Merkel is a Russian Spy
Go for it Germany! But what are you going to do when Czar Vlad shuts off your natural gas supply?
I’m not saying next year or even 5 years from now.
But sooner or later that crazy country is going to be at war with some country or other, probably one that doesn’t bend to its EU agenda.
Of course i could be completely wrong.
Are the 30,000 troops there to have closer access to other parts of the world?
What is the rationale for having Americans there?
I’m not sure so I figured I asked.
Still Russia as the reason?
I have said it a lot of times on this site.
Close all the bases in Germany and move them to either England or Poland in the old east Prussian region. The Poles have already said they’ll BUILD US military bases and PAY for much of it.
The old East Prussian region would poke the Germans right in the eye.
It’s about time!
Honestly, the Russian “threat” pales in comparison to their growing Muslim population. In 50 years, Germany won’t be German anymore. Ditto with a lot of Western Europe. Central and Eastern Europe (including Russia) might be okay because they are not infected with Political Correctness. At some point, the old Eastern Bloc might have to come to their rescue.
Good.
I’d bet that German schools don’t trach about how the US has helped Germany. For instance, I’d wager that the Marshall Plan or the Berlin Airlift are not even mentioned.
Excellent. We are in agreement then.
Hey fine with me.
Go for it Europeans. Rely on yourselves for self-defense.
Ok. Now, what social programs are you willing to cut to fund the increase in funding you’ll be needing for self-defense?
By all means, go for it and get off our backs. Let’s bring back all the American troops stationed in Germany. Europe is going to eventually become Muslim anyway.
I agree!
They wish this because the 50% of Eastern Germany is still communist. They want the old days of the Iron Curtain to return.
To this day Germany...and Germans...are filthy and worthless.
Has Germany ever been attacked without attacking someone else first?
Yes, they need to rely more on Muslims.
NATO exists for US control and influence in Europe. NATO binds the EU to the USA in very important areas (defense and foreign policy), for better or worse.
You can’t influence or control a club in which you aren’t a member.
I personally feel Trump is ambivalent about NATO. Bashing them for more money is a reasonable and politically popular stance in the USA.
An outright proposal to dismantle NATO by any President would likely get them assassinated by the deep state.
works for me... and it'll never happenSounds great...until you recall the last promise she made in that regard was to increase to 1.5% by 2024. This means another half percent above that in perhaps as long as 16 years. That simply isn't serious.
NATO's founding purpose expired with the Soviet Union in '91. With the EU we have a GDP of $17.3 trillion as opposed to 19.4 trillion for the U.S. (2017 figures). The U.S. needs to step back and the EU step up, right now and not in the 2030's maybe.
Work more closely with Russia?....lol
