Every decision we’ve made in that region has been a gift to Putin. Just a coincidence I’m sure.

Soldiers that deploy to Germany understand that they are nothing more than a speed bump to a Soviet invasion and will most assuredly be killed in the opening salvos.

Of course, this isn't 1987 and the Soviet Union no longer exists, so this doctrine is outdated by about thirty years. We are no longer concerned with the red army pouring through the Fulda Gap.

Furthermore, this is a great way to cut cost on our end while prodding Merkel to push for more spending for their own defense.

Uncle Sugar isn't picking up the tab anymore. I don't see a problem here.

Germany isn’t supposed to have much of an army which is part of why they are there. It also holds Putin in check and his grand dream is to reincarnate said Soviet Union. This just helps that little project along.

Your entire premise is incorrect.

Germany is supposed to field a 250,000 man Army. Right now they have approximately 64,000.

What are we pulling out... 12,000? They can easily reinforce those numbers and then some.

I know the Orange Man is bad, but this is a good move. We aren't the World Police.

What I find hilarious (if it weren't so sad) is the fact that leftists and neo libs will side with war hawks simply because of their disdain for one man.

The move to bring our people home and/or redeploy forces to other areas should be applauded by all sides of the aisle.

And your Foreign Policy credentials come from ...??? The keyboard....???

That’s a stipulation from the end of World War 2. It’s not exactly a secret.

Folks on “The Left” don’t hate the military or are somehow unpatriotic. They are much more careful about deploying force and in this case having troops in Germany is a longstanding action with good reason behind it. Nobody is in an uproar solely because of Trump. It’s not like they spent years calling for their removal and suddenly took the opposite position when Trump did it or something. You are off base with the orange man bad bullshit here.

What is the good reason? What are our people going to do that the Bundeswher can't accomplish? Like I said, our force is well known to be nothing more than a speed bump should red forces decide to mobilize.

Germany is limited to I think 370,000 active military with no more than 340,000 in the Bundeswher and Luftwaffe.

NATO asked them to stand up at least 250,000. Right now they have approximately 64,000.

No more free rides from Uncle Sugar. Stand up your Armies or suffer the consequences.

Good move.
