Not at the same levels we are now if we aren’t interjecting ourselves into every conflict.

There were ten bases around Tokyo. All closed now. All closed at the end of Viet Nam. No one came home, they simply grew other locations.

That’s a geopolitical strategy failure downstream of the MIC capturing our political structures post WW2, not an ideal or optimized outcome that benefits domestic Americans.

If Poland wants the growth, have them provide the infrastructure. Thousands of jobs for Poland.

On this we agree so long as they’re paying for it as every nation should for its own critical defense requirements.

I just don’t want us paying for their defense or sending our boys over to fight their battles as so many on here seem to think is our birth obligation.

They are Germany First, as they should be.

Russia is not the global boogeyman the news has sought to convince us.

If they ask us to leave, we will go. Maybe AfD will rebuild the German military.

At this point I would evacuate all of our troops out of Germany, France, and The UK. Move them to Poland, Belarus, and Hungary instead.

Every move made impacts the local economy. We didn’t have Americans driving buses, maintaining infrastructure, it was all Japanese. Our family had a Japanese maid.

We could close them all down. Japan closed most of the Tokyo. But troops are in Okinawa and the Philippines. Germany has turned from being aggressive and looking more like France every day.

Germany’s problem? Green energy stupidity and an open door policy to Islam.

I would call Germany's bluff. The last time I checked they were worried about Russia continuing to push west.

They deindustrialized while importing millions of people who hate them and tell them openly they want to destroy their nation. Its the national suicide of one of the pillars of western culture and civilization.

Im not sure anything but us using those troops to invade Berlin is going to save them from what the globalists talked them into doing.

It’s over, bring them home.
I don’t think you realize that would necessitate a MASSIVE reduction in our military (equipment and people).

That means significant cuts to defense contractors and roughly 300,000 soldiers, sailors, marines, etc. out of a job. Some people choose the military because it’s a viable career. This would yank the rug out from them while making us less safe. Both bad ideas.


1. We could relocate the troops to Poland and other eastern european countries which like us and are closer to the enemy.

2. How is saving money on defense a bad thing?

Chechnya, Georgia, and Ukraine probably disagree with your assessment.

I know that Poland and Finland definitely disagree with you.

lol. The Russia is just as eager for expansion as the So key Union was.
Putin very much wants to re-establish the empire. “There is no such thing as an “ex- KGB agent”…Vladimir Putin in the 90’s..

Putin cant take Ukraine and you think he's coming through Poland?

Thats a laughable talking point used by the people who wanted us to prop up Ukraine so the globalists could launder money through it and justify military spending, not a plausible military scenario.

And there it is again.


Can't pull out of Europe because we must fight Europe's wars for them.

Will Sharia Law rule the day there like it will in Germany, France, and The UK in the next 25 years? That kind of evil?

That impact is preferable, because then it's Germany's problem to deal with the fallout, and we're not transferring tax dollars to an economy that doesn't want us there.

Camp Zama, Atsugi, Yokosuka, Yokota, Misawa are all still open right? We may have lived there around the same time. The Japanese kids would go to the end of the runway at Atsugi to watch F-18s land (there was a sidewalk next to a road right next to the fence, which was maybe 80 yards from the end of the runway.)

Southwest Germany is great and the people are extremely friendly. This would destroy the local economies of several places.

The AfD party is conservative and the only good party. If they ask us to withdraw we should consider
