Trump accused Germany of being delinquent in its payments to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and vowed to stick with the plan unless Berlin changed course. NATO in 2014 set a target that each of its 30 members should spend 2% of GDP on defense. Most, including Germany, do not F'em all.
The idea that Russia will invade Europe and therefore need US forces to stop that is ludicrous.
The krauts have built a fascist/ socialist economy because we pay for their security.
Their annual military budget is about 1.2% which is peanuts.
Let them protect themselves and they could start by shutting the gas pipeline from Russia.

This is a feint, like I said in another post. We get out of there and they quickly make up with Russia; they’ve been making very peaceful overtures towards Russia for decades, the pipeline being one culmination of such.

not enough Germans. Their birth rate is low, and they import Turks by the bushel full. Simply put, there will be no more Germany soon
