OK which European country will shut down the US military base first?

[malaise]

Your guess

[gibraltar72]

1. No idea

but I bet it is going to be hard on the troops stationed in the countries Trump shat on!

[left-of-center2012]

2. Our bases put money into their economies

Our military men and women spend a lot of their pay locally.
So I'm guessing the countries turn up their noses at Trump but like the money.

8. The UK has already shut down many bases..

a lot are encouraged to

3. I believe the European nations

have adult supervision and wouldn't do anything so petty and spiteful.

4. None. They know the Trump regime has an expiration date

[SwissTony]

6. Exactly. They know there is a difference between Trump and the USA.

And they still remember Obama, of course. Sweet memories!

5. Just what Putin wants

But can't say I blame em. The USA is totally untrustworthy under the Trumps.

[melman]

7. None

That absolutely will not happen.

9. Funny you should ask.

Last night it popped into my mind that Germany would tell Trump to take his base back, or to pay rent and taxes.
I know we have more than one over there, my mind was referencing the whole collection...

but given the SHIT he has dished out to Germany, it would seem like a proper request.

11. That's what i was thinking

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. Great minds....

I love the idea of Merkel handing his ass to him. He deeply dislikes strong powerful women.

13. She's light years more intelligent to boot with a

PhD in Quantum Chemistry

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. Well, THAT explains the hard stare she was giving Donnie.

She musta been trying to figure out all that empty space in his head.

10. Germany and France. The Franco-German alliance, basically.

Slow phaseout as the EU Airforce begins to take shape. US Army will slowly be replaced out with the new EU one.

14. Interesting

You know when Macron greeted her first I thought it was all protocol - they are a United Europe so the Con had to wait. That was a great moment.

16. EU proposed a "common military force" last year.

Juncker proposes EU military headquarters

14 September 2016

The European Union needs a military headquarters to work towards a common military force, the Commission president has told MEPs in Strasbourg.

But Mr Juncker said a common military force "should be in complement to Nato". "More defence in Europe doesn't mean less transatlantic solidarity."
