Nato leaders have informally agreed not to mention the football World Cup to Donald Trump for fear of irritating the US president at a crucial time for the military alliance.

In the first open acknowledgment of the strategy, the Belgian prime minister, Bart De Wever, told reporters in Ankara he would not be discussing his country’s 4-1 win over the US earlier this week.

Look, can everyone please do their best not to annoy the bumbling pedophile? Thank you - your cooperation is appreciated.

the world has to learn to do without the US sooner or later. might as well be sooner.

if they're planning on that, then I agree with the play. if they're not planning on that and want to continue with the US in as big a role as previously, then fuck 'em.

of course, I don't know which it is. but it's obviously the right play to make meaningless moves to appease him.
