They may have 'sided' with the Nazis in WWII, but that was in self defense against Stalin and the USSR.

They know and are always wary of what Russia is up to.

I feel sorry for Finland, Sweden and Norway. Putin wants war with their countries and slaughter their people like they have done with Ukraine and Crimea.

After all these leaders have a Trump one-on-one meeting, I wonder if they get together for shits and giggles and compare notes of what their experiences were like standing on stage in front of the world press observing a bona-fide World Class Trump melt-down.

Centuries from now the replacement for Alex Trebek on Jeopardy will probably have a question about "what president wanted an alligator filled moat and a sharp pointy flesh-tearing top to a border fence?"

And people will know and remember him and his antics because this guy is such a world class a**hole today.
