A quick final thought on the NATO summit. Does anyone here in Europe really believe that Donald Trump is stupid enough to fall for this ridiculous shitshow? Does anyone really believe that even one country is able to divert 5% of its GDP to defense spending while budgets are collapsing, the social crisis is worsening and the recession is deepening?
The fact that these political figures have crawled around Trump only shows how urgently the Europeans, and the EU is almost identical to NATO, now need the Americans to keep their projects going (think of Project Ukraine).
With the best will in the world, I can't imagine that Donald Trump would let these people get away with such a ridiculous announcement and such promises. But they are acting according to the familiar pattern and according to the motto: we'll get through the few years of Trump somehow. Then we'll install our people again.
That won't work this time.
