@randahl In this case, I do think this is simply because Merz dissed Trump in an interview, you don't need Putin for Trump to throw random tantrums...

@randahl Thus military training last week in France, which is absolutely outrageous but clearly unavoidable in this context.
@randahl It would be worrying if Donnie had any influence on Putin's policies. Trump is just another one of Putin's puppets (laufbursche- GER). Donnie gets his coffee and kisses Putin's backside. Donnie is NOT a power player. He's a dupe.
@randahl Ah, but, given that we don't know for sure whose side the USA will be on if/when Russia expands its war in Europe, it's surely safer for the defence of Europe to get the US troops out.
@randahl Putin is Trump's main Grima Wormtongue. Trump has many of them but Putin has always had the strongest whisper in his ear.
@randahl Putin's got his balls in a vise
