The United States is withdrawing 5,000 troops stationed in NATO ally Germany, the Pentagon announced on Friday, as a rift over the Iran war widens between President Donald Trump and Europe.
Trump had threatened a drawdown in forces earlier this week after sparring with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who said Monday that Iran was humiliating the U.S. in talks to end the two-month-old war and that he did not see what exit strategy Washington was pursuing.
I don’t want us to align with any superpower. Not the US but also not China. Or India or Russia. And to have enough nuclear deterrent to make that a reality through MAD.
But yea American ties being severed is a good thing. It will take time to build up our own military deterrence but our biggest enemy Russia has overexerted themselves against Ukraine anyway so it will take them years to become a threat to us again.
And renewable energy has been a priority of the EU for years.
