The German government said on Tuesday that US President Donald Trumps decision to send additional troops to Afghanistan was the right thing to do.
It is the right thing to do, and we have been requesting for some time that the end of operations there be based on realities on the ground, a government spokeswoman said. It is our common goal that no more terror attacks are planned on Afghan soil. [ ]
Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen also welcomed the decision, but said that Germany would not follow suit by further raising its troop numbers.
Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel meanwhile said that we expect the US to agree on action in close cooperation with Europe.

Of course they won’t.
Sounds awfully like Germany welcomes US troop boost in Fulda Gap, but wont follow suit.
we expect the US to agree on action in close cooperation with Europe.
This is so typical of these arrogant assh@les. They contribute nothing but still expect to have a veto over what the USA does.
Germany is no longer a friendly nation.
The German government is too busy facilitating terrorism in Germany. They can’t be bothered going after terrorists. It just wouldn’t be right. /s
Ditto that.
“Trump should take the US troops from places that will leave Germanys border and security exposed.”
+1
Muttie Merkel needs the cash to import more Muslims to Germany.
Sounds like they saw the writing on the wall and already raised their participation.
Meanwhile Germany harbors terrorists.
We dont need German troops. They would just get in the way.
Cheers from the peanut gallery
Sure it is you effing worthless Krauts! You have been the world’s “outside protection sponge,” since the end of WWII. Youi’ve been “cool” with having American money and troops protect your miserable a$$es ever since we put down your “Third Reich!” Americans should refuse to purchase stuff made in Germany.
Partial list of those strongly in favor of Trump’s Afghanistan surge:
McCain, Graham, Rubio, Ryan. Germany.
All 5 declared, dedicated enemies of the Trump Administration.
This is what happens when listen to your child for policy advice. Next up on the Ivanka agenda: Amnesty for illegals!!
Germany cannot even field one combat brigade and they are recruiting in Eastern Europe. Germany is finished.
And whatever ersatz army they do come up with is "armed" with wooden broomstick guns.
They will be slaves to either moslems or Putin, it's just a matter of who gets them first.
