That sounds like what someone may say during negotiations with the US for a better deal. If that’s his goal he should read “The Art of the Deal” before attempting to negotiate again.

If he’s serious, he’s just a moron. I’m putting my money on this explanation.

Macron giving the media just another little something to crucify Trump over. He realizes how the headlines will make it look. Trump is going insane...past time to take Trump down for the sake of the country.

Once again, President Donald J Trump is right. He called all of them out during their last get together, saying how they all ran their mouths about how evil Russia is, while buying Russia’s gas.

I wonder if he get’s tired of being right and the only adult in the room.

Will countries like Poland trust Macron and Putin for their security?

Why should they trust us? Poland and the Baltic States are better off seeing to their own defense.

I think Poland learned their lesson about depending on the Brits and the French in 1939.

“We can’t trust America to protect us from Russia. Hey, Russia, would you come protect us?”

Really smart move there, Macron. Your mom come up with that one?

“I thought the whole idea of the EU, NATO, et al was protection FROM Russia.”

Just what I was going to post.

That would be like the hens asking the fox for protection.

Who exactly is NATO defending Europe from if Russia is considered a better option as a partner than the US? Seems that entangling alliance has officially jumped the shark.

Why should we continue to pay to protect countries who willingly let the enemy into their country?

And then bow down to them and change the laws to protect them?

Europe has fallen. War will come to them again soon.

Poland tried relying on France (and Britain) for her security once. And once was enough.

They jumped the shark when they let Turkey join.

And then when they bombed Serbia.

"Europe can no longer rely on the US to provide its security."

You got that right, Jack. The US is the world's largest debtor nation. We can't afford to pay for Europe's security. It is time for them to pay their fair share or succumb to Russia.

And let's not get started on the Czechs.
