US President Donald Trump’s abrupt decision to withdraw thousands of troops from Germany has refocused attention on the US military presence in Europe, which not only acts as a deterrent to Russia but also allows Washington to project US power across the globe. Here’s a look at the current American military deployment in Europe and the possible implications of Trump’s move.
Could we please stop to pretend that US troops would help Europe if it was attacked by Putin? I mean Putin surely calculates that way and we know the US is currently our enemy, Trump said countless times that he doesn’t like the way we do things here in Europe. Better get rid of US influence entirely. It’s better to wake up now and have time to prepare instead of finding out that US won’t defend Europe in the middle of a future Russian invasion.
