DW: German conservatives slam reported US troop withdrawal
With the US reportedly set to move some 9,500 soldiers out of Germany, conservative MP Andreas Nick told DW the decision seemed to be "politically motivated." Another senior CDU politician described it as a wake-up call.
Washington's alleged plan to transfer about 9,500 troops out of its German bases is a symbolic gesture that is likely to weaken US military operations and "further deteriorate" trans-Atlantic ties, conservative lawmaker Andreas Nick told DW on Saturday.
The comments come after the Wall Street Journal, Der Spiegel magazine, and the Reuters news agency all reported that the US is preparing to cut down its German contingent. Some 34,500 US troops are currently stationed in Germany. The transfer is reportedly due to Germany not investing enough money into its defense.

Why should they be? Germany has behaved like an enemy of America for decades now.
In the Trump era, America cowering before it's enemies is ending. We've recently achieved manned space flight. While this doesn't necessarily mean we are on the level of Russia or China yet in terms of power and influence, it does suggest that with Trump as POTUS we are moving in the right direction.
Trump as the ultimate nemesis to Russia will send these troops to Poland. Unfortunately I think Poland is using and abusing us in a similar manner to how Germany has. If this materializes, as the saying goes "meet the new boss, same as the old boss." America continues to be abused by the parasites.
NATO answered the call after 911. And Russia proved with its new nuclear policy that they cannot handle NATO without them Or the threat of nuclear weapons use.
Western Europe in general, and Merkel in particular, hate everything Trump stands for, which, in part, has quite a bit to do with America being taken advantage of by half the world. Obama, their trained little pet, didn't have the b@lls to buck the globalist status quo, and was loved for it. But Trump laid his cards on the table, plain for all to see. In response, they ridiculed him. Keep laughing, bitche$. Finally (hopefully), we have a leader who won't keep taking sh|t from these t|t-sucking socialist parasites. Cry me a freakin river, Merkel.
Germany stopped being a loyal ally in 2003. Now she is more a balancer with the USA, neither ally nor enemy, opportunist I think is the word as she deepens economic relations with China and a Russia against its USA relations. Heck Gazprom practically has as much influence in Berlin as the US embassy.
Germans rejoiced as Grenell exited hits US ambassador duties. This cut is Grenell waving a big FU to Merkel and company as he leaves.
Why would they be stunned? They don't like us anyway. Move them to Poland, Bulgaria who do want us there. Germany has gotten spoiled rotten.
