President Donald Trump says the US will slash the number of American troops in Germany by nearly 10,000 from current levels of about 35-thousand. He tied the move to what he called  Berlin's failure to meet its NATO spending commitments. The move has shaken the NATO military alliance and Germany, which serves as a base for many of the US troops who deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan. The US President says he's acting because Berlin has not been paying its share of NATO defense spending. We'll explore the possible fallout from the pullout.

Why only pulling out 10k soldiers only? Remove every single troop from foreign soils.

We should have did this decades ago. Once the Berlin Wall fell we should have withdrawn all of our troops from the fatherland.

ALWAYS have a plan b. Things change and you should never depend on somebody else to protect you.
I dont blame the US. Why pay for a friend, especially when your friend keeps avoiding to pay for dinner consistently
