And you disagree with Trump that Putin, one of Red China’s biggest allies, is a problem?

A problem? Sure, for former Soviet states that are now independent. A problem that menaces Germany? Nope, nonsense. Putin's got his hands full trying to meddle with Georgia and the Ukraine - he doesn't have the power or the guts to try to retake the Baltic nations, let alone take on Western Europe. Redeploy a few of the troops stationed in Germany to Poland and Hungary and bring the rest home. Why are we paying for Angela Merkel's defense with our tax dollars?

That’s correct; they do not menace Germany. Merkel has been conducting very friendly negotiations with Russia for well over a decade and a half, in fact.

If we do get out of Europe, the point is to keep them divided, though. The EUSSR was founded primarily on anti-Americanism, and if they were ever to be allowed to put their plans for a united military through, the USA is still their primary target.
