America's allies in Europe are worried about Donald Trump's expected meeting next month with Vladimir Putin. Senior officials from four NATO member nations told me their worst fear is that Trump clashes with America's allies at the NATO summit in Brussels on July 11-12 and then shortly afterwards lavishes praise on Putin.

Why it matters: They say that would leave Europeans feeling abandoned and would advance Russia's goal of dividing European and transatlantic alliances.

The Polish senator and secretary of state Anna Maria Anders — a supporter of President Trump — told me:

"We are worried. Definitely worried," about the Trump-Putin summit. "Because you can't predict what is going to be said...Putin can be extremely charming and it's a question of how our president will react." (Yes, she referred to Trump as "our" president. More on that below.)

4. it was "intelligent" people who knowingly allowed this to happen. We are all paying that price

of their shear arrogance in not supporting/voting "the lesser of 2 evils" and in my book the jill stein voters at 1000x more responsible than any trump voter

13. It is a meeting of gangsters on how to crave up the world.

Even Ronald Reagan would be spinning in his grave.

5. America's enemies do Happy Dance as republicans welcome ACTS OF WAR russia

all 17 US Intelligence agencies agree russia has perpetrated ACTS OF WAR on the USA, and is continuing its ACTS OF WAR on the USA.

But Dirty Donny* and the republicans can't wait to piss on America and further weaken the nation by kissing Pooty Poot's evil ass. Sick/

This is the kind of foreign policy that military coups are made of.

9. The last thing Poland wants is Russia feeling more powerful

That's for sure.

10. "Our president"???

She called Donald Trump "our president"? I wish we could give him to Poland.

It is really scary that so much of the world is being dominated by right wing politics. It is like a contagious disease.

12. I caught that too.

Wonder why a Polish person would call tRump Poland's president. But, hey, who am I to question. I'll gift wrap tRump and then you can give him to them, okay?

[PatSeg]

15. And we can throw in

Ivanka, Junior, Eric, and Jared as a bonus!

[Maven]

11. Let's not pretend they aren't in constant contact already.

This is just their coming out party.

We are so fucked.

14. It is not a summit. It is a celibration that democracy is doomed.
