Trump is withdrawing troops from Germany

Trump is withdrawing 12,000 troops from Germany, leaving behind another 24,000 as a way to squeeze the Germans, a threat to the Germans that if they did not do as told by the Americans, the Americans would abandon Germany. This is how the Americans thin, still living in the years of Cold War and the Americans are there to protect Germany from the Soviet Union. The Americans could not see through the changes taking place and a new world is developing. The Americans are still intoxicated in the myth that Germany needs to be protected by the Americans from the Russians, not the Soviet Union, and Japan also needs to be protected by them against China.

Soviet Union is no longer a pact that could threaten Europe after its breakup. Russia is a state no bigger than Germany or France and militarily and economic not in the mould of the Soviet Union. Other than the possession of nuclear weapons, the conventional forces of Russia would not be in a position to overrun Europe today. Germany in its own strength could take on Russia on its own. Remember, Germany alone overran the whole of Europe and could have been the German Empire if the Americans did not join in the war in WW2. Russia was never an issue to German military power. It is very insulting to tell the Germans that they need to be protected by the Americans from the Russians.

Similarly, Japan was the Empire of the East, overran China and South East Asia. Do the Japanese need to be protected by the Americans against China when they almost conquered China in WW2? Are the Japanese so hapless, useless and weak as a nation and people to fear China and cannot survive without the American protection? This is the same insulting proposition the Americans are telling the Japanese. But look at the behaviour of the Japanese, it is easy to notice that the Japanese still think they are more powerful than China and still want to keep the Diaoyu Islands as Japanese with no fear of China. Japan is a power in its own right, not a little poor and weak country that needs American protection.

When clown Trump and his big lump of fat go around threatening the Germans and Japanese that they would withdraw American troops if the two did not pay up, thinking that the Germans and Japanese would beg for them to stay, did they know what the Germans and Japanese were thinking? Both are very proud people and had empire ambitions. They are not stupid and would want American troops out of their country asap if given a chance. They don't need American protection. It is a very shameful thing to the Germans and Japanese to be told that they need American troops in their countries to protect them. What utter rubbish.

American troops in Germany and Japan is subjugation, that the two countries are part of the American Empire, semi colonies, not independent states. This situation is definitely unacceptable to Germany and Japan. It is an insult that they have to live with after being defeated in WW2. They cannot be free and independent countries when the Americans have troops in their soil to protect the American Empire.

Quietly both would like to kick out the Americans as soon as possible in the name of national pride and independence. The Americans are still dreaming in their own lies and own myths that the Germans and Japanese need their protection. Russia is no threat to Germany. China would have to think very carefully to attack Japan.

So, what is Trump and his big fat liar thinking?

PS. The real reason behind all the American threats.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As U.S. lawmakers plot to stop one of Moscow's most important projects in Europe, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, lobbyists supporting it are busier than ever but disclosing few details of their work, according to government filings and current and former U.S. officials.

The pipeline linking Russian gas fields to Western Europe has become a lightning rod of contention in U.S.-Russia relations, with the Trump administration concerned it would dangerously expand the region’s energy dependence on Moscow but backers, including in Europe, saying the gas is needed.

U.S. President Donald Trump has already signed a sanctions bill that delayed construction on the $11 billion project, wholly-owned by Russia's state-run Gazprom <GAZP.MM> and headed by Alexei Miller, a longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. But lawmakers fearful the measures are not enough to prevent the pipeline’s completion are contemplating further action.
