I generally despise Trump, but here he looks like a visionary and the German diplomats look like morons (in hindsight, at least).
I'm still reeling with what I just watched....

What's the explanation for this?
I mean, surely the explanation isn't that Trump is secretly a well informed and thoughtful person?
To be fully honest - I can relate to this. During my college years, I ate a full-size burger, potato fries, and soda every day for lunch for ~2 years. I never got fat and retained a healthy BMI, never crossing 200lbs despite being a 6'2" male - even though I almost never exercised and spent almost all day sitting working in the Math Lab. I did skip breakfast regularly so maybe that had something to do with it. My family on seeing the portion size (particularly the potato fries - think 3x a McDonalds large fries) thought it must be my brain consuming those calories or something.

What I tell people is that my powerful brain needs a lot of calories.

Finland joining NATO is absolutely threatening to Russia. Not far from the border, alongside it, is the only railway to Murmansk and the Kola peninsula, which is of prime importance to Russia.
Scaring Finland into joining NATO after their long held policy of neutrality was an incredibly counterproductive strategy for Moscow.
As said above, all nations sorrounding Russia that have joined NATO, have done so because they were and are afraid of Russia.
He's just repeating Russian propaganda.
Russia has been saying "if Finland joins NATO, there will be consequences" since forever. When Finland actually joins Russia says "yeah no problem it's not really a threat". This is to not lose face, _obviously_, but all these parrots all of a sudden go "oh yeah no problem, you don't have to be a military analyst to see it's not a threat". They're just parrots.

Are they even the underdog, though?
This is the definition I'm using
> 1 : a loser or predicted loser in a struggle or contest
I think it fits. Russia loses a lot.
