Lieutenant General Christian Freuding fears the longstanding military partnership between the two allies is unravelling under President Trump’s administration
The Pentagon has “cut off contact” between American defence officials and their German counterparts, according to the head of Germany’s army.
The United States has traditionally treated Germany as one of its most important European allies. It is thought to have about 35,000 soldiers stationed at German bases such as Ramstein and Stuttgart, which serve as staging posts for American operations across Africa and the Middle East.
Since President Trump’s return to power in January, the relationship between the countries has become markedly cooler.
more or less unpopular than having a pedophile as president?
Having a pedophile is pretty unpopular… It’s starting to rend MAGA apart. Ongoing open warfare would be much harder to hide than child abuse from 10-20 years ago though, so it would be harder for the MAGA faithful to deny.
Absolutely These people don’t care about kids that they don’t know being abused. Their own children dying on the battlefield though, that’s a different matter
While I see your point, I had to travel a lot for work a few years back… and I got tired of seeing moms, dads and girlfriends making a show at the airport about how their sons/boyfriends/husbands were going to war to DEFEND the USA and PROTECT xyz
I think the brain washing has been thorough enough that they’ll have enough meat for the grinder.
If the people of the USA did not revolt after the WMD fiasco and the American lives lost there, I doubt another war for profit would be any different
