Chump's Troop Withdrawal From Germany

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/29/politics/us-withdraw-troops-germany/index.html

snip:
Approximately 11,900 US troops, a mix of Army and Air Force units, will be removed from Germany to meet Trump's mandated cap of 25,000 US forces in Germany, according to a senior US defense official, a number higher than the figure of 9,500 that was used when the reduction was first announced.

Chump is the grift to Putin that keeps on grifting. As a matter of perspective when I was stationed in Germany in the late 70s the United States had 250,000 troops in Germany. Now 25,000. The point was it was much easier for Russia to reinforce it's forces in Europe then it was for us to bring back troops to Germany from the United States. Geography has not changed. Only now we have a traitor in the WH.
