Given the importance of America’s global alliances, it is always unnerving when President Trump crashes into the diplomatic arena like the proverbial bull in the china shop. Last July, for example, he tore into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization at a press conference with its secretary-general, Jens Stoltenberg.
Mr. Trump blasted the “delinquent spending” of most of NATO’s 29 other partners, in that they had failed to meet the agreed-upon 2 percent threshold of their economic output for defense. He also criticized Germany’s $11 billion pipeline with Russia, the Nord Stream 2, noting that “we’re supposed to be guarding against Russia and Germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to Russia.”
On these issues, though, he was not far out of line with past presidents. For a long time, the United States has been pressuring NATO nations to bear a greater share of the burden of their own defense. These are not the poor, war-ravaged nations of Europe that existed in the wake of World War II. They have dynamic modern economies, and plow resources into social services for their citizens while depending heavily on U.S. taxpayers for their protection.
George W. Bush pursued this issue at the 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest. Barack Obama did so at the 2014 summit in Brussels. Finally, it seems, the message is being heard.
By the end of next year, NATO will reportedly be contributing an additional $100 billion toward its defense, instead of breaking into America’s piggy bank.
Our NATO partners, including Germany, France and the United Kingdom, are wealthy nations. They can easily afford the 2 percent threshold, and it’s about time they met their financial obligations.
Mr. Stoltenberg recently observed, “we see some real money and some real results. And we see that the clear message from President Donald Trump is having an impact.”
Characteristically, Mr. Trump has already boasted about this on Twitter, and he may deserve to take a bow. But it remains troubling that he periodically questions the continued usefulness of NATO. Though the organization was created to counterbalance a superpower that no longer exists, the Soviet Union, America benefits from such alliances, in projecting greater influence in the world.
Meanwhile, the German-Russian economic relationship is becoming troubling. Germany has made a deal with Russia for the energy it desperately needs, through a pipeline that will permit Russia to cut off supplies to Eastern Europe without cutting off Western Europe. The last thing our NATO allies should be doing is making Russia stronger and expanding its strategic ability to threaten and undermine neighboring free nations.
Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, recently sent out a stern letter to some German companies involved in the construction of the pipeline. He warned that these companies could eventually face sanctions through the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act if they continued building Nord Stream 2.
That is the most strongly worded reaction to this controversial project to date.
If NATO is going to succeed, its partners must not only pay their fair share, but also check Germany’s inclination to become more dependent on Russia. A stronger and more belligerent Russia is hardly in NATO’s interest.
We hope America succeeds in pressuring Germany to rethink this relationship.

INDIANAPOLIS - The last time I was with Dan Coats, we had breakfast at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. He looked and sounded like a man ready to retire and enjoy his grandkids. He had been a public servant since 1980, his career coursing through the U.S. House, Senate and as ambassador to Germany, taking that post just hours before the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
Coats was a late supporter of Donald Trump. He and his wife, former Republican National Committeewoman Marsha Coats, had concerns about candidate Trump. Marsha wrote Trump a letter, hand-delivered by her husband, and at a subsequent appearance in Fort Wayne, Trump "sought her out,” the senator said. “He said, ‘Marsha, I will not let you down.” This Donald Trump listened and asked questions.

