“It turns out they were protecting us from Russia”: in Germany they comment on Trump’s decision to partially withdraw troops

104

Germany is actively commenting on Trump’s decision on the readiness to withdraw more than 12 US troops. The US president, in his own words, plans to leave no more than 25 thousand American soldiers and officers on the territory of Germany.

What caused such a decision of the owner of the White House?



According to Donald Trump, Germany buys gas from Russia, and the United States at the same time all these years "defended Germany from Russia."

Trump:

And where is the logic here? They do not pay NATO as much as they owe. Their debts are billions of dollars. Should we protect them?

To date, according to official figures, in Germany there are about 36-37 thousand US troops. The planned reduction is one third.

After that, information appeared about the readiness of the United States to again tighten sanctions on the Nord Stream-2 project.

In the German party “Linke”, commenting on Trump’s decision, they noted that it was time to stop “acting toothless” and answer Washington.
It is proposed to impose sanctions against US senators who are promoting a new sanctions package.

It's time to stop throwing cotton balls in the USA. We must act in the same way as they do.

Meanwhile, the German government notes that the words that "the US is protecting the country from Russia" are puzzling. It is noted that in Berlin they believed the following: the presence of American troops is "a manifestation of Euro-Atlantic integration."

Comments by German readers in a number of German media:

This is amazing. They themselves have pogroms, fires, and clashes with the police in the cities, and they tell us where and when we should buy gas.

But if Mr. Trump does not want to “protect us from the Russians,” then why not withdraw his entire contingent. From whom will those 25 thousand American military men whom he plans to leave us “protect”?

Wow! It turns out that all this time I was protected from Russia. Thank you for saying. I didn’t know.

It is worth noting that the American contingent in Germany, in fact, is occupying. It was through his presence that the United States dictated and continues to dictate to Berlin its political and economic agenda.

          You know, I would have formulated it differently: generations of kinship that do not remember, moreover, not only in the states, have come up with many problems. After all, the actions of the “collective West” in relation to the public are aimed at breaking ties: historical, family, religious, cultural ... any traditional ties. It’s easy to control the rams that are constantly in four inches of the screen: I’ve inserted a bright 'carrot', threw the program and here you are capitol hill republic in the center of america.
          The idea that America defends Europe was likewise imprinted on the brains of generations, I hope this paradigm is crumbling.

    Trump decided once again to blackmail Germany, now with the sole purpose of making it buy only American gas. And the Germans, which is typical, suddenly kicked up and began to send verbal responses to the main "hegemon" and even ironic. I liked this

That the "allies" guaranteed themselves until 2099 full control over the German media, the use of its gold reserves, etc., by signing with the FRG on May 21, 1949 a certain secret Chancellor Act valid for 150 years.

    But Trump is right !!! Since 1945, from the moment when the Soviet army (we were then called in the West and continue to be called now - Russians) burst into the den of fascism - Germany, the United States began to defend the Germans. To whom did the crowds of ideological sadists from the SS and other Hitlerite warriors who burned villages in the USSR, together with residents, manufacturers and good-quality burghers, who were forcibly taken out of the USSR children and women for slaves, rushed to surrender? ?? It's over to the West under the wing of the United States and Great Britain, which have saved hundreds of thousands of war criminals. While the generation of World War II was alive, it remembered its crimes on the territory of the USSR and was afraid of the punishment from which they were protected by "American democracy" and paid the United States for this protection. Now the ungrateful descendants of Nazi Germany have ceased to be afraid and do not want to pay "gratitude" to the Americans. If I were Trump, I would create some kind of "popular seething" under the slogan - "We remember, we are afraid." Let the Germans not forget - they REMEMBER about the crimes of their ancestors, and are AFRAID that if anyone else has a bad idea to come to Russia with a weapon, it is unlikely that they will be "protected by the USA" again ...

      Please relieve me of suspicions about the "lack of historical memory" And "whitewashing crimes of Nazi Nazism"but contradicts you, and proves that you are wrong - calling all Germans war criminals, I.V. Stalin :

      "Hitlers come and go, but the German people remain. We will have to coexist with the German people. It would be completely wrong to assume that every German democrat or communist is necessarily a Nazi in disguise. The Soviet authorities will have to cooperate with some Germans."

