Trump and Stoltenberg get into tense exchange at NATO summit

[VIDEO] If Trump is Putin's puppet why did he publicly criticize Germany for being overly reliant on Russian pipelines for their energy needs?

To those who are being exposed to this only because of recent events, here's what has happened before all this: - 2011 - Nord Stream 1 nearing completion and Nord Stream AG starts thinking about two more lines (which would later be named Nord Stream 2) - 2015 Jun - Decision to build Nord Stream 2 was made [LINK] - 2017 Apr - Financing agreements signed [LINK] - 2018 Jan - Germany officially grants permit [LINK] - 2018 May - US diplomats start talking about sanctions [LINK] - 2018 Jul - Trump scolds NATO General Secretary over European energy relations with Russia [VIDEO] - 2019 Jan - US ambassador to Germany threatens sanctions [LINK] - 2019 Dec - US sanctions Nord Stream 2 [LINK] - 2020 Dec - US continues to protest, Germany continues to build [LINK] - 2021 Jan - Trump sanctions the Russian ship building Nord Stream 2 on his last day at the office [LINK] - 2021 Jan - EU sanctions it too [LINK] - 2021 May - US waives the sanctions on Nord Stream 2 [LINK] - 2021 Jun - First line construction is complete [LINK] - 2021 Sep - The full construction of Nord Stream 2 is complete [LINK] - 2022 Jan - Nord Stream 2 registers German subsidiary as a part of the certification process [LINK] This is a result of over a decade of planning and construction with governments, corporations and companies of Germany, UK, France, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Russia... and probably more countries to provide cheap and reliable and climate friendly energy source to Europe... and it

Don't forget Merkel. There are still people that say that Merkel was always against German dependence on Russian gas but could not do anything about it. For 16 years! There is more "evidence" that Merkel is a long-term Russian intelligence asset, recruited from her youth in East Germany,[1] than that of Trump being the same. One guess on which claim is incessantly repeated by the bien-pensants of the chattering classes. Bonus: Trump and Stoltenberg argue on camera (< [VIDEO] >). Who turned out to be right? Who turned out to completely, totally, 100% wrong? [1] Something else never talked about is how her parents moved from West to East Germany when she was a baby

>And think that Trump wanted USA to leave NATO. Talk about russian assets.. Speaking of Russian assets, there are still people that say that Merkel was always against German dependence on Russian gas but could not do anything about it. For 16 years! There is more "evidence" that Merkel is a long-term Russian intelligence asset, recruited from her youth in East Germany,[1] than that of Trump being the same. One guess on which claim is incessantly repeated by the bien-pensants of the chattering classes. Bonus: Trump and Stoltenberg argue on camera (< [VIDEO] >). Who turned out to be right? Who turned out to completely, totally, 100% wrong? [1] Something else never talked about is how her parents moved from West to East Germany when she was a baby

>I remember that on TV Trump was telling German chancellor that they should seek energy sources outside of Russia, and the media was mocking him for being populist or for being anti globalization (or for being paranoid as Russian would need buyers? I can't remember exactly). Is the orange man so bad that whatever he touches is a taboo? Is there any truth in what he does, and the executive branch can be less political but focus more on execution? Trump and Jens Stoltenberg of NATO argue on camera (< [VIDEO] >). Who turned out to be right? Who turned out to completely, totally, 100% wrong?

>> Pushing NATO members to meet their defense spending obligations ended up being damn-near prescient >This was not “pushing” so much as “ineffective trash talking”. Trump and Stoltenberg argue on camera (< [VIDEO] >). Who turned out to be right? Who turned out to completely, totally, 100% wrong? If Trump was so bad for NATO and Ukraine's defense, why didn't the current war didn't begin in 2017-2020? Let me guess: You think that the current state of the Ukrainian military (in terms of training and weaponry) that enabled it to survive the initial Russian invasion in February when few believed it could, somehow magically began in January 2021. It is a fact that the Trump administration continued and accelerated the training and arming of Ukrainian military by the US that his predecessor began. Let me also guess: You are one of those gullible who say that Merkel was always against German dependence on Russian gas but could not do anything about it. For 16 years! There is more "evidence" that Merkel is a long-term Russian intelligence asset, recruited from her youth in East Germany,^1 than that of Trump being the same. One guess on which claim is incessantly repeated by the bien-pensants of the chattering classes. ^1 Something else never talked about is how her parents moved from West to East Germany when she was a baby

>If by diplomacy you mean kowtowing to everything Russia does, I'm not sure that's much better. Trump and Stoltenberg argue on camera (< [VIDEO] >). Who turned out to be right? Who turned out to completely, totally, 100% wrong?

Trump proven right yet again. Another example: Trump and Stoltenberg argue on camera (< [VIDEO] >). Who turned out to be right about NATO and Russia? Who turned out to completely, totally, 100% wrong?
