Wouldn't be surprised if rape rates go down after this.

At least in Okinawa it's a big problem

It’s funny when you think about the Japanese people who have been propagandized into thinking America, the country who hit them with an atomic bomb, is in anyway a cool country when said country is also actively still controlling and even policing their neighborhoods.

I hate being American lol.

That's a good start.

Now do the rest and close all the bases.

Medium or long term sure.

Suddenly & without a German replacement of capability? Not so good.

Trump is a Russian asset.

American overseas bases are load-bearing structures for America's expeditionary warfare capacity.

I agree that a planned drawdown would be better, but if the only chance we have of getting out of Europe is Trump angrily closing all bases via executive order, it'll have to do.

The best answer to this is all European governments expelling all US troops in one go. See if Trump likes losing a large part of the US military’s global projection powers

Yeah, it's not like those soldiers are there to benefit Germany. They may have been at one point, back when there were a bazillion soviet tanks crowding around the Fulda gap. Nowadays, they just benefit US strategic power.

Perfect. Get your nationalist yes-men back in your cave.
