Vice President Mike Pence är på säkerhetskonferensen i München, i sitt tal till dom europeiska ledarna så han går hårdare fram än vad Secretary of Defence James Mattis gjorde: 
"On his first visit to Europe since taking office, Mike Pence said “some of our largest allies do not have a credible path” towards paying their share of Nato’s financial burden. Although he did not name individual countries, his targets included Germany, France and Italy. “The time has come to do more,” he said."
"Pence said that while the US was bound by Nato’s article five– an attack on one member would be an attack on all – he also reminded the audience that article three contained a commitment to sharing the financial burden, echoing Trump’s warning last year that he did not feel bound to come to the defence of countries that did not pay their share.
Pence peppered his speech with regular references to Trump, stressing that he was delivering messages from the president."

Vice President Pence @VP
Peace only comes through strength.
@POTUS believes we must be strong, able to confront all who would threaten our freedom & way of life.
Vice President Pence @VP
Know this: The US will continue to hold Russia accountable, even as we search for new common ground, which @POTUS believes can be found.
Vice President Pence @VP
We must hold Russia accountable and demand that they honor the Minsk Agreements, beginning by de-escalating the violence in eastern Ukraine.
Vice President Pence @VP
Under @POTUS, the US will remain committed to ensuring Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon capable of threatening our countries or allies.
Vice President Pence @VP
As @POTUS has made clear, the US will fight tirelessly to crush these enemies & consign them to the ash-heap of history, where they belong.
Det ser väldigt bra ut!
Edit: Rysslands President Vladimir Putin har precis skrivit en ny EO:

Säga vad man vill om Trump men han har faktiskt rätt i att NATO-länderna måste uppfylla sina åtaganden vad gäller att finansiera sitt försvar. Självfallet bör också Sverige i egenskap av NATO-partner sträva efter att uppfylla dessa krav.
Bra att Pence m.fl. visar en sund hållning till Ryssland.
Vad gäller Putins godkännande av de illegala ID-korten i Donbass, så är det ju inget som förvånar. Donetsk och Luhansk med omnejd är ju redan ryska protektorat.

Japp. Det är mycket smart om man vill krossa EU. Många EU-länder har redan svårt att ha en balanserad budget.http://www.debtclocks.eu/eu-ranking-budget-surplus-deficit-in-percent-of-gdp.html
Att uppfylla NATO-kraven blir inte så lätt heller. Det kommer därför att ge vind i seglen till andra EU:s populistiska partier. Tycker du inte det? (Jag talar nu inte om Östeuropa).

A week before Michael T. Flynn resigned as national security adviser, a sealed proposal was hand-delivered to his office, outlining a way for President Trump to lift sanctions against Russia.
Mr. Flynn is gone, having been caught lying about his own discussion of sanctions with the Russian ambassador. But the proposal, a peace plan for Ukraine and Russia, remains, along with those pushing it: Michael D. Cohen, the president’s personal lawyer, who delivered the document; Felix H. Sater, a business associate who helped Mr. Trump scout deals in Russia; and a Ukrainian lawmaker trying to rise in a political opposition movement shaped in part by Mr. Trump’s former campaign manager Paul D. Manafort.

Dessutom kommer Trump att stoppa kriget i Syrien och omintetgöra ISIS
But given Mr. Trump’s praise for Mr. Putin, John Herbst, a former American ambassador to Ukraine, said he feared the new president might be too eager to mend relations with Russia at Ukraine’s expense — potentially with a plan like Mr. Artemenko’s.

Varför länka en artikel när inget av det du säger har stöd i artikeln?
Det är naturligt att detta bara gör FBI ännu mera misstänksamma mot denne Cohen, och ingenstans står det något om att administrationen ens har tänkt att fundera kring denna plan?
Att hejvilt bara kasta ur sig fraser om att Trump kommer göra si eller så utan något som helst stöd är ju lika idiotiskt vilken sida som än gör det, håller du inte med?
Citat:
Jo, en "expert" John Herbst, a former American ambassador to Ukraine är rädd att Trump kommer att godkänna något liknande. Jag instämmer i hans analys

Jag tror inte att vem som helst kan skicka planer till Flynn. De fick nog någon sorts godkänd och inriktning

Jag har upprepade gånger paraderat media inställning till Obama. Och han fick Nobelpriset! Jag tycker att det är extremt roligt att kalla Trump fredsmäklare. Speciellt eftersom han sannolikt kommer att bli en.
