And they deployed radar because they're afraid of drone shenanigans.
I'll get there tomorrow, probably submarines there by then.

Poland's government reportedly promised 'a reception of cheering crowds' as part of its invitation to Trump: http://bit.ly/2tqaRYg

AP: Trump looks for friendlier European welcome in Poland
Gotta be ready for denmark invading by sea
I wonder if a Polish person could speak to that, because Trump is not popular there either. It's maybe not as bad as in other countries, but big cheering crowds would really surprise me.
edit:
Well, The Guardian explains it
I get the impression that left extremism isn't much of a thing in the US, if people want to see what that looks like then observe the G20 protests. This is gonna get ugly.
I wonder if they'll have the crowd marching by and going around in a loop to look bigger, like in the Soviet days...

Atleast US Gaf knows how police violence looks like, am I right?
Pandas are part of Chinese diplomacy, legally all of them belong to China and they are rented out to zoos around the world.
It's actually really interesting. With a lot of official circumstance China just recently lend a pair, Meng Meng and Jiao Qing, to Berlin Zoo for the next 15 years. The Zoo has to pay 1 million € per panda each year and after 15 years, or in the chance there is offspring, China will claim them back.
There are just 25 zoos in the world that have giant pandas. It's a big deal for a zoo to be able to host them and some kind of zoo knighthood.

Probably each part of the world must be represented and Europe already have 5 members with the EU and 6 if we count Russia.

I'll repost what I wrote in PoliGAF
Trump was all over the place about Russian interference. One minute he was saying, it could be Russia but probably some other people or countries. Then he said it was Russia, but it was Obama's fault for not doing anything because he thought Hilary would win. Then he said not all intelligence agencies agreed if it was Russia who was responsible. Then he was back to saying it was probably Russia, but maybe others.
Complete clusterf*ck of a response. It was basically a Greatest Hits version of all his incoherent talking points on Russia.
Then the press conference ends abruptly.
Well, it's what the USA wants or they don't even come. Which to me would be "Okay, bye... stay away then.". But the USA even gets drones in the sewers, drones they can control without ever telling the German government what they are upto. It's fucked up.
Still it's also Germany's fault for accepting that shit. They can just go "you know what, fuck it, do it in New York then, as this is against our citizens rights!".
But nope we rather suck up than to have principle.

My sister lives in in Hamburg, right there in the hood that's going to get hot over the next few days.
Gonna be interesting!

Yep, sounds like the reasoned responses you'd expect from Trump.
Really? Really shows your political bias. Most left wingers in Europe are tame at best, there are some extremist like violent anarchists... but that's about it.
You also have rioters in the USA, just because you are told in Europe that "Right is like their left!" doesn't make it so. Your perception of "Left Wing extremism" is all how the media brings it. For instance, the Dutch side of my relatives linked an Article from "the Telegraaf" or some news paper like that. Peaceful protests, but they were still called "hotheads, even though it was just a peaceful protest for the awareness of climate change.

Trump: "it could be Russia, it could be other people in other countries too. No one really knows for sure. Our intelligence agencies have been wrong before."
In other words, same old shit.

Why do they do this stuff in a major city. Rent out one of those fancy places in the mountains or countryside. Seems a lot easier to manage that way.
I could but i wont.
Gonna weasel myself through the protest

They did that in 2012. G20 was at Camp David. There's a small mountain town nearby called Thurmont and that's it.
I was living there at time. A small mountain town was not and cannot be prepared for the masses diving on one location. It sucked.
Trump himself poses a bigger danger to the existing Western world order than scary brown people.
Poland is a very conservative, traditionalist country so there's a fair share of people over here who actually root for Trump, and those who don't either don't care, are a minority or simply belong to a large group of people who are very much scared of Russia and desperate for assurances from the USA(regardless of who is currently running the country) about a constant presence of American troops in Poland - this is quite ironic considering Trump would be probably the first one to make a deal with Russia over everyone's heads.
