If that's the way he wants it fine! We can start by pulling all of our servicemen out and closing our military bases in the Deutch Republic.

Germany's Merz vows 'independence' from Trump's America ...

Merz accused America of "meddling" with their elections because Trump endorsed his more conservative rival.

So he wants to show us he's not going to knuckle under to Trump, is he? Well a man accepts the consequences.

That means Germany will have to build an armed force capable of defending the country without any help from the U.S. It means paying for everything on it's own. If they want to actually do that more power to them, but I have little doubt they don't want to do that.

What Merz wants is to shoot his mouth off and act tough at our expense. Rush Limbaugh used to seethe about that, about these countries that want our help and our dollars but then want to trash talk about us.

Put up or shut up Merz!

BTW No alliance in history has lasted as long in an unchanged fashion as has this NATO alliance. It is much the same now as when it was first established (albeit it's much bigger) and the proximal cause of it's existence died in the nineteen nineties as the Soviet Union collapsed. There was no reason for NATO to remain in existence and had it disbanded the Russians probably wouldn't have elected Putin in the first place. The idea that we have to maintain it in it's current form is unrealistic, to put it mildly. Time to revamp it, or perhaps even allow it to die. It's outlived it's usefulness.
