It would also require the Defense secretary to certify that the move would not impact the U.S. military's ability to "execute contingency plans," wouldn't negatively impact ongoing operations, won't impact military families and that the Pentagon has consulted with allies including NATO and Germany.
Germany is not on track to meet NATOs goal of spending 2 percent of its gross domestic product on defense. But it is not delinquent to NATO as Trump describes because the spending is not a payment to NATO it is spending on a countrys own defense and the goal does not have to be met until 2024.
Its time for President Trump to remind these weasels who is Commander in Chief.
Order the troops home tomorrow and let them howl.
L
Hilarious.
It all comes down to money to Senators, foreign money to US Senators.
The usual suspects
All sorts of NATO countries want American troops out until they actually want to leave. It’s not about security it’s about the money they spend and the jobs created to support them.
Yep, the despicable sellouts and losers, especially Romney, Graham, and Rubio. They try to stick it to Trump at every turn. And please note how they are teaming up with DUMMOCRAPS on this. That's how low they will go. Lindsey Graham needs his lying face slapped, every time he goes on Hannity and mouths his "support" for Trump. Romney needs to be tied to the top of a moving vehicle on a coast-to-coast trip. Rubio needs to attend a beach party full of COVID+ college kids.
These Senators are more interested in their kickbacks because any student of history knows that Poland, where Trump wants to relocate troops to, is known as the gateway between Russia and Western Europe so it’s the perfect relocation strategically while making a huge statement to other NATO countries.
TRue. But the media hates any ‘student of history’/.
Marxists Romney, Graham and Rubio align with Marxist Tim Kaine. Nothing new under the sun.
More Anti-Trump shenanigans from the RINOs.
How ‘bout instead stopping US cities from reducing police forces.
That says it all
I missed the Poland aspect, thanks for posting that. That is an amazing alternative. I have been pulling for Poland since they didn’t drink the #Globalismkoolaid. My son is stationed in ktown and we would be attending his wedding in the Netherlands. I told him i would stay in poland, preferably.
After spending 4 years in West Germany.. i just dont have the sto.ach to witness merkels madness.
Mitt Romney, the military expert, who avoided military service during Vietnam by getting six deferments while being a Mormom missionary in France. Asked about this later, Romney claimed it was similar to service in combat. This is the military “expert” trying to take over US defense policy.
Veto the entire bill if it contains this rotten provision.
The US should pull ALL of its troops out of Germany. The whole idea that Russia is going to pour through the Fulda gap is absurd. Russia is not the Soviet Union no matter how much Putin wishes it were. They have nothing like the Soviets’ strength. Their economy is smaller than Italy’s. They are simply not in a position to threaten all of Europe. In any event, the Yurps have plenty of people and money to be able to defend themselves. Some in the Senate need to get a grip.
Romney and Graham, they are a waste of skin and need to be found in bed together with a goat. They are the enemy.
Amen.
End this German welfare program.
When did GOP Senators ever try to stop Obama from doing anything? Asking for a friend...
Romney, Graham, Rubio, Coons, Kaine, and Shaheen
What's it worth to them?
