I find this timeline interesting:

@randahl he can do that (in certain limits, I think) and apart of violating NATO agreements (which he may not understand or doesn't care is irrevalent) this also has an effect on american power projection elsewhere.
Long distance ligistics simply suck.
@randahl he can say/rant a lot but what is really happening, makes the difference.
The timeline... honestly, the first four years made clear what he thinks about the EU. I don't care any longer about that, we just have to get out things straight.
Nations don't have friends, they have shared interests and this version of USofA does have others.

I find this timeline interesting:
Wednesday Trump had a 90 minute phone call with Putin. The call happened prior to Trump mentioning it to the press at a 14:00 press event.
Then at 17:48 Trump posts on Truth social that he is now studying the possible reduction of US troops in Germany.
Correlation is not causation, and Trump has talked about pulling away from Europe before. But it is worrying that Trump is talking to the enemy, and immediately thereafter wants to weaken our defences.
@randahl In the end this is what it means to be a sucker. Europe has been sucking up to the orange thinking he will reason. The reality as always with narcissist, is that they will throw suckers under the bus at first opportunity. He willl only sate his narcissism with the likes of Putin.
Europe should stop this behaviour and build its own defence against a possible russian invasion/attack as soon as time allows it.

@randahl The question is open, if reducing US troops in Germany will "weaken our defences". Reflecting the events of last 12 months, I am not so sure, if this is the case.

@randahl Trump acts identically to a fully-turned foreign asset for the FSB

@randahl Putin is not Trump's enemy. He is his owner.

Remember when the U.S. Media was struggling to describe "The Orange Bluto from NYC"?
Their creative journalistic imagination created catchy monikers; a Disruptive Political Outsider, not a Beltway Insider, Unconventional, Populist/Disruptor, Non-establishment, & even a Liberal-leaning Populist, (pre-2015).
Media finally arrived at the most accurate Moniker, 'Transactionalist', spelled, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Is there any doubt of the central motive of King Kleptocrat now?

@randahl for the rest of history thank you for your attention to this matter will be fighting words

@randahl He will chicken out anyway when it counts, whether troops are here or not. We are on ourselves.

@randahl an RCA moment; “his master’s voice” ………

@randahl In this case, I do think this is simply because Merz dissed Trump in an interview, you don't need Putin for Trump to throw random tantrums...

@randahl Of course you could argue about whether removing US military assets from Europe constitutes a weakening or the opposite, in light of our fresh knowledge that American soldiers will absolutely obey orders from the MAGA regime to perform illegal military action, effectively putting them under Putin's command.
Personally I don't think we can trust US troops to be on our side at all & I'd rather not have them inside our borders, thank you very much.
