Trump considers pulling troops out of Germany
The Telegraph via Yahoo ^ | March 7th, 2025 | Connor Stringer

Donald Trump is considering pulling US troops from Germany and redeploying them to Eastern Europe, The Telegraph can reveal.

Mr Trump is weighing up withdrawing some 35,000 active personnel out of Germany in a move that would further sour US-Europe relations.

The US president, who has repeatedly warned that Europe must commit more to its defensive capabilities, is becoming increasingly frustrated that the continent is “pushing for war”, sources close to the administration said.

Around 160,000 active-duty personnel are stationed outside of the United States, a vast quantity of whom are in Germany.

Redeploy to the US. We do not need to be overseas. Nothing good can come from that.

So did Obama and Biden. Yet people often just called them by their last names. Nothing wrong with that.

We need those troops in the Pacific region. Red China is our biggest threat, not Russia.

GOOD! Europe is bent on having WW3, this time we don’t play. We can sweep in and clean the ruble after they have destroyed all the corruption by their own warmongering hands.

I would be happy to see hard working sane, Christian people escape to our country as refugees from the insanity in Europe. As for Islam, let them enjoy the violence they always bring with them.

Yawn. Recycled Cold War Kremlin Bolshevik gaslighting. Putin’s regime launched the biggest war in Europe since WW2 with over a million now dead (according to Trump). But really its NATO’s defensive alliance that wants war.

We never should have had troops there in the first place. We always pay for their defense.

Careful. The armchair isolationists don’t want them in Asia, either.

We have circumstantial evidence that we may have provoked Putin into invading Ukraine. Kremlin stooge was replaced in Ukraine. Ukraine asked to join NATO. Biden never told Ukraine that they couldn't join NATO.

As a result, Putin felt that he had no choice but to invade Ukraine.

This is out of a British publication and they are simply being disrespectful.

No one would ever have called Queen Elizabeth by her first name, or call her Mrs. Elizabeth.

Europe hates President Trump because he stands up to them.

I don’t think he will remove our troops, but is using our current presence as a type of leverage against them. More or less, “we’ll leave if you don’t do what you need to do.”

I was stationed at Spangdahlem Air Base in the 80s and loved the experience. However, I am not so emotionally attached to those times that I’m not willing to leave if it’s best for our country.

America First!

I don’t even know why we are still in Germany. WWII ended approximately 80 years ago, and it doesn’t look like Nazis are going to arise there.

The Telegraph can “REVEAL”? Exactly how and from whom would they know this. This is our “allies” trying screw with us somemore to drag us into crap and protect them from their own lazy a@@ stupid selves. The “EU” working their fake a@@ journalists at... the Telegraph. We will know this is all made up when the Guardian runs something like this with a little “RED” twist.

US military placements now in newspapers. We’ve been parked there in Germany long enough to protect the resurgence of Merkel and the other hiding NAZI socialists dominating the EU== and to the point of the late Queen of UK, getting her demands of BREXIT for just that reason. Euro trash had better get their crap together. This is US-EXIT now, taking them off the teat.
