1. “Donald Trump is considering pulling US troops from Germany and redeploying them to Eastern Europe, **The Telegraph** can reveal.

   Trump is weighing up withdrawing some 35,000 active personnel out of Germany in a move that would further sour US-Europe relations.

   The US president, who has repeatedly warned that Europe must commit more to its defensive capabilities, is becoming increasingly frustrated that the continent is “pushing for war”, sources close to the administration said.

   Around 160,000 active-duty personnel are stationed outside of the United States, a vast quantity of whom are in Germany.

   “Trump is angry that they [Europe] appear to be pushing for war,” a source close to the White House said……”

2. So we’re going full Russia side flip huh

3. I do really wonder when any protections kick in under US law. Also, if there is anyone left to enforce them.

4. any grown ups can explain? wtf?

5. That’s nice of him to do it before Germany had to ask.

   No one wants enemy soldiers based in their country.

6. How is Europe pushing for war? And against whom? Fuck you, Krasnov.

7. Gotta hurt our ally & help his Autocrat pal, Orban.. 

8. The unexpected outcome is that he is forcing the EU to act now following shared interests (now that Russia has become a common threat and enemy) instead of having each country fighting for their own interest.

   Maybe we will see a different EU after this.

9. He has no idea what this entails nor any of the second and third order effects it will create.

10. Has he like… consulted with knowledgable people like generals and the CIA? 

11. How long would this take ? Can Hungary sustain that many soldiers ?

12. So if this guy isn’t a Russian asset, I don’t know…

13. If Trump actually pulls U.S. troops from Germany and shifts them to Hungary, thats a massive geopolitical shift. NATO dynamics would change overnight, and the message it sends to Russia is… interesting, to say the least. Wonder how Germany and the EU will react.

14. Literally the only thing on Earth that can save Putin and Russia is Donald Trump.

15. Lol! Might as well deploy them to St Petersburg.

    Might as well nuke the European capitals while he’s at it.

16. Putin orders it, and Trump does it.

17. The Americans are going to end up defending Russia.

18. Trump is the Devil’s revenge on those who ever valued facts, kept an open mind and ever gave a sh!t about anyone else besides themselves.

19. america can you stop this filthy traitor please? now hes actively fucking up europe too.

20. EU countries take up more of the NATO slack, just like he requested, and the first he does is go running to Putin’s pal in Hungary?

    Hmm. Not exactly subtle.

    The wheels are coming off after 100 days.

    America is about the find out.

21. And the home of the brave fell pretty easily to the Reds, it seems. Conned by a known con-man who did nothing but advertise loudly that he’s a con-man. Sad.

22. What a clusterfuck.

23. When Nostrastradamus describes the Antichrist, it was clothed in blue
    Never thought about a blue business suit

24. Gotta protect Hungary from NATO, obviously. Pfft. What a timeline we live in.

25. Are Republicans really that stupid to think this is good?

26. Fucking Christ. Are we going to resurrect Noriega and befriend him too?

27. Serious question, would there be any push back from the US armed forces if they are asked to support Russia? Would people serving disobey orders?

28. Imagine being an American soldier, your entire life in the hands of a madman.

29. This is the beginning of the end of the USA being a member of NATO

30. Why stop there? Just plop them down in Kaliningrad or Belarus!

31. Trump is a danger to humanity.

32. Do the American military have no honor and shame in the face of obeying a dictator sold to the historic enemy?

    It is more than evident that Donald Trump and his administration are on the side of Russia .

33. Hey America, have you ever considered not letting your longest foreign adversary talk your President to sleep each night in unrecorded, records act violating phone calls?
    Asking for a former friend, America.

34. Congrats, Freedumbs. You handed the US over to Russia.

35. USA and Hungary basically have the same model of government now

36. At a certain point it requires conspiracy-level rationale to argue that he *isn’t* a Russian asset.

37. It’s no coincidence Hungary is the one EU country that is Putin friendly

38. Classic Krasnov.
