1. Nah. They know they can manipulate him with flattery.

It's realpolitik. They let him think they admire him and they can keep him from having a tantrum - it's like giving an ice cream cone to a bratty three-year-old to make him stop screaming and breaking his toys.

3. Well, they *are* dependent on the U.S., & know "leaders" come/go and have to weasel

2. I just breezed through in increments.

Everyone looked like they were having a good time meeting, greeting and chatting. Donnie is only seen in a few 1 second clips and largely ignored.

4. Well, O.K., I don't know who the source "as" is but news clips show everybody being

being chummy with KRASNOV/"daddy"?

5. UTube blurb:

Before the NATO summit officially began, a striking scene unfolded behind the scenes as world leaders gathered around Donald Trump to greet him. Their eagerness to pay respect highlighted Trump’s influential presence and the shifting dynamics on the global stage.

That sure didn't happen in this clip.

6. I'm a sucker for click bait!!!!!!!1 - yet the overall message is with the blurb, no?

So the narrow interpretation of the clip doesn't match the blurb but the asskissing, schmoozing fits and the concluding results sound like appeasement (of KRASNOV) to me.

Maybe we need for KRASNOV to make peace between you and me! (I love you)
