US President Donald Trump gave NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg a tongue lashing on NATO's failure to crank up its defense spending, while calling out Germany for its complete dependance on Russian oil and gas.
Check out the video for the best parts of Trump's epic take down of Stoltenberg (and Merkel).
Of course Trump is preparing the way for his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, setting up some negotiating points for public consumption, before the two leaders face off in Helsinki on July 16th.
Trump however is also signaling his disdain for the Brussels technocrats running NATO, a military alliance with no purpose or point for existence. Trump is obviously displaying his lack of patience with NATO's decades of freeloading, while also calling out Germany's two-faced hypocrisy...feeding off the US taxpayer to protect them against an 'invading Russia', while at the same time outsourcing its entire energy infrastructure to Russia.
POTUS Trump called Germany a hostage of Russia, criticizing the bloc members that approved the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Europe.
Trump blasted Stoltenberg during a working breakfast...
"Germany is captive of Russia because it is getting so much of its energy from Russia. They pay billions of dollars to Russia and we have to defend them against Russia."
This is a defense and energy shake down from Trump towards NATO, while at the same time laying the groundwork for a meeting with Putin, which will possibly see European energy and NATO discussed as perhaps some kind of grand bargain between the two leaders...because today, during his NATO breakfast, Trump just exposed how weak, inept, and corrupt NATO has become.
