A guest on Russias state television network on Wednesday found herself stunned by President Donald Trumps performance at this weeks NATO summit, in which the president angrily attacked longtime allies for allegedly not contributing enough to the alliance.
Julia Davis, who runs the Russian Media Monitor website, reports via Twitter that Association for Euro-Atlantic Cooperation President Tatyana Parkhalina told the Russian 60 Minutes news program on Wednesday that she never dreamed shed see an American president do so much to undermine his own countrys longest standing alliances.
I never thought Id live to see this! she exclaimed, according to Davis translation. Neither the USSR nor Russia, who tried many times to drive the wedge between transatlantic allies, but Washington is doing everything to break down the foundations of transatlantic alliance and unity.
Watch the video below Parkhalinas remarks about Trump undermining NATO start at the 21:24 mark.
