The Pentagon closes its air base in Stuttgart, Germany

Until the end of this year, the American military base in German Stuttgart will be closed. This is the official representative of the US military. Earlier in the Pentagon it was reported that they plan to reduce the number of military bases in European countries in order to save up to half a billion dollars annually. Why, then, should the Pentagon not at all close all military bases in Europe for full-scale economy ...

German edition Sueddeutsche Zeitung writes that the Germans associate the military base in Stuttgart exclusively with negativity. The fact is that it was from this base that the coordination of strikes was carried out. drones on live targets in the Middle East and African states.

Representatives of the Left Party in Germany say that there should never be a military threat from the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, and therefore support the closure of other US military bases located in the country.

By the end of 2015, the base in Stuttgart will be used by the Bundeswehr.

At the moment, in Germany, at least 50 of thousands of US military personnel are at various military bases.

Yeah, and they left Afghanistan ....

[Grandfather bear]

And Yugoslavia was not bombarded, and the grunts were not dragged against the Russians, and they did not inherit in Macedonia, and the IG did not supply weapons .....
Just lambs ... and wolf faces.

[Baikonur]

Grunts - GREAT !!!!

[vodolaz]

Fell down, and we’ll somehow agree with Europe.

[figwam]

But where are the planes thrown?

[Baloo]

I also wanted to ask. In Kosovo? After the defeat of Yugoslavia on TV, they showed a story about the largest airbase in the geyrop in Kosovo, the transfer of more than 100 attack helicopters and the longest runway in Europe.

What will we agree on ??
I don’t understand this propaganda wave at the close of the base. Just read the excerpt from their Wiki and you may realize that it doesn’t solve anything strategically!

List of US military bases abroad
Germany (more than 100 thousand people, including infantry and tank units with a total number of more than 70 thousand people; 15 military bases of the NE, 4 army bases and one logistics base - almost a quarter of all foreign Pentagon bases)

[Civil]

But what do we not write about that the financing of IL-114 and new icebreakers has been stopped?

[An60]

They are being financed in Stuttgart ?????

[not Russian]

As for the icebreakers, there is an intensive melting of ice, but at this stage of historical development, combat aircraft are more needed. I think so. I also do not understand why they put a minus when a person is purely humanly interested

[navigator]

There is enough to ensure navigation along the Northern Sea Route. Today the icebreaker fleet can deliver 5 million tons of cargo annually along the Northern Sea Route; the real cargo traffic is 1,2 million tons. "Carrots" carry Canadians-tourists to the North Pole so as not to stand in a sludge. Atomic ones practically stand in the summer. Although the problem of updating the fleet exists, because the construction of one icebreaker ~ 8 years.

[Xergey]

Not before that, things like closing the US base are more important right now, as we close everything, believe me we’ll build not only icebreakers but all of Europe)

[avvg]

America will never leave Germany, despite the closure of its airbase (in the words of Medvedev "optimizes") in Stuttgart.

[Baikonur]

Yeah, Ponty is all beef! Like the Nobel Peace Prize SAME!

[Motherland Russia]

Nonsense is all that.
It’s just that the air bases will be moved closer to our country. And that’s all ...
Why are they in the rear.

[Wolverine]

Well, here are the first bells, as in that movie-trust that burst.

[djqnbdjqnb]

If, due to a lack of green bases, they began to reduce bases in Germany, then their affairs are very bad. Although, maybe this is just a political gesture - they say that we are leaving. Although we still will not give up gold.

[Eugene-Eugene]

Due to lack of green. Another interesting thing is that from a military point of view it would be rational to leave foreign bases that provide foreign political domination of the United States, and, conversely, reduce military presence in the states where the threats are minimal. However, the congress will not allow this, since it represents the interests of local elites who are not interested in losing jobs in the constituencies they represent. The second reason: in the face of growing social protest, the Sun becomes the guarantor of order, which does not allow reducing the National Guard. As a result, as the financial difficulties in the states increase, we will observe a reduction in their military presence in the world. Although there was also a somewhat non-standard assessment: on the threshold of World War II, the Americans transferred their troops to the metropolis in order to fight by proxy, and then, after their opponents exhausted their forces, to enter the game.

[siberalt]

NATO requires European members to increase spending, and Germany has rested. They want their own army there. And the fact that they close the base is a good example for Europe.

[Ne_Rossiyanen]

it's time for them to blame them on their continent.

[passenger]

Pure water logistics. Cost minimization. Move the base east. There is an armament and militarization of eastern Europe.

[73bor]

Well, I removed it from the language at the time, this base was an advanced object of the Air Force, and now it is in the rear, and the advanced ones are now in Poland and the Baltic.

[Alexey Boukin]

Poland and the Baltic States will be pleased to deploy American military bases on their territory. I can imagine how their yapping towards Russia will intensify then.

