NATO Summit in Brussels: Can It Satisfy Trump Before His Meeting with Putin?

In the conditions of the unleashed US trade war with the EU, Europeans are most afraid of the impulsiveness and unpredictability of Donald Trump, which may manifest during his summit with Vladimir Putin, especially if he would not be satisfied with the results of the NATO summit.

NATO and the Imaginary Russian Threat

NATO believes that we are aggressive, we consider them aggressors. We have much more historical reasons to think so. It is enough to recall the devastating invasions of the Poles during the "Time of Troubles", the French invasion in 1812, and finally the Germans invasion during the Second World War.

Will the ‘Russian Trace’ Lead to Trump’s Impeachment?

Having inflated the scandal around the “Russian trace” in the 2016 presidential election, the Americans have driven themselves into a political and psychological impasse, from which they will have to get out by themselves, writes Valdai Club expert Sergei Samuilov. Only then will Trump get a certain freedom of action toward Russia and the opportunity to begin some kind of constructive interaction with Moscow.
