This is a great big gift to Trump's friend Putin.

LOL, what does this have to do with Putin? (Hint: Nothing.) Those troops should have been pulled out decades ago, this, if true, is a gift to the American taxpayer. Assuming they come back to the US and aren't stationed somewhere else equally expensive on the globe.

The troops are there as a part of NATO. Fewer troops weakens NATO, which is to Russia's (and Putin's) benefit. Putin wants NATO weakened.

@snytiger6 NATO should have been dissolved when the Soviet Union collapsed, it serves zero purpose except to create an excuse for endless pork barrel military spending.

@Druvius The USSR may have dissolved, but Russia has emerged as a threat, as they have invaded several countries, interfered with the Brexit vote, the 206 and 2018 U.S. elections as well as the elections in other countries. Not to mention Russia offered (and may still be offering) bounties to the Taliban for killing U.S. troops. Russia is still a threat and NATO still serves a purpose.
