    Oh, please do. We will happily take over the 40 installations, good luck with the supply chain without Ramstein and the holiday locations in Garmisch.

    I am so tired of these threatsm

    That is just the army. So the air force and marines are not included.

    Didn't US soldiers stationed in Germany have to use German food banks in order to even eat a few months back?

    yep... the were sent to the "Tafel" by their superiors despite being not eligible, due to them having a job and having not filed for social security payments.

    Also germany pays substantial parts of costs for building the military bases (e.g. about 1/6 of the costs of a military hospital on the rammstein base https://www.stripes.com/theaters/europe/2024-04-22/rhine-ordnance-barracks-medical-center-construction-cost-13623428.html )

    There is nothing, which can replace the US bases in Germany on short notice. These are state of the art facilites, which have been built up over literally decades. Even if you moved them to say Poland or Romania, that would take years and billions.

    At the same time with Germany rearming, it should be rather possible for the Bundeswehr to take them over. So the local economy would not be impacted as badly.

    Maybe the occupation of Germany after WWII has run its legitimate course?

    Merz is clearly a POS, but his criticism is the first time I’ve heard him say something reasonable.

    I don't see the US presence having any benefit to either Germany or Europe. So that's OK Trump, you can take your stupid ball and go home. We have our own ball and a heck of a lot better friends to play with too.

    trump always wants to take his toys and go home, just like any other rich, spoiled brat. I cannot wait for the day when intelligent, serious people are in the positions of power again, if that ever was the case to begin with (I kind of doubt it because we let capitalism in).

    How does Trump even know that they have troops there. Is someone briefing him and he somehow remembers it or does it come up in discussion. Like, if you are talking to him, don't mention these things.

    According to reporting, Steven Miller or a similar aids gets it to him via cartoon drawings with a 4 grade language level before the meeting.

    If Trump was smart -or just able to plan ahead 2 minutes- I would assume that demolishing their own infrastructure supporting all their operations in Africa and the Middle-East then blaming Germany is part of their strategy to excuse their massive failure in Iran.

    Throw them all out. Including NATO. It is currently weaker with that whiny idiot in it.

    Once out of Germany, he will quickly understand their error in doing so.
