We should simply bring the troops home from Europe. Stop enriching the economy of Germany with our money and blood. They can pay for their own defense.
I think you’ve hit on something there. I think we should employ that idea for police here in the US. We’ll keep them inside the police station until a crime is committed. If you can ignore the sheer number of rapes robberies, and murders that will occur because no one is around to detour them, think of the savings.
If there is a war in the mid east or any other potential trouble spot our planes delivering tanks, troops and bullets will pass right over Germany. Only they will have no place to land since you pulled out all the infrastructure to support them.
I suppose you can say we got no business being anywhere in the first place. Being isolationist did not work out very well at Pearl Harbor and things have not improved in our favor since. Bad guys got nukes now, do you think a surprise attack will be less or or more deadly the next time some third world hell hole wants to take your lunch money? What enemy is going to give us a year to move from the US to the front lines this time?
