This didn’t age well for NATO. Trump called it. Hate him or love him but he called it.

[@rasmuspedersen3563]

Lol and if he hadnt called it he would have been a Jerk.. Human beings have this thing with if its right its get blown up to porpotions ... If its not no one ever mentions it... If i keep saying the stock market gonna crash all the time and it does crash after 8 or 10 years i could write a book about it and get rich and say "Look i told u so!" ... If nothing happens everything would be the same... Everyone could be right about something after a certain time lol...

@@theQuestion626 Did you not watch the video? He points out that NATO is ineffective and incohesive as an alliance. While you have Poland, which refuses any natural gas from Russia, you have Germany brokering a deal which makes it 70% reliant on Russia for energy.

Trump was only saying in public what many were saying behind closed doors. He even admitted that other presidents had brought it up before.

Those that hate him will most likely be upset to know Obama was saying these things behind closed doors when nobody could hear. Those that love him will hate to know he wasn't saying anything new and just upset a lot of people saying it so publicly. It took Russia to invade Ukraine to change European attitudes to Russia.

He was not able to seal the deal, either - the “art of the deal” was not a success in this event - that is what really happened. Here Trump, as in many other instances, was not able to effect the change he sought. Why? He did not understand the European Union nor Europe well enough to work together with them to alter the direction of such a pipeline. Trump’s calculus here is to publicly embarrass and strong arm the EU into changing their policy, that is easy to see, maybe it is too sophisticated to envision how a successful deal made - I will point to one: Germany ended the deal with Russia because Biden is much smarter and much more capable.
