Yes, many consider Trump a clown, but still he is the president of a huge and powerful country with nuclear weapons. Therefore, it would be rash to consider it "parsley". Most likely, he says calmly what others have kept quiet about or considered it unethical to speak out loud. For example, US President Donald Trump has just said that Russia completely controls Germany, which pays Moscow billions for gas, and in this situation it is unfair that the United States still has to defend the FRG. The American president said this during a working breakfast with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
“Germany pays billions of dollars a year to Russia, and we are protecting this country from Russia. They are building a gas pipeline that aims to pay billions of dollars to the Russian treasury. I think this is completely unacceptable. Plus the former German Chancellor is working for a Russian gas company,”Trump said.
And now the most important thing, the basis of the modern world order, so to speak:
“Germany shouldn't have been allowed this. Germany is completely controlled by Russia, and tell me if this is acceptable,”the US President continued.
“Germany pays a little over 1% to NATO, whereas we pay a lot of money, and this has been going on for many years, and none of the previous presidents did anything in this regard. I think this is very unfair for our country and unfair for taxpayers, since Germany is a rich country,”added Trump.
Got the main idea? Not about gas and not about NATO. And about "Germany should not have been allowed this."
This is of course a private matter for Germany and the United States, but what kind of sovereignty can we talk about?
