Who called who?
Russia, Russia, Russia?
What did they discuss? Talking to the aggressor in Ukraine just before his NATO meeting?
It's become old news. He lied about Russia in the beginning and he's still lying about Russia.
I suspect we will hear him spouting a Russian talking point in the next day or two?
On top of all our problems, we have a Russian agent in the White House.
When first you practice to deceive...

(16,136 posts)"The United States spends more money on NATO than any other country, by far, to protect them, without getting any benefit from so doing," he posted on social media on July 2, adding, "Ridiculous!"
I think it's reasonable to conclude they discussed how to advance one of Putin's highest priorities, which is the dissolution of NATO, or at least US separation from it.
How many NATO leaders did Trump have long meetings with prior to this NATO summit? Any?
Prior to any high level international meeting, it makes sense to have prior discussions to ensure success in advancing common goals. First foreign service functionaries, then heads of state.
Seriously, did Trump or his State Dept. have any prior meetings or discussions with our allied counterparts to advance our mutual agenda?
Was Putin the only head of state he talked to, who happens to lead the adversarial nation that posed the threat for which the NATO alliance was created in the first place?
If the transcript from that 90 minute conversation was known, would it reveal treason?

One of my Grannys daily aspirations.
She taught me to be a good Democrat.
She had a million one-liners, and I hear them all day in my mind.
Im so glad she doesnt have to watch what has happened to America.
