He initially praised Trump when the war started.

If this is the leadership NATO has, don’t expect them to stand up to Trump in any way. It will be up to individual nations to tell Trump to fuck off. I have more confidence in Macron. He’s carving out a separate path.

Newsom is right. These people should get the knee pads.
