Trump is such a dumbass. Bringing down the post ww2 American but not because they think its evil. But because they think things like "having allies" "diplomacy" and "soft power" are "woke" and "gay".
Sick and tired of listening “Trump threatens”! How can one single person worsen at this point the lives of so many people? Tired of seeing him, listening to his bulls**t, his eternal threats, his mediocrity. Tired.
Why does anyone care anymore, if Trump withdraws US troops from their country? Trump has stated that he will not honour NATO Article 5 commitments, so all they can then do is start wars!!
Oh, if they are going, they don't need to over-flight rights either!!
If US troops are withdrawn from Europe, so too should US air bases and access to European air bases and air space. (And for once, the UK should do the right thing.)
This is the part he’s not thinking through because he’s a senile moron. Most of the bases have dual role in extending US operations as well as European defence so he limits his own military capabilities.
Putin will be thrilled that Trump continues to give away US power, influence & their international presence across Europe too. One would imagine some military folk in the US may realise the strategic folly of Trump's behaviour. I guess we're about to find out.
Do it. Withdraw your troops, lose your bases and watch every embassy you have get downgraded. Good luck projecting power across the Middle East and Africa without European footholds.