[svetoruss]

Earlier in the Pentagon it was reported that they plan to reduce the number of military bases in European countries

We smile and wave! (C)

[morpogr]

In order to save money, bring down your ocean bases with your bases from Europe. And the air will become cleaner and peace will come.

[Grigorievich]

We close it in Germany, and open it closer to us. From the rearrangement of the terms, the sum does not change.

[barclay]

That's right. In Germany they will close, but in Estonia or Lithuania they will open. The Baltic states will simply be in ecstasy, and will begin to yap at Russia even louder.

[Oman 47]

Mattresses in Germany alone - 60 thousand snouts.
The occupation has been going on for 70 years.

[Junior, I]

Where did you get 10 thousands of Americans?
Where does such fresh information come from?

[Lenin]

All empires grow first, and then crumble like a house of cards. It is impossible to embrace the immense, the strength is not enough !!!!

[Dart2027]

Even Machiavelli wrote that you need to balance your desire for conquest with real opportunities.

[am808s]

Che rejoice these flying coffins will move to the Baltic states, they have not changed much there yet.

This is good, it will be easy to fill up if something happens.

[Tribuns]

While Germany is a member of the aggressive NATO bloc, where the Yankees run everything, spreading their "nuclear umbrella" over all of Europe, we don’t care whether there will be more or less one American base in Germany ... Today, due to cost savings, the base was closed, and tomorrow, for other reasons, it was opened somewhere ...
Russia's answer to NATO is obvious - strengthening the power of the Russian army and navy, including through the presence on the bases of its potential allies ...

[S_Baykala]

The Balts, the Poles, pumped up with fear of "Russian aggression" will be an advanced outpost (the main combat force) and amerovsky bases will be moved from west to east. Figs they go where. Reduction, yeah, I believe.

[Ignatius]

Rejoice early! They will take away ... the base from Stuttgart, so a new one will appear, much more to the east - somewhere near Riga, Tartu or Kovno ...

[kil 31]

We do not have to rejoice, they will move to us closer and cheaper. This is all salt, in other countries it’s cheaper. That's how they save.

[rotmistr60]

And if we approach this taking into account conspiracy theology, then we can assume that this is the payment of the United States of Germany for the infamous Russophobic policy of Merkel. Moreover, the Americans are not losing anything. As already mentioned above, one can advance even more east and closer to Russia.

[DPN]

And what good is it, they just went to the Baltic states, it is much closer to Moscow, Russia is still losing, we have NO such opportunity.

[poquello]

Representatives of the Left Party in Germany say that a military threat should never come from the territory of Germany

Left are right

[RuslanNN]

Yankee, come on, bye!

[Olegater]

Dear forum users, the closure of the air base in Germany, it seems to me, is a consequence of the espionage scandal between pin ...... and these Germans. At the disclosure of such facts as industrial espionage, listening to politicians and blackmail in the German economy by the mattress, this is a logical demand of the injured party. And now we will look, and where this base will open. It reminds me of physics somewhere gone, but somewhere arrived. And this profit is likely to be near our border.

[INF]

Let them spend their money on Yellowstone.

[Thunderbolt]

And where will the landless American pilots go? I suspect that in Romania and Poland.

[Baikonur]

The Pentagon closes its air base in Stuttgart, Germany

it would be better if the pindo-gon was closed !!!

[Zomanus]

Well, we can already say that America is in crisis. Caution while talking, really.

[Andrey Draganov]

It can be seen mattresses already on the outskirts agreed to open.

[Russia]

It (the base) will be transferred to the use of the Bundeswehr, and the Yusov planes will remain there. NAT (d) Oh - after all !. Only the Germans will pay now. Chancellor manual, will not buckle.
And the funds released will be thrown to create some new base in Poland or at the Baltic states. Closer to Russia.

[Vladimir Pozlnyakov]

Only the walls of the Capitol, like the walls of the Reichstag, should serve as blackboards for Russian paratroopers!

Unfortunately, the Great War is coming soon, probably in 1-2 years. Two bridgeheads have already been decided - Ukraine and the Baltic states. During this period, they will train and arm the Ukrainian Natsiks and gradually transfer their troops to sprats. are no longer needed - far from the place of the future conflict. Ours already know this - hastily ordering what our defense industry can release now. There are more and more indirect signs. I came across an article about the reason for Carrie’s emergency visit to Sochi: http: //warfiles.ru/show-88241-sotrudnik-razvedki-ssha-predupredil-rossiyu-o-nap

Of course, it can be a "duck", but it fits very well with recent events.

You have a great chance about financing a project from your pocket!

[FlyEngine]

They call us invaders, but our bases are not located in the territory of the country defeated in World War II.
