To Belgium first for a confab with NATO allies, including Merkel. Then, on to the UK for a meeting with May, and the queen while the conservatives there are in peril. Finally off to Moscow with a meeting with Putin. He's been joking that maybe the Russian part of the trip will be the easiest segment. I can say - he might be right.
Agenda:
1) Tell NATO to pay up, now. The lagging payers say they should be able to meet commitments by 2024. Pretty sure Trump is going to say; '2019 or we walk'.
2) Advise May to get off the pot on Brexit. Her base is now pissed because what they VOTED FOR back in 2016 is still not even close to implementation 2 years later.
3) Try to get Putin to leave the satellites alone. I think this is a waste of time really. Putin has no danger to his unlimited power in Russia, and he'll do whatever he wants. I'd just be pleasant, and tell Putin that there will be no changes in NATO despite the non-payment(lie).
What will be success, and what would be failure? I don't think he's going to get anything out of NATO. I think he'll re-invigorate May, and I think he'll just have a nice chat with Putin, and no changes all around. Not sure if this is success. I agree with him strongly on the funding of NATO. In fact, I think it's long overdue.

NATO leader:
Accusing the president of criticising Europe "almost daily", Mr Tusk said the EU spent more than Russia on defence and as much as China.
"Dear America, appreciate your allies, after all you don't have that many."
This kind of shit makes me furious. I have been a tiny part of NATO in the past. Makes me want to take my ball and go home.

NATO is like the femi-nazis and free birth control. They think they are entitled to our support, our military protection and our money, while doing squat to help themselves.

As is the United Nations. The world's welfare queens. Let's give them all Obama phones, and be done with it.
