US troops are not in Germany to protect Germany. They’re there because the US needs bases to conduct operations beyond the North American continent. If Trump withdraws them, he will harm the United States, not Germany.
It’s absurd how many Americans fail to grasp this.
@Strandjunker Americans just know as little from European countries as Europeans know about States in America.
And about those 5000 troops... He probably send that many to Germany to prepare for the Irak war, making it definitely a non-issue.

@Strandjunker is it really absurd? I’m not so sure

@Strandjunker Getting American troops out of Europe is good news. Getting them to leave of their own will is even better.

Pretty sure there aren't a lot of Germans fretting about fewer American soldiers on their soil.

@Strandjunker It will clear the way for Putin to march across all of Europe to Lisbon.
With what? He can't find enough troops to march across Ukraine.

@Strandjunker Oh, don't worry: The Germans don't grasp it either. In the news they had quite a large bullshit bingo why this is bad for Germany (something about economy, maintaining workplaces, other foo).
Shifting the view to "having soldier from someone who might be your enemy tomorrow already in your land" is way to complex to get. They really do believe in dangers to "the economy"....

@baglava Why would you think, Putins Marionette would have stopped Putin?

@2legged @Strandjunker Any time in the last 35 years would have been good. Right now, not so much.

@Strandjunker
I'm not sure, but I think it's a bit of both.
As far as I recognize, the US army is not Trump and there are many experienced generals who know what is important. The same I know lots of Americans who are reliable integer citizens and not trumpists.
I think, it's right to demand a stronger participation by Germany (and the EU) in the NATO.
But I also believe that there's a strategical interest for the US to be present in Germany.It's not easy (never been). I'm German and hope we stay with each other.

@baglava @Strandjunker Well it's taken Putin about 4 years to march 250km into Ukraine.
At that rate, we can expect him in Lisbon sometime in 2090.
Do we think he'll still be alive in 64 years?

Trump is actively retarding every effort we have ever put in place to protect us as US citizens. IT IS INTENTIONAL.
Everyday Trump makes it easier for ALL OF US TO BE OWNED. Get it? We are part of this project. And by WE, I mean something else Donald Trump OWNS.
This is already well known or we would not be doing things like the No Kings March. Trump is doing to us what he does best; bankrupting. His ENTIRE PURPOSE OF BEING THERE IS TO DESTROY US FROM WITHIN. While his family makes BANK is the pay off and THEY ARE GETTING PAID OFF DAILY. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING PURCHASED BY TRUMP.
We will be his. If he manages to get past the mid terms. If we manage to have a midterm. We are SEVEN MONTHS AWAY from destiny.

@Strandjunker Please tell this to our Mr. Merz! He dosen't know for sure!
Because many pepple here are scared because of Trumps announcement.
For me it's clear to see, like most of Trumps decisions, even this one is weaking US much more than Germany and EU!

@Strandjunker Come to think of it, it'll make Iran even more of a logistical nightmare than it already is.

That's right. Many US veterans owe their lives to treatment they received at Ramstein after being wounded in action, or accidentally injured, in the Mideast or elsewhere. (So I'm told. No firsthand knowledge myself.)

Most?

@rupert We will have to disagree about that. Removing the troops helps to detach Europe from the American war machine after 80 years. It's a historic step forward.

@Strandjunker Europe will be a safer place without US forces. The fewer the better.

@alikatze @Strandjunker the US President is the commander in chief of their armed forces. In a way, Trump *is* the US armed forces.
