THAT is NOT gonna happen….
This IS just Donald stuck in political quick sand….
First of all?
That’s 35,000 troops…..
America’s being NATO is guaranteed by the US Congress….
Breaking THAT guarrantee would cause HIM HUGE Problems
Pulling the troops, even thousands would scare the shit outta Hard Line Republican Senator’s that Trump and Hegseth are asking for $1.5 Trillion in next years budget….
Such a move would also make Russian President Putin estactic, which would cause Trump media headaches and Europe REAL concern….
Donald IS thin skinned….
It’s alright for him to give NATO and Germany the shit heel…..
But he cries when they won’t dance for him afterwards…
Donald Trump has enough problems with his foreign affairs messes….
He doesn’t need another one….
NOBODY is gonna help him get out him Iran conflict…
They ARE gonna just watch he sink further….
And Germany’s Merz IS Right….
Trump doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing and the Iranian’s ARE schooling him….
President Trump declared on Wednesday evening that he is “studying and reviewing the possible reduction of Troops in Germany,” in what appears to be retaliation for comments by Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, that Iran has “humiliated” the United States.
Even before Mr. Merz made his comments to a group of German students, the United States had hinted that it may review its troop levels in Europe, despite the continuing concerns that Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, may attempt to test whether NATO would truly come to the aid of one of its smaller, newer members, like Estonia or Latvia.
Germany is the hub of the American presence in Europe, with about 35,000 American troops based there. It is also the center for medical treatment, aircraft arming and maintenance, and the headquarters for American forces in Europe. Italy houses 12,000 American troops, and the United Kingdom about 10,000, and all three have been critical way stations for forces and aircraft flying to the Middle East to support Operation Epic Fury, the attack the United States and Israel launched against Iran.
Military commanders, already feeling stretched, have been clear about the risks for the United States in cutting troops at the major bases across Europe. But for Mr. Trump, the decision may well hinge on his feelings about Mr. Merz, a former investment banker who has nurtured a relationship with him — but who has been increasingly critical about a war he has viewed as unwise and possibly illegal….

Germany, like other allies, was frozen out of the Trump administration’s deliberations about going into Iran, and then showed no enthusiasm for joining the fight, either individually or as part of NATO, the alliance created after World War II to contain the Soviet Union. Mr. Trump reacted with fury, suggesting anew that he was reconsidering America’s participation in the alliance, though he could not formally pull out without the approval of Congress.
He was particularly incensed by Mr. Merz’s comments and accused him of siding with Iran. “The Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about!” Mr. Trump wrote in a social media post. For good measure, he added: “No wonder Germany is doing so poorly, both Economically, and otherwise!”…
