Key US allies in NATO, including some long-time advocates of President Trump, are expressing severe opposition to Wednesday’s announcement of an upcoming summit between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Polish Sen. Anna Maria Anders said everyone needs to be worried, saying that Putin is “extremely charming” and it would be impossible to predict how Trump would react to this. She expressed concern Putin would talk Trump into withdrawing from Poland.
Other European officials offered similar concerns that Trump might make “spontaneous promises” to Putin on myriad important issues. They said the worst-case scenario would be Trump embracing Putin after a tense meeting with NATO.
This has been a recurring issue since Trump took office. Trump’s campaign talk of improving US-Russia ties was rejected by most other NATO members, and since then every hint of Trump meeting Putin or having talks with Russia has been followed by panic from those nations.
While it’s unlikely a simple summit with Russia would lead to any shocking changes in bilateral ties, the opposition is chiefly about changing the status quo, with much of NATO very comfortable with remaining hostile toward Russia, and fearing even the illusion of rapprochement.
The warmongers and and their stooge in media are afraid that their profits in the military industrie might be in danger.
Better jaw jaw than war war, though if I was Ukrainian I might feel a bit more concerned.
A neo nazi coup Ukrainian or a Donbass Ukrainian?
Showing again who the warmongers are and who have loved being beneficiaries of our Deep State protection racket.
One can talk and walk and one can talk and not walk. Hopefully, the two men will do the both.
At this time i do not know whether Russia [or China] is asking, advising, or demanding N.Korea does not destroy even one rifle, let alone a tank or a nuke, unless US destroys one ban on one item N.Koreans needs.
A promise by US that it will suspend next military exercise is but too tiny a goody to warrant N.Korea get rid but of one weapon.
For, everybody knows [ok, expects], US will not attack a strong military country like N.Korea and in which there is no civil war going on or can be made; nor even one terrorist organization.
We’ve had and have today such situations in Serbia, Ukraine, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Venezuela, Colombia, Honduras….
I just cannot believe that N.Koreans are that naive or unaware how distrustful and cruel the West still is.
Of course, once Koreas become one Korea and agree on its political and ideological system, everything changes for better for all Koreans.
Oh, they should just release the tension, embrace Putin and go have an orgy already. Look at that picture again – you could cut the flirtation with a knife. On second thought, let’s leave the knives and knife metaphors at home.
