Donald Trump Pulling US Troops From Europe in Blow to NATO Allies: Report
-
This is why we don't allow foreign bases in France. Also, alliances are frail and cannot be depended on
-
Yep, it's the only instance where they might, but even then it's no guarantee. Closing the bases would be awesome for anyone but landlords in the areas who are charging extortionate rates to base personal rather than offering affordable housing to locals.

Wow!
Now do russia!

-
Yes. Yanks go home
-
Get the fuck out of every foreign base. Period. Americans soldiers should stay in america.

Beside, it's not that old so that people don't get cancer from agent orange anymore.
What a scummy country, the USA
-
Ah yes I benefited a lot from having nazi gangsters roaming free funded by gladio money.

If NATO and the US are no longer as much if a factor? He can project westward with less fear.

It's depressing, but the US is the main supporter of the Ukraine war effort. Europe has been able to rely on a US-backed NATO for a long time, and boy oh boy is trump making it clear what a bad idea that was. If the US stops supporting Ukraine, even just materially (i.e. we keep supplying intelligence and similar), the war will turn depressingly quickly. Hopefully they've been able to inflict enough damage on the russian economy that they'll agree to a cease fire, but no european nations are equipped to fight the war of attrition Ukraine has turned into.

Donald Trump is going to kill millions, maybe billions of people in the long run from the collective effort of all his combined actions, and it sounds like the majority of people will be applauding the entire time right up to the very moment it's their head on the block. Tankies, conservatives, and centrists cheer as Earth burns.
-
Well that could be tough for Europe to quickly adapt to ... but ok.
Will they pull out of Greenland?
-
I don't think it's disingenuous. Omission of context in specific criticism doesn't invalidate said criticism.
-
We've seen war between nuclear nations. It's not necessarily a deterrent from war. Russia is not using nukes against Ukraine either. It's merely a deterrent from escalation to that degree.

A multi-millionaire can lose their money, a billionaire gets more than they can spend just by having it

Well, right now Putin is the only one Europe needs to be defended from, so they will still devote full attention. More, probably, since Europe will be forced to hasten the military policy renewal
