Why should he immediately do anything? Why can't he use all available cards as leverage to negotiate the best deals for us?

Leaving bases in Europe would weaken our defenses. It seems to me that most people on this board don't want to see our defense budget shrink, but now want us to leave bases around the world?

We are as strong as we are because we are all over the world

French refuse to let us fly over their airspace to retaliate against Libya. That was in 1983. They have not been our ally for over 40 years.

We should not announce it. We should start bringing them home. One day soon they will wake up and we will be gone.

More than that, remove all the pre-staged equipment and supplies if you really want to make a point.


Yep, don’t leave any US resources. If it can’t be moved, blast it to dust in target practice.

Can’t leave crap like we did in Afghanistan.

That should help with recruiting. Instead of Club Med call it Camp Med.

Why do people say this? Working with Russia does not mean friends with Russia. It makes 0 sense to have a completely crappy relationship with China and Russia, but that doesn’t mean you are their best friends. You can have a respectful relationship or at least attempt it.
