The US should apologize to Europe for still having military bases there 75 years after WWII.

really?

you fuckers started TWO WORLD WARS

seems you need babysitting

No, read the thread. All these patriots are happy that we have NATO so the US can be drawn into another world war if someone invades Albania or Montenegro. Brilliant thinking.

Forever?

OP, like all democrats, doesn't weild the kind of intellect or knowledge base to even possess a valid opinion. Much less to actually share it.

So STFU

Im actually a Conservative with some logic and reason. Unfortunately, it is you who is unable to state a "valid opinion." My opinion is clearly explained throughout this thread.

they need to go in and re-occupy Germany.

We never left. Most Germans live closer to an active US military base than most Americans do.

You should fucking be! It destroyed whole Europe in the end cause of it. Just look at it today.

Just look at it!

That is your product.

Your comprehension skills are lacking.

You clearing have no clue as to why we never left, and why we probably can’t for the foreseeable future. The EU is a joke.

The US gov should apologize to the citizens of the US for spending our tax money on ungrateful Europeans.

I don't get it, what should we be grateful for?

You kept Russian brothers away!!

It’s time the EU pays us to protect them.

The OP is clueless, we had to be there because the EU refuses to protect themselves. This has been true for the last 75 years.

Shut d afuck up! We want to be overrun by Russia so we can start winning again.

the U.S. just wants to make sure the Krauts don't try any funny stuff.

soon the game board will be flipped and Americans will learn to be the underdog.

no more petrodollar bitches, no more network of foreign land bases to run illegal business.

you will learn to keep your mouth shut.

if Eurasia happens that is game over forever for US.

70% world population with the best education, resources, energy,high tech logistic etc.

and is not even a if...it will happen.

"Europe" is a bunch of puppet regimes, dear cousin. If your country was occupied by a foreign military, you would not consider yourself independent and rightfully so. You would also not consider anything your own government has to say about this military presence as valid because they are propped up by a foreign power. We would love to opt out of NATO so that you can keep the money invested in our occupation. US forces leaving would make everybody happy, including us.

We started two EUROPEAN wars. You got in in because presidents Wilson and Roosevelt were traitors to your country and decided to follow Great Britain into war just like the rest of their colonies and dominions.

Americans already are the underdog. Check Syria, Crimea, Georgia 2008...

God willing!

The USA is allowed to keep their bases worldwide due to the fact they are the world police so it would seem.

Some truth in that. Sadly.

So you want to babysit FOREVER without even considering the consequences that I list. I do not.

Or maybe having an outside protector for 75 years removed the reason to learn to "protect themselves?"

No need. U.S. will soon withdraw from Europe. And will leave its allies alone with Russia.

Good point.

Yep, there is such a thing as "killing with kindness."

Odd way of saying it considering the financial costs but I do see the validity of the other points made here. Everything from the endless "babysitting" on one hand to the "occupying forces" on the other. Overall, I think it is time to withdraw US forces from WWII countries and end NATO. The reasons for NATO no longer exist and it is really just an excuse to keep the US military there forever.
