3. Makes me nervous....

I hope he's not planning to announce pulling out of NATO. Maybe that's what that 2 hour phone call with Putin was about on Saturday.

14. Fresh off his 90 minute call with his Kremlin advisor.

Its like having Putin there in person. I predict all kinds of whining and criticism from the orange oaf against his fellow NATO members.
