Should the United States remove our troops and bases from Europe and relocate them to other more reliable partners?

I understand that normal people may not understand that NATO is a defensive alliance, or even what that means, but Rubio damn sure does.

Rubio knows NATO has no obligation to support the US when it is the attacker. 🤦‍♂️

Also it’s an excellent example of how failing to build allied consensus and going to war “unilaterally” is an extraordinarily bad idea.

Smoke 💨 screen to cover bad policy decisions… blame your allies for not helping you in a war you started and didn’t mention or ask for their help with until AFTER (they read about it in the newspaper). Then things got messy; you DEMAND their involvement🤦🏻‍♂️

Not to mention you’ve been talking smack about how they’re a freeloading PAPER TIGER now for the better part of a decade.

If referring to the federal government, yes it should.

A Europe that has always emphasized diplomacy, even with a despised and murderous regime like the Islamic Republic, is now turning against its own ally, the United States, and is no longer even willing to engage in diplomacy, instead constantly taking an oppositional stance.

This is extremely dangerous for Europe’s security. The continent stands directly exposed to threats from its enemies, and now more than ever, the West depends on the strength and unity of NATO.

I see that the UK and other European countries are less than willing to cooperate with America in this endeavor because the some of their populations are not in favor. But that brings up another matter IMHO. How did Europe become Muslim? How short our Christian memories are. The UK has all but overlooked the word of God within the Church of England. This is pertinent in their recent choice of Archbishop.
And how short are the memories of the Allies of WWII. Meaning England and France would be speaking German if it weren't for America.

About 20 years ago I was bored and read a UN study on migration, or something to that effect, and based on numbers and birth rates, most of Western Europe would be Muslim majority by 2060. I kinda chuckled back then, but they were pretty spot on. This has to be orchestrated by someone/some group. We raced the past 4 years to try and beat European illegal immigrant rates, knowing full well the outcome. Call it deep state, NWO, or global progressivism, but it’s all for a nefarious purpose

NATO has outlived its usefulness. It's the international relations equivalent of a labor union. Necessary once upon a time, but now just an expensive hassle.

(For the record, I've been anti-NATO for a long time now. My views on NATO have not been changed or influenced by current events)

One of the original purposes of NATO was to prevent them from keep killing each other in World Wars. It's time to step away and let them go on their own.

Probably time to start thinking about it. Several of those countries will be Muslim majority in 15-20 years. The Baltics, Poland and Hungary would be my choices, if we want to maintain forward deployed troops in Europe

Yes. NATO has no problem leeching off of us but won’t help when called upon.

Bunch of socialist leeches.

Europe is very reliable. It is Trump who is not reliable.

I don't mind reducing the size of the military. We are spending way too much money that we don't have on the military.

Why would we give up strategic footing? Those bases aren't only about protecting someone else, they are about timely reaction around the world.

NATO denying US basing and overflight is inexcusable, as is their failure to help with the Strait of Hormuz. No one is asking them to bomb Iran, just let us use our bases and help escort ships. If they can’t do that, NATO has no purpose.

Why do (R) constantly want to spend 💰that we don’t have, devastate a local economy and build a new one in some puppet country that will follow MAGA like a lapdog?
Geez! Has 🇺🇸lost all sense of diplomacy? Is our entire foreign policy based on the whining of a fool with dementia in the Oval Office?

Why do we spend more on Defense of Europe than they are willing to spend on themselves?
They have shown they are incapable of even helping us if attacked because they don’t have ships or planes to transport troops

And that has nothing to do with why we are in NATO

There is no reason for NATO to step in with aid to 🇺🇸 or 🇮🇱 - like our OWN CONGRESS, NATO wasn’t informed or consented prior to the U.S. attacking a foreign power without provocation. 🇮🇱 isn’t a NATO nation - and no NATO nation was attacked.
These numbnuts that want to quit NATO because they wouldn’t help a war WE created out of thin air and 🇮🇱propaganda are just that - numbnuts.
Vote out the MAGAts in November.

Europe is more than willing to have the USA spend our treasure to cover their a$$ but are unwilling to be there when we need them.
