This report made me vomit :-

one leader after another took the floor in a closed-door meeting to praise [Krasnov] for his leadership and his recent attack on Iran

Trump embraces NATO security alliance after years of attacks

THE HAGUE — President Donald Trump issued a full-throated endorsement of NATO and its defense mission after a summit of alliance leaders Wednesday, in his most forceful backing of a group he once threatened to abandon.

“These people really love their countries,” Trump told reporters. “It’s not a rip-off, and we’re here to help them.”

Trump’s turnaround Wednesday was the payoff of a major effort by other NATO members to flatter him. Trump stayed overnight in a royal palace, received fawning messages from NATO’s secretary general and watched as one leader after another took the floor in a closed-door meeting to praise him for his leadership and his recent attack on Iran. At a summit tailor-made to please the U.S. president, Trump celebrated dual triumphs on Iran and the alliance’s agreement to boost military outlays to levels that many other members found outlandish eight years ago.

“I watched the heads of these countries get up, and the love and the passion that they showed for their country was unbelievable. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Trump told reporters after the meetings. “It was great. And I left here differently. I left here saying that these people really love their countries. It’s not a rip-off, and we’re here to help them protect their country.”

He must prove it each and repeatedly every day. Sometimes I pretend to be a sociologist and quietly observe. Taking notes and taking note not to disturb the participants. Disengage yet I observe, make notes and collect data.
