Now Trump's trying to racketeer the US troops in Germany and sell them off to Poland




.
@steveholland1
asks
@realDonaldTrump
if he'd consider redeploying troops from Germany to Poland, and what signal the withdrawal sends Russia

@realDonaldTrump
repeats lie about NATO "dues" and claims Poland would pay for US troops, as if the US military is a protection racket.




I wonder how much the price tag is ? Would anyone be surprised if our troops in Germany suddenly get re-stationed in Poland for a cut of the moolah.


Well that took long....update, i was right




President Trump says “we will probably” be moving some U.S. troops from Germany to Poland.

so Trumpolini is just bullshitting about this. Ain't gonna happen. Also I don't think we want our european forces that far east for strategic reasons, but I'm no general. Then again neither is Cmdr. Bone Spurs.
