Since Germany is not controlled by Russia I would say that this is just another red herring lie from the liar in chief.
We should wait until Germany and the rest of Europe is dependent on Russia and then speak up?
No. Europe is being foolish if they believe that Russia is anyone's friend.
BRUSSELS -- President Donald Trump claimed a pipeline project has made Germany "totally controlled" by and "captive to Russia" during a combative breakfast Wednesday that kicked off what was already expected to be a fraught NATO summit.
Mr. Trump, in a testy exchange with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, took issue with the U.S. protecting Germany when the European nation is making deals with Russia.
The president appeared to be referring to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline that would bring gas from Russia to Germany's northeastern Baltic coast, bypassing Eastern European nations like Poland and Ukraine and doubling the amount of gas Russia can send directly to Germany. The vast undersea pipeline is opposed by the U.S. and some other EU members, who warn it could give Moscow greater leverage over Western Europe.
Mr. Trump, in a message to Germany, asked why the U.S. should "protect you against Russia" when the two countries are making deals. "You tell me, is that appropriate?" he asked, adding that: "Germany is totally controlled by Russia."
They truly think Trump is a mental midget, until Trumps common sense remarks is all it takes to shut them up and put them in their place.
You BS your friends and I'll BS my friends, but let's not BS each other...... Because, as you just learned, I am the master at that game, Trump said. LOL!!!!!!
Of course they should make their own deals. But if our military is there for protection, it should come with strings attached. That's part of deal making.
His openly hostile attitude against the West sure makes him seem like he is being controlled by Moscow.
So, the truth is hostile??
No wonder you guys need Safe Space!!! The truthbombs have been hitting the target!
He just pointed out, Putin has more control over Germany, than NATO does. and we basically fund NATO.
Trump basically told Merkel to get her protection from Russia then. Bwhahahahahahahaha!
Yep, the buffoon is so dumb that he openly criticizes our most valued allies, and then praises Putin and Kim out of the other side of his mouth.
OP, you have to understand that everything that happens to Donald Trump is his own doing. If he gave us no ammunition, we would have very little to say. But he can not control himself, has no discipline, and deserves every comment that is made about him.
If "Germany is totally controlled by Russia" because of oil imports then the US is totally controlled by Canada.
