"Further from the borders of Russia": the West comments on the transfer of the American headquarters from Germany to Belgium

The West is commenting on the decision of the command of the US troops to transfer the headquarters of American forces in Europe from Germany to Belgium. Until now, such a headquarters was located in the German Stuttgart, and now the Pentagon has decided to move it to the Belgian Mons.

This was announced by the commander of the united US forces in Europe, General Tod Walters.

This statement was made against the background of news with specific figures for the withdrawal of American troops from the FRG. So, the head of the Pentagon said that the United States is withdrawing 11,9 thousand of its military from Germany, of which 6,4 thousand will return to the United States, and the rest will be transferred to other NATO countries. The largest number of the remaining will be taken to Italy and the same Belgium.

Warsaw is very jealous of these steps by Washington. Polish media made it clear that the Polish authorities had "hope" that several thousand American troops would be deployed from Germany. Now it turns out that "at best" - several hundred. Also in Poland, it was believed that the headquarters of the US European Command could be transferred to their territory, but Washington chose Belgium.

The United States itself has different opinions on the transfer of the headquarters of the European Command. In particular, there were also statements that "the headquarters decided to move west - further from the borders of Russia." Moreover, some see this as almost a "conspiracy" between Trump and Putin, while others see it as "the goal of more protecting the American military administration from possible cyberattacks from Russia."

Meanwhile, commenting on the withdrawal of a significant part of the troops from Germany, Trump reiterated that he does not understand why it is necessary to "protect Germany from Russia" if Germany "buys energy resources from Russia for billions of dollars."

Poland should not be a beloved wife, not see the Commonwealth Well, you are doing it, tears are already welling up.

Mons, or rather a village in the common people called shape has always been 'bold' goal: there are probably a dozen headquarters. And parts of the headquarters withdrawn from Germany have always been in shape. I think in the General Staff the squad of forces and means increased, to guarantee ...

Poland should be, as usual, a place through which Europe attacks Russia in order to get some cabbage soup, and then all this is rolled back. Periodically, because of this, such a state generally disappeared from the political map ... But history teaches only that no one learns anything!

Of course, I have some gaps in my knowledge about building the Internet (especially military, "closed") , therefore, someone, tell me - AS A PHYSICAL DISTANCE from "points А to the point В" in the network, affects the safety (invulnerability) of data?

"The goal is to better protect the American military administration from possible cyberattacks from Russia."
This is the first time I see that distance to the target matters for cyberattacks.

Well, American commanders are pretty straightforward and not very intricate.
What is firing range, they learned back in the 60s and 70s. And all these little tsyferki on the screens ... well, how can they be compared to the blow of the butt in hand-to-hand combat, for example?

These categories, of course, cannot be compared. just owning some "tsyferkami"the enemy can change the course of the DB and the war as a whole ...

Who, then, is America protecting in Europe? And from whom?

[mitroha]

Those who pay, from those who don't. And all together from Russia, but they won't fight with us, because those who pay pay less than 4%, and better than 6% of GDP

[NDR-791]

It looks like they are trying to kill two birds with one stone as always. On the one hand, this is dispersal (command farther to Belgium, troops closer to Poland). On the other hand, Germany "does not report meat" so the troops will withdraw from them

Exactly ! The main thing is from whom. Russia, I myself left the GDR, as well as from Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania. And even earlier from Austria. You over there in your Europe will overreach before Russia attacks you, or you have forgotten history when each other was gnawing at each other's throats. And then there was no trace of the United States, it was still licking English bowlers.

Is the Internet different in Belgium, or will the difference in distance of several hundred kilometers affect the speed of hackers' work? They froze and did not understand what. Carry, do not carry, but modern weapons will still reach the control point, well, maybe to calm down with a difference of a couple of seconds.

Further from the borders of Russia ": the West comments on the transfer of the American headquarters from Germany to Belgium

Charleville - it is further and more worthy, history, however. Macron will let in, though, these Frenchmen ....

[tralflot1832]

It looks like cartoons have worked. They take us to the range of our promising weapons. And the Poles let them sort it out themselves. When it smells like fried, the "penguins" get their brains cut.

Trump reiterated that he does not understand why it is necessary to "protect Germany from Russia" if Germany "buys energy resources from Russia for billions of dollars."

Just why did the US decide that Germany needs to be protected from Russia, which does not threaten it. There is a threat, it is a threat to the US market, but it is economic, not military. In short, the staff in their role, if it does not work out with the head, we will act by force.

[carstorm 11]

the goal is to protect the American military command more from possible cyberattacks from Russia) i.e. the further, the less the probability of a cyberattack?))))

[kind]

the further, the less the probability of a cyberattack?))))

Sure! The earth is flat

Trump reiterated that he does not understand why it is necessary to "protect Germany from Russia" if Germany "buys energy resources from Russia for billions of dollars."

And it is unaware to Donald that if Russia seizes Germany, then Russia will no longer sell energy resources to Germany for dollars, but will deliver to its domestic market in rubles.

[APASUS]

Why did the Americans decide not to aggravate relations with the Russians to Belgium, or did Poland ask badly?

[Mikhail3]

The scenario of a combined, nuclear-biological war against us is becoming more and more real.

I agree 100%. let herself, herself, herself!

Now the psheks are taking their F-35s away from our borders, now their striped headquarters are withdrawing. What is it for?

Then psheks take their F-35s away from our borders, now the striped headquarters are withdrawing. What is it for?

As an option, they are afraid that after taking off they will immediately find themselves abroad, in particular with us. And the second, in which case, we will sow the airfield with mines, and not a single penguin will take off, but will remain targets for missiles.

[Charik]

Maybe Germany is no longer afraid of the Russian threat and pendals to the Amers on the withdrawal of troops

[aszzz888]

Warsaw is very jealous of these steps by Washington.

The Merikatos threw the pshek at this stage. However, as well as nemchuru.

The Americans are already openly afraid of something. Don't even hesitate
