    So you go over there after Putin plays Trump like a London piano, and achieve absolutely nothing while Trump shows you his hat collection. Well done, can we have leaders who actually have a spine again please?

      They did get the US to accept talking about NATO-style security guarantees, and put Putin in a bind by forcing a meet with Zelensky.

      I don’t like these people, but they did good yesterday.

        Indeed, and as far as I understand it, even just the US intelligence is key for safe peacekeeping operations. I’d love to see Europe creating independence, but we clearly have to keep the US ar our side for our own security for awhile longer.

    “it’s better to be feared. Respect can only bring you so much”. Niccolò Machiavelli

    In EU’s case we don’t get any respect either.

    Weren’t the last opinions that the deal was all for show and that Trump didn’t receive much? Those investment requirements, are they going to be enforced?
