Another second, another Trump Derangement Syndrome freakout. Of the roughly 80,000 or so freakouts of the day, between blaming Trump for Hantavirus on a cruise ship and complaining about the White House ballroom, there’s a proposed withdrawal of 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany.
The obvious question is why not? The troops were there as part of WWII and the Cold War. Even assuming we were to be dealing with a Russian invasion, the front line hasn’t been Germany since the Cold War ended, and President Trump is proposing a redeployment to Poland where they could help stem the tide of Muslim invaders being sent into Poland through Putin’s puppet regime in Belarus.
(A widely overlooked story I’ve covered in the past is that Belarus has been flying in Iraqis and sending them across the border to invade Europe. NGOs have been screaming at Poland for trying to keep them out.)
U.S. bases in Germany have become a linchpin of our European presence and its global links. U.S. troops evacuated from the Middle East often head to Germany. But that was an accident of history.
And President Trump is right to consider reevaluating all that.
The only current invasion facing Germany is Islamic mass migration and that makes any presence we have in Germany less secure. Unless we’re stopping that invasion, our troops might be better off in Poland.