        And I didn’t name all Germans ... But the fact that 99% of Germans approved the German invasion of the USSR in June 1941 is a fact. The fact that millions of Soviet people became slaves of the Germans is also a fact. In December 1939, the number of SS was 243,6 thousand people. By March 1945, the strength of the SS troops was 830 thousand people. And there were the Gestapo, and the SD, and members of the Nazi party in which there was a children's and youth wing. But there were other Germans - who were originally against Hitler, but there were very few ....

But especially for you, dear, I brought the number of Germans in the SS, if you cannot evaluate the picture as a whole, then add to the SS members of their families and relatives ... There were more opponents of Hitler only when it became clear that he had lost ... but after the Western allies entered the war, the "simple victims of Nazism" strenuously resisted the SA and joyfully raised their hands in front of the "Western liberators" .. .. The fear of the Germans for what they had done in the USSR really lived in them for a long time. In 1988, while serving in the GSVG, an old German woman from the Federal Republic of Germany gave me a lift in her car, so she stopped only because I was in uniform ...

        I'm afraid, but I want to object to Comrade Stalin.
        It is erroneous to believe that the people who gave the national registration to one or another hateful stream of thought are not responsible for what happened.
        This statement is only a way to relieve tension in society, for a possible punishment for the crimes committed by representatives of the people.
        Stalin thus reassured those who understood the likelihood of repression and against them. Regardless of whether they personally fought with weapons in their hands or not, whether they guarded Auschwitz and shot prisoners, or brought fresh greens and vegetables to the camp.
        And in the USSR, the issue of punishing Bandera, Vlasov, and voluntary assistants of the invaders was on the agenda.
        But how could Bandera underground or forest brothers exist for a long time without the active help of the local population?
        You do not.
        Here Stalin reassured.
        There will be nothing for your help.

          Again, Comrade Stalin will object to you with his article in Krasnaya Zvezda on February 9, 1945 (this is how Stalin issued a directive to the Army and reassured the Germans):

          OKO - FOR OKO, TOOTH - FOR TOOTH, - our grandfathers said. It is impossible to imagine a case in such a way that if, say, fascist two-legged animals allowed themselves to publicly rape women or were engaged in looting, then we must do the same to them in revenge. This has never happened and never can be. Our fighter will never allow anything like that, although he will not be guided here by pity, but only by self-esteem ...

            Yes, this is not about that.
            This is what it is about.
            If Banderaites until 1956 continued to provide armed resistance to the authorities, this only speaks about one thing - they had stable and powerful support among the local population.
            Food, medicine, weapons, and most importantly - information.
            Who provided all this?
            The locals.
            Have they been severely and inevitably punished?
            I doubt it.
            And if someone was convicted somewhere, then in my opinion the number of assistants is not comparable with the number of those punished.
            I don’t remember exactly, whether Kuchma, or Kravchuk proudly talked about how Bandera fat and carry a vodka.
            And then we wonder how the idea arose in the minds of the "brothers", after so many years of living together both in the Republic of Ingushetia and in the USSR, that Russians are quilted jackets, collorads, and a "moskolyak for a gilyak".
            This half-hearted work of Stalin and his law enforcement bodies today led to such deplorable consequences.

            It is not necessary to say that for an eye it is necessary to take away an eye.
            It is worth saying that any business should be brought to an end.
            Without the ability to reverse the story.
            Let me give you an example of the fact that I myself really do not like it so much.
            How did the Americans prevent the opportunity to even start thinking that indigenous people could make any claims to the conquerors?

                The country, one might say, was lucky.
                The excesses, excesses, shortcomings and everything that accompanies the formation of the person who came to power in a non-airless space is more than compensated by the fact that the person was able to 100% realize its full potential.

    Well, the American contingent in Germany is not a defender, but a full-fledged occupation corps. If they were defenders, they would have agreed to "Stalin's Note" back in 1952.
    The “Stalin Note” also known as the “March Note” or “Peace Note”, issued on March 10, 1952, put forward by the USSR, which suggested that all occupying powers (Great Britain, France, the USA, the USSR) immediately and with the participation of the German government begin the development of a peaceful agreement with Germany, the draft of which was attached. The USSR was ready to agree to the unification of the country, to allow the existence of the German army, military industry and the free activity of democratic parties and organizations, but on condition that Germany did not participate in military blocs.

    This led to the “Battle of the Notes” between the Western powers and the Union, as a result of which the West actually rejected the Soviet proposal, insisting that a united Germany should be free to join NATO.
