President Trump offered robust support for Europe and a rebuke of Russian President Vladimir Putin at the NATO Summit in The Hague on Wednesday, capping a visit that came as a relief to anxious allies across the continent.

The gathering was designed by NATO leadership to appease the president, and it delivered, with nearly all members of the transatlantic alliance agreeing to spend 5% of their gross domestic product on defense — a historic increase that had been a priority to Trump for several years.

“We’re with them all the way,” Trump said of NATO, sitting alongside its secretary general, Mark Rutte. He later added to reporters, “if I didn’t stand with it, why would I be here?”

Rutte was obsequious throughout the visit, at one point referring to Trump as "daddy" disciplining childlike nations at war with one another. But addressing reporters, he defended his praise of the president as well-earned.

3. They would be crazy to believe him...and I'm sure they are not crazy

They know he changes his mind on a whim....and what about his threats to invade Greenland? Is that off the table now?...and even if he said it was, would they believe him?

4. Never ever believe this variegated color Ass...he lies like a dog, forgive me all you canine readers on DU...

5. I wonder what he is up to now.

Suddenly friendly with Europe and even saying he'll send missiles to Ukraine (saw that somewhere today).

[groundloop]

6. My guess is he's attempting to get something from Putin......

Money, hotel deal, who knows...... but there absolutely has to be something going on which will benefit tRump.

11. His angle is Ukrainan minerals

And maybe he figured out he needed to boost NATO though and got an agreement but only in a superficial way.

14. He was sent to veto Ukraine entry into NATO.

The rest are making sure it doesn’t come up while Trump is there.

7. We're in 'till we're not in.

[llmart]

15. And this is why he's earned the nickname TACO!

[slightlv]

8. How utterly demeaning, humiliating, and (for us) embarrassing...

at one point referring to Trump as "daddy" disciplining childlike nations at war with one another.

9. Until he's not.

Don’t trust the fuck

[BurnDoubt]

10. Why would you trust him?????

I think they might have realized they might have to defend themselves... FROM HIM!!!!
This ISN'T a good omen for the Children of the World.
They're looking at a future of petty little Napoleons armed to the teeth and filled with righteous anger over some trivial slight.
Their futures in hock so Peacocks can Preen and Strut.
THIS IS WRONG!!!!!

12. NATO was formed to stop Soviet aggression .

Trump is starting to realize Putin is not his good buddy, but rather someone who would knife him in the back.

[Hugin]

13. NATO is heard to say, "Uh, oh." n/t

16. Remember that when he speaks he lies
