European Council President Donald Tusk told U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday to stop berating NATO allies over military investment levels ahead of what is expected to be a fraught alliance summit. […]

“Dear America, appreciate your allies, after all you don’t have that many,” Tusk, a former Polish prime minister, said after a signing statement on more cooperation between the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

As European Council president, Tusk serves as the chairman when EU leaders meet at summits.

Even while in the air, Trump kept up the attack. He said in a Twitter post that a trade deficit with the European Union “makes it impossible for our farmers and workers and companies to do business in Europe … and then they want us to happily defend them through NATO, and nicely pay for it. Just doesn’t work!” …

Bears repeating.

We note that Mr. Tusk’s remarks were not in German.

Smug back-talk from the current EU jerkwater. Trump is making inroads with bilateral diplomacy that will end up undermining the totalitarian ideals of the EU bureaucrats.

Ciphers like this Tusk fellow will be left with the empty husk of a failed and dying experiment in futility.

Hey Tusk, “go conduct an arial attempt at fornication with a rotating pastry!”

They need us more than we need them. Maybe they need to be reminded of that.

Yeah. Next time one of them is attacked, we’ll let them handle it themselves.

France has mastered the skill of marching backwards, that’ll come in handy.

Partisan Media Shill alert -- our President said that the EU maintains trade barriers.

Tusk is a major league idiot, who talks out of his backside.

He specialises in pissing people off and then wonders why everyone hates the EU Commission.

Let’s keep in mind that this group of EU-oriented USA haters now includes a new member, the Vatican. This pope has blamed the US for every world “problem” including poverty, AGW, immigration, income “inequality,” private property, disease, etc. Not in vague terms either, but pointed, irrational, vitriolic talks by him and his men. He advocates marxist revolution by violence. Do not underestimate his influence, the Church has consciously joined the global left.

"'Dear America, appreciate your allies, after all you don’t have that many,' Tusk, a former Polish prime minister, said..."

That's not what the headline says. Tusk made a very disrespectful comment there. Most Europeans don't have any real allies and continue to indulge in unhealthy social aberrations and backbiting each other. It looks like we'll be sitting out yet another European domino spectacle. Maybe we'll stay out of the next one longer to allow them more time to better retain their lesson.

There are published long lists of slurs that average Europeans use against each other. They only hate us more than they hate each other. Too many people go on European vacations to pay those falsely smiling faces and come back with a false impression. There are a few in each of some countries who like us but only a few. The rest have been brainwashed by their globalist investors, who sponsor the brainwashing through their hideous media outlets. Our media outlets are so errant, because the heads of those have been sucking up to foreign interests for generations.

Any European country that had a hand in or knowledge of Spygate is NOT an ally.