But Coats understood the political attraction of Trump, in awe that he could draw 20,000 people to an arena. As for Trump's style, Coats told him, “If you change your speech, you might draw 250 people. I think you really need to be Donald Trump, but what I see now is a Donald Trump who listens and asks questions.”
Coats didn't retire at the end of 2016. By appeal from Vice President-elect Mike Pence, Coats became director of National Intelligence. He is guardian of the American empire, boss to spies and spooks, assessor of the plethora of threats we face and our ardent defender.
He has had a tormented relationship with President Trump, most conspicuously coming to a head in Helsinki last July, when Trump met with Russian President Putin alone for two hours. Asked if he believed U.S. intelligence services or Putin over whether the Kremlin assaulted the 2016 U.S. election. Trump responded, “My people came to me, Dan Coats and others, they said they think it’s Russia. I have Putin, he just said it’s not Russia. I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be. I have great confidence in my intelligence people. But I will tell you President Putin was extremely strong in his denial.”
Appearing before a congressional hearing Tuesday with FBI Director Christopher Wray and CIA Director Gina Haspel to assess threats facing the United States, U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden asked Coats if knew what Trump and Putin talked about. “This is a sensitive issue and an issue we ought to talk about this afternoon and discuss in a closed session,” Coats responded.
When Coats testified about the threats facing America, he, Wray and Haspel contradicted Trump on an array of fronts. The president has said that North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat, ISIS has been defeated, and Iran is defying its nuclear agreement.
What were Coats' assessments?
"We assess that foreign actors will view the 2020 US elections as an opportunity to advance their interests,” Coats said of Russia. “We expect Russia will continue to wage its information war against democracies and to use social media to attempt to divide our societies. The Kremlin has aligned Russia with repressive regimes in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and Venezuela, and Moscow’s relationship with Beijing is closer than it has been in many decades."
Has ISIS been defeated? "Remaining pockets of ISIS and opposition fighters will continue to stoke violence," Coats said. "The conflicts in Iraq and Syria have generated a large pool of skilled and battle-hardened fighters who remain dispersed throughout the region."
Is North Korea no longer a nuclear threat? "We currently assess that North Korea will seek to retain its WMD capabilities and is unlikely to completely give up its nuclear weapons and production capabilities, because its leaders ultimately view nuclear weapons as critical to regime survival," Coats said.
Is Iran in violation of the denuclearization accords? Coats explained, "We do not believe Iran is currently undertaking the key activities we judge necessary to produce a nuclear device.”
For those of you who wonder what the big deal is with the weird and troubling Trump/Putin relationship, hours after Coats testified, the Financial Times reported the two met alone (with just a Russian translator) at the G20 Summit in Buenos Aires with video emerging of the two hand signaling each other at dinner.
Coats offered this kicker: "We assess North Korea, Russia, Syria, and ISIS have all used chemical weapons over the past two years, which threatens international norms and may portend future use."
And about that “emergency” of the “caravan” in Mexico, Coats did not describe a dire threat as Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have. “High crime rates and weak job markets will continue to spur U.S.-bound migrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras,” is how Coats put it.
Following his testimony, Trump tweeted, "The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran. They are wrong! Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school!""
My final thought? Dan Coats is anything but passive and naive. He is learned, connected and has a firm grip on the dangerous world that surrounds us and, potentially, within us. I’ll repeat what I said in a column last July: We should all be thankful Dan Coats is where he's at and pray that he stays there for the next two years.

"Russia influence in Eastern Europe" - Google News
It’s rarely a good sign on Twitter when you tweet something and it ends up getting more comments than retweets. It generally means that people are far more interested in telling you how you got it wrong than in how you got it right. That brings us to Donald Trump’s tweet today about Black History Month, which didn’t exactly work out well for him.
Donald Trump posted this tweet: “National African American History Month is an occasion to rediscover the enduring stories of African Americans and the gifts of freedom, purpose, and opportunity they have bestowed on future generations.” That would have been fine and dandy if it had been coming from a politician who wasn’t a blatant racist. But Trump is the most notorious racist of his generation.
Respondents were quick to pile on, pointing out that Donald Trump’s approval rating among African Americans is around three percent. Others pointed to Trump’s support for openly racist Congressman Steve King, Trump’s vocal support for the racists in Charlottesville, and Trump’s numerous other past and present racist and bigoted episodes.
Donald Trump ended up with around eleven thousand retweets but thirteen thousand comments on his tweet, which means that his tweet went over particularly poorly. Then again, Trump continues to be more and more poorly received in general as his corruption, racism, and general awfulness continue to further come to light.

M. N.: The New Abwehr enjoys and employs the deep and intimate connections with the criminal Underworld which go back to the early 1920-s, the conditions after the Germany's defeat in the WW1 and the resulting "Restrictions" (I almost typed "Sanctions") which made the symbiotic and sometimes parasitic relations with Police and Criminals the matter of survival for the Abwehr which based itself at that time at the Military Police Stations. Money Laundering is another, related sub-specialty which was a matter of survival and necessity at that time, and the Abwehr under Canaris (which really is the Abwehr we are talking about) made both areas the traditional historical "fields of excellence". Money Laundering , from Deutsche Bank to Chabad dealers to Oligarchs, e.g. Lev Leviev and others, and most notably by our pretty laundry girls and boys from the Trump-Kushner Crime Family , was and is one of the truly heart felt activities for the Abwehr, and...
