRESIDENT WITH A PERSONAL VENDETTA.

You could tell in Trumps face with the Saudis vs Germans a total SNUB and that SMUG FACE ALONE GETS WORSE.

I voted for the man despite my reservations of taking things personal and a getting even with them attitude. Me reservations were proven right. I WANT MY PRESIDENT SHOWING FULL RESPECT ABROAD WITH OUR STRONGEST ALLIES AND BEING CORDIAL WITH THE REST we are more FORCED to do business with. Like the Saudis with their culture that we do not fully embrace.

The Royalty and Pomp of the Saudis was right up Trumps alley and he loved it. That is HOW HE WANTS TO BE TREATED AT HOME IN HIS TRAVELS HERE. YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL.

So if Russia would invade Poland you take up arms and go over there and defend them? Well, good luck. I sure as hell wouldn't.
