I suspect that's governed under an umbrella NATO Status of Forces Agreement that Washington might not want to see lapse. Germany has been essential for hospital services and transportation during the Middle East wars.<br /><br />My sense is that the Europeans have relied on the presence of Uncle Sam, together with the European Union, to keep the Euro states from reverting to their old ways of endless bloodshed. It has been a long time since they went at each other hammer and tong.<br /><br />Perhaps they now realize they can no longer have it both ways. There's been some talk of restructuring NATO along its original, Western European, lines to cut loose the authoritarian states such as Hungary, Poland, possibly Austria. There have also been proposals for the EU to be restructured, hiving off Eastern Europe and perhaps also jettisoning the Mediterranean countries because of the adverse consequences of climate change.<br /><br />These are "exciting times" indeed, Karl.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-88569040048315751432018-05-17T17:34:58.121-07:002018-05-17T17:34:58.121-07:00HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Until such time as these cowards close down the American military bases on their soil, they'll do exactly what Herr Trumpenfuhrer demands, and they will grin and bear it.<br /><br />Seriously though, the time for Europe to "resist" America came when the Iraq War crime started. They are 15 years too late in recognizing that being a vassal state is never a good thing.Karl Kolchaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-87101922938596740812018-05-17T14:11:04.205-07:002018-05-17T14:11:04.205-07:00Who knows what will be left when he's finished...<br />Who knows what will be left when he's finished tearing America apart, Owen.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-14718726597544729302018-05-17T11:24:34.778-07:002018-05-17T11:24:34.778-07:00"It is impossible to overstate what Trump has..."It is impossible to overstate what Trump has dismantled in the last 16 months."<br /><br />The Great Builder is a Great Wrecking Ball.
