The US says it might pull out some troops from Germany amid rifts over a naval mission in the Persian Gulf and defense spending. The remarks from the US ambassador come ahead of two presidential trips to Europe.
The United States is considering withdrawing some of the US troops stationed in Germany, with Poland mooted as a possible new deployment, the US ambassador to Germany has said.
The threat of withdrawal comes amid ongoing differences between Berlin and Washington over Germany's contribution to NATO and a current spat caused by the German refusal to take part in a US-led naval mission in the Persian Gulf.
"It is actually offensive to assume that the US taxpayer must continue to pay to have 50,000-plus Americans in Germany, but the Germans get to spend their surplus on domestic programs," US Ambassador Richard Grenell told the DPA news agency, in comments carried widely by German media on Friday.
His remarks come after the US ambassador to Poland, Georgette Mosbacher, tweeted that her country would be happy for the American troops in Germany to move there instead.

Are you purposely trying not to be taken seriously?
Me? I'm perfectly happy to leave Europe vulnerable if that's what they want.
vulnerable to whom ?? it wasn't Russia that uploaded malware to our power grids it was the USA via NSA and GCHQ in London ... so i say again who is the real threat to the EU ??

Technically Europeans in that area needed intervention at least twice in the last century.
Promise to behave and stop lifting crazed eugenics and racists laws from democrats?
What America Taught the Nazis (Whitman is a progressive democrat so he cannot admit that those responsible here were democrats top to bottom.) Whitmans book has good transcripts but the title would be far more accurate to say "What Democrats taught the Nazis" since every Jim Crow racist law was thought up, created, signed into law, and enforced...By Democrats.
"Whitman’s “smoking gun” is the transcript of a June 5, 1934, conference of leading German lawyers gathered to exchange ideas about how best to operationalize a racist regime. The record reflects how the most extreme among them, who relied on Krieger’s synoptic scholarship, were especially drawn to American legal codes based on white supremacy. The main conceptual idea was Freisler’s. Race, he argued, is a political construction. In both America and Germany, the importance and meaning of race for the most part had been determined less by scientific realities or social conventions than by political decisions enshrined in law."
In the 1930s, the Germans were fascinated by the global leader in codified racism—the United States.

See, your misunderstanding stems from confusing party affiliation with ideology. Back then it was the conservatives in the Democratic Party who 'codified' racism. Hell, back then there were lots of liberal Republicans, too, and still were in my lifetime.
I'm pro moving American troops out of Europe.
It's a lot cheaper to station American troops in America. If we see that the Russians are about to invade, we can send troops back to Europe.
And Europe really needs to start taking care of it's defense more.

a conservative bastion and attracted the southern conservatives (Dixiecrats) away from the Democratic Party.
You mean Southern Dixiecrats who all turned Republican after Nixon promised them he would put civil rights on the back burner. It's not the Democrats fault that the racist South refused to vote for the party of Lincoln for 100 years. It was Democrats that passed and signed the Civil Rights amendment that ended segregation. The racist South turned red after that and remains so to this day with the blessings of the GOP.
I agree, there is no reason for us to be stationed in Germany.
Russia isn’t going to start anything. I don’t see Russia as a threat.
If Russia was going to secure possession of parts of Europe they would never have relinquished control over the Eastern Bloc countries and Baltic Countries.
