@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social What an idiot! Bases in the EU, and in this case, Germany, are strategically necessary for operations that can’t be carried out directly from the U.S. We don’t need protection from the U.S., and certainly not from Trump and his sycophants! If our politicians hadn’t been such wimps for so long, Putin would have been history long ago. The only good thing about Trump is that the EU is slowly waking up; people are finally realizing who is the real giant in this game.
