Germany will be watching keenly when the mercurial US president meets his Russian counterpart on Monday. Germans are concerned on three counts: NATO, Crimea and the Nord Stream gas pipelines.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, also called the North Atlantic Alliance, is an intergovernmental military alliance between 29 North American and European countries. NATO’s purpose is to guarantee the freedom and security of its members through political and military means.
Trump has sought to use at least the implicit threat of the United States scaling back its military presence in Europe to pressure NATO members to spend more on defense.
If President Trump, as is to be feared on the basis of his statements, recognizes Crimea as Russian, he will be selling out not only the rights of Ukraine but also the security and sovereignty of states in Europe.
Germans want Trump to act as a leading NATO member and not as a free agent when he sits down with Putin.
"I hope that Trump's allies at the NATO summit showed him some lines he shouldn't cross in his relations with Russia," Rebecca Harms, a Green member of the European Parliament and a leading Putin critic, told Deutsche Welle.
Putin wants to negotiate its relationship with the West and play a new role in European security, and it has an interest in America withdrawing from Europe." That's something that Berlin does not want to see happen.
GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

This your pics is irritating oooooooo. Are you promoting homosexuality because is one thing clearly depicted in the pics ?

@Christian; I have one question for you. Did you take time to read the post? If so, then you will know the reason for the photo. In western world, pic like this is relative depending on what it is used for. In this case , it means , Donald Trump "political romance " with Vladimir Putin
Endee Saint Mark
I know it's will one day come to this extent . He can't hide forever that he don't have connection with Putin

I read it. But this pics carries a deeper message aside from just the surface write-up. There are other non irritating ways to communicate the closeness btw Trump and Putin other than this homosexual posture.
For example:
their both hands wrapped around each others shoulder and widely laughing could have effectively passed your message too.
An adult male KISSING another adult male mouth to mouth in this modern days is viewed as a 'no no no' because images are powerful.
