Wolfgang Kubicki, the deputy chairman of the opposition Free Democrats (FDP), said Richard Grenell’s repeated interference in German sovereignty should prompt Foreign Minister Heiko Maas to immediately declare Grenell persona non grata.
“Any US diplomat who acts like a high commissioner of an occupying power must learn that our tolerance also knows its limits,” said Kubicki, who is also one of five deputy speakers of Germany’s Bundestag parliament.
Grenell had on Tuesday criticized Germany’s military spending plans within NATO as insufficient, prompting Kubicki to accuse the envoy of “interfering” repeatedly in political issues of a sovereign country.
Grenell’s criticism of Germany’s defense spending came weeks after he demanded that Berlin halt Nord Stream 2, a gas pipeline being laid across the Baltic Sea to deliver gas from Russia to Germany, and threatened firms involved in the project with sanctions. […]
The foreign affairs spokesman for Germany’s opposition Greens, Omid Nouripour, dismissed Kubicki’s remarks as “plain nonsense.” …

begin immediate withdrawal of all troops from Germany - I’m sure Poland and others would welcome us
When was the last time germany did that? Who were they allied with? Something something history...
Doesn’t the ambassador get a free pass for being a fairy?
He should never have been appointed. Last thing on Earth we need is a homosexual ambassador. Or homosexual anything.

Do you disagree with either of the above??
Bring the troops home.
I have a woman next door from East Germany and she reminds me of Merkel, even looks like her. She is also tall and large as a bull moose. She is a pig head bully and she hates America and Jews but won’t leave. She has been in US 30 years and does not want citizenship.
My experience with them is negative. LOL
Ok...then I say move our troops to Poland and burn Germany to the ground...
As long as Russia breathes there is a danger of war.
The Polish offered to pay a good sum to us if we put a military base in their country.
I say the same as you. Move the medical as well as all military out of Germany and set up shop in old East Prussia.
I don’t like Russia as much as the next guy that’s a fan of the Rocky franchise, but why is Europe’s security our responsibility?
They’re not a wholly sovereign country. We are occupying them because Germans keep trying to conquer Europe and the fundamental reason for our presence is to make sure that does not happen again.
Hey Der a-hole, we occupy you because you lost a war and we even bothered to protect your behinds from the USSR. We can easily just go to Poland and you can be Russia’s b*tch.
“The Cold war is over. Bring the troops home.”
The main reason we were there was to keep a boot on Germany’s neck and prevent them launching another war after WWI and WWII.

OK, swell - he’s conservative. But he’s also mental. Any guy who’s infatuated with other guy’s butts has a screw loose and shouldn’t be representing our country.
Or leading boy scout troops, or leading a church, or..
Because, left on their own, they start really murderous wars and we end up expending lives and treasure saving everyone’s bacon. Again.
“Last thing on Earth we need is a homosexual ambassador. Or homosexual anything.”
Who cares as long as he gets Germany to pay up.
