Donald Trump Went Into Private Conversation With Putin And came Out Saying Montenegro Could Cause World War 3

Matthew Yglesias Retweeted Ben Adler

It’s weird that Donald Trump had a long private meeting with Vladimir Putin and suddenly emerged with a newfound interest in undermining US security guarantees to Montenegro.

I think it is not only plausible that Putin poisoned Montenegro to Trump in their private meeting, and Trump acted to please Putin over the subject later that night,  I think it is likely to have happened.

Why did Trump choose to parrot Putin on Montenegro?

The tiny Balkan country of scarcely more than 600,000 people is known mostly for its sunny Adriatic beaches - so why is Trump portraying it as a threat?

Where, then, does Trump’s bizarre belief that little Montenegro is a big problem for America come from? It may not be irrelevant that Moscow was very upset about that tiny Balkan country joining the Atlantic Alliance. Putin’s regime pulled out the stops to block the pro-Western government in Podgorica from entering NATO.

I love how the "leader" of the only country to invoke NATO's mutual defense contract is whining about a tiny NATO member which never has.

Projection-r-US.

A war starting in Montenegro is suspiciously similar to the start of World War One in 1914.

There is little doubt in my mind that Putin put this idea in Trumps head. Russia is obsessed that these countries are joining NATO...If Trump even knew where Montenegro was located on the world map, which I doubt, he would see that they have access to the sea, something that Russia craves more of...Russia has been meddling in their affairs for a while now. 

 Trump ... suggested Montenegro's "aggressive people" could spark a global conflict.

"By the way, they're very strong people — they're very aggressive people," Trump said. "They may get aggressive. And congratulations, you're in World War III."

This is a country of approx. 700,000 people and an army of 2,000. Are they going to attack Russia...How fucking stupid can one get. I'm sure that they are intent on starting WWIII. 

In WWII they were occupied by the Italians and a uprising caused the Nazi's to put troops there as they became part of the Third Front in Europe. Western front, Eastern Front and the Tito Front and fought the Nazi's. As part of the old Yugoslavia they were part of the confrontation between Tito and Yugoslavia and Stalin and Russia. And became part of the non-aligned movement of countries.  

It's interesting to note that this tiny country, among other tiny countries, has troops in Afghanistan and contribute monetarily to it. They had troops there long before they became part of NATO...They they put their money where there mouth is. 

When it comes to the likes of Tucker Carlson concerned about his son having to fight for Montenegro, I would ask him, ''but your alright with the sons of the Montenegrin people fighting for us?''  I would point out that he never served in the US Military and I doubt if any of his kids have either. Yes, the old wrap yourself in the flag and proclaim what a patriot you are.

WWI was started because of Serbia and Bosnia, hardly superpowers with the assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand of Bosnia by a Serbian, Gavrilo Princip.

“WORLD WAR I BEGINS

Convinced that Austria-Hungary was readying for war, the Serbian government ordered the Serbian army to mobilize, and appealed to Russia for assistance. On July 28, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, and the tenuous peace between Europe’s great powers quickly collapsed.

Within a week, Russia, Belgium, France, Great Britain and Serbia had lined up against Austria-Hungary and Germany, and World War I had begun.”

A couple of things livefree, the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand was from Hungry-Este, not Bosnia. 

Serbia at the start of WWI had a population of 1.6 million and had recently won wars with the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria and had the most powerful army in the Balkans. 

The history in of the Balkans, Hungry, Austria is quite complicated and confrontational. 

But, I fail to see what your comment has to do with the current situation in Montenegro. A few years back there was an attempt to assassinate the PM of Montenegro on the eve of their acceptence into NATO. Montenegro has claimed the coup was backed by Russia. 

It would seem if there are aggressors in the Balkans it would be the Russians, which have a great deal to lose as more of the countries in the area become part of NATO. IE: Croatia, Bosnia, Albania etc. If you review a map, you'll see that if the aforementioned countries do become part of NATO that the West will have NATO on all of the Adriatic sea and will border Greece which would be a continual wall in the area against Russian expansion.

No he didn't...This is his exact quote. 

Trump ... suggested Montenegro's "aggressive people" could spark a global conflict.

"By the way, they're very strong people — they're very aggressive people," Trump said. "They may get aggressive. And congratulations, you're in World War III."

That in no way confirms your comment on what he said.

Trump got his orders from Putin, that is why he insisted on being alone with Putin.  He didn't confront Putin with ANYTHING.  They are both liars, so it really doesn't matter what either say, we can see with our own eyes how it went down.  Trump has cowered before Putin every single time.  He is deferential every time.  He never takes the side of the US, he always takes Putin's side.  And a few pathetic attempts at 'corrections' don't count, its pure gaslighting.  Trump is Putin's poodle and the world saw it in its glory Monday.  Don't try to pretend Trump would ever say the word 'Montenegro' unless Putin told him to.

The thing is, what I said is far more likely than what Trump and Putin are saying.  Logical deduction, knowing the history of both and observing words and deeds over time.   Are you actually trying to get us to believe what two liars say?  lol.

If your god is omniscient and omnipotent then why did he create Lucifer?  Why do other religions exist?

The Lucifer story is one that should give anyone pause.   An omnipotent God who cannot control the epitome of evil?   No, wait, livefreeordie says that God will 'one day' do away with Lucifer.   So God wants Lucifer to be around now.    

So many basic contradictions  ...  how can anyone accept the Bible as divine?

Am completely flummoxed that you all missed this.

2.  The last five letters in the spelling of the country in question here, forced an immediate Pavlonian response in 'the Trump' of ( Obama Reaction Syndrome. )

3.  There it is.  There you have it.  Read em' and weep, suckers.

The Government of Montenegro, taking into account the interest of numerous domestic and foreign media to comment on yesterday's statement by US President Donald Trump given in an interview with TV FOX, adopted at today's 86th Cabinet session the following stance:

Montenegro is proud of its history and tradition and peaceful politics that led to the position of a stabilising state in the region and the only state in which the war didn't rage during disintegration of the former Yugoslavia.

The country that has hosted and protected 120,000 affected people and families.

The country that was the first in Europe to resist the Fascism, and today as a new NATO member and a candidate for the EU membership it contributes to peace and stability not only on the European continent but worldwide, along with US soldiers in Afghanistan.

We build friendships, and we have not lost single one, and at the same time we are able to boldly and defensively protect and defend our own national interests.

In today's world, it does not matter how big or small you are, but to what extent you cherish the values of freedom, solidarity and democracy.

Therefore, the friendship and the alliance of Montenegro and the United States of America is strong and permanent.

Regardless of all of this.  I actually agree we shouldn't be worried about sending US citizens to die for any country.  Especially considering how many talk shit about US imperialism and then rely on the US to protect them.  They can't even be bothered to contribute more money to the defense fund while American citizens are expected to die tonorotect them.  Yet they want to highlight the 24 people they sent to Iraq that never left the base as reciprocal support?  Go fuck yourself.  Anyone who served knows the countries that had a handful of soldiers on base that never did anything.  Canada, Australia, and the U.K. did a little at least
