BERLIN — German political leaders have reacted with alarm to U.S. President Donald Trump’s bombshell announcement that his administration will conduct peace negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the head of European leaders.

    America is an enemy to its former allies including its citizens who chose this and continue to allow it.

        One country has a repressed supporting public and another is a repressive supporting public.

        Americans need to STFU about this. We know who you are now. USA has no honour and if push came to shove we know god damn well you won’t have our backs. The US has become a greedy country that doesn’t care about anything other than money. There is no honour in the American leadership and there’s no honour in the people that swallow their propaganda.

        I have two family members who have PTSD from Afghanistan. The only reason they were there was because the US, our ally, was attacked on 9/11. We’re the people that honour alliances with blood, while greedy Americans only talk about money. You should be ashamed of what you’ve become.

    More “usual type” euro politicians will waddle over to trump to try to kiss his ass for military protection.

    That time is over. Dump clearly signalled his intent to make Europe spend more on defense because he’s not going to protect them anymore.

    Why the fuck are they trying to beg america then? They don’t understand the message that’s clear as day?

    “Volodomir, yeah hi, I spoke to Vlad, great guy, amazing, so smart, Vlad tells me, and he’s being really reasonable here, so smart, the smartest man Russia, not as smart as me but definitely a high IQ, Vlad says he’s still got all the files I sent him in 2018 and he has the video of me getting showered in sweet delicious golden water from one of his favourite girlfriends, and that his social media team is very good, so good, the best in the world, mine are better, but his are very good, they have these farms, state of the art, with cows and chickens, but also phones and smart guys and they can post so quickly, lots of guys, lots of phones. So anyway, Vlad says Ukraine is part of Russia and that he’s doing a great job looking after it and I think you need to let him do his job. If you’re going to keep pretending Ukraine isn’t Russia then the US is going to have to give Vlad a hand with this problem.”
