Nato leaders have informally agreed not to mention the football World Cup to Donald Trump for fear of irritating the US president at a crucial time for the military alliance.

In the first open acknowledgment of the strategy, the Belgian prime minister, Bart De Wever, told reporters in Ankara he would not be discussing his country’s 4-1 win over the US earlier this week.
Look, can everyone please do their best not to annoy the bumbling pedophile? Thank you - your cooperation is appreciated.
If people have to use kid gkoves with you it is because you have the fortitude of a child.
Why? Why not irritate the heck out of him? If you can make him crack, do it ASAP.
That deranged child diddler is in charge of the the world’s greatest nuclear / military superpower. Anything can happen with him with a literal press of a button
I’d rock his cradle until he tries to. Using that excuse as a lever against his allies would be a great new low for his supporters to think about. Spell it all out donny chump.
I think they should be subtle about it.
“Do you want a soda Mr Trump? I have 1-4 you here”.
He’s too stupid for word play
The way Macron and the others lick Trump’s feet is pathetic.
Beyond embarrassing.
to the point where i actually loled at this post. i hate it
If they irritate him it might raise his blood pressure and that’s bad for someone so fucking old. Do it
Do it. Do it. Do it!
I double dog dare ya
There’s no way he isn’t on blood pressure medication, maybe 2 or 3 different ones.
Narrowly Avoiding Tantrums Organization
And they won’t mention 12 year old girls as that might get him too excited.
Why are all the world’s leaders kissing his ass? Why doesn’t anyone have the balls to tell him no, he’s an idiot?
He is the commander-in-chief of the world’s most advanced military and second largest nuclear stockpile on Earth. Despite the United States’ economic woes, he also wields great influence over a massive trade partner with the EU.
Until the Europeans can successfully deleverage most of their integration with the United States military and economy, the pragmatic thing to do is only pick fights where it’s absolutely necessary.
Personally, for what it’s worth, I wouldn’t want to cede one millimeter of proverbial ground to what is clearly the worst president of all time. However, I understand the tactical decision being made.
Nuclear bombs.
Endless military bases sprinkled around Europe.
The capability for dealing economic damage.
A cabinet of sycophants.
A cult-like following.
Why antagonize him while it’s much easier to appeal to him and make him sign stupid deals in your favor he wil call victories?
What good are deals that he’s going to tear up and ignore next week?
If you piss him off, you get an instant tariff or “stop all relations with …” (see Spain). Agreements may not hold well, but at least you have a default way of working when he’s not having a tantrum.
They all have the same billionaire handlers.
They are treating him like you would treat a dementia patient.
That fits
Ah, yes, appeasement. Why was that never tried before?
Well you don’t hear about all the times it prevented a world war
Indeed, just the specific time when it directly enabled one
Ironically, it actually did its job pre WWII.
Chamberlain realised he had fucked up. Britain didn’t have the forces to actually resist the Nazis. Appeasement was to buy them time to rearm. When the war actually started, Chamberlain fell on his proverbial sword, to give Churchill a clean slate and a functional military to work with.
It’s Europe. Just switch to another language. Hell, just call it football and he won’t know.
Bunch of fucking cowards.
Pussies. Given the opportunity I’d piss him off every chance I had.
As enticing as that sounds, youre seriously putting peoples lives at risk to do so.
the world has to learn to do without the US sooner or later. might as well be sooner.
if they’re planning on that, then I agree with the play. if they’re not planning on that and want to continue with the US in as big a role as previously, then fuck 'em.
of course, I don’t know which it is. but it’s obviously the right play to make meaningless moves to appease him.
That’s a him problem not a me problem. Also perhaps that would help getting him impeached
You mean that’s a the people at risk problem
Nah, I’m a middle aged white straight overweight male. What minority is he going to punish? Magats? I say bring it on then.
white straight male
So basically one of the last people to feel it if he DOES punish people.
Probably.
He’s already hurting people. It’s beyond time to start pissing him off. And stop stroking his fragile ego
