Lieutenant General Christian Freuding fears the longstanding military partnership between the two allies is unravelling under President Trump’s administration
The Pentagon has “cut off contact” between American defence officials and their German counterparts, according to the head of Germany’s army.
The United States has traditionally treated Germany as one of its most important European allies. It is thought to have about 35,000 soldiers stationed at German bases such as Ramstein and Stuttgart, which serve as staging posts for American operations across Africa and the Middle East.
Since President Trump’s return to power in January, the relationship between the countries has become markedly cooler.



Oh, wee, so cool. If he had supplied em with more than just that, Russia’s aggression would’ve been pushed back.
Do you two think that being a asset/,spy/double agent means you also don’t do things to make you look less suspicious?
If he pulled out of Nato too soon, it wouldn’t look good. He made it into a show. Gave it reasons to be done.
Oh, he gave some Javs? That at most just slowed down the Russians? Ya, if he would have given them tanks, Helicopters, jets, and supplies, the Russians would’ve been beaten back.
It’s called making a scene. He’s being told what he can and can’t do. The only saving grace is that Russia is obviously overconfident, and they all believe they are some unstoppable force.
Ukraine has made do with what they got and have proven Russians are nothing but Brutes.
I guarantee dollars to doughnuts if we take out Russia. I mean, destroyed them, Putin turned into a red mist, and all that followed him the same. Trumps whole thing would fall apart.
Why would Trump/Putin be afraid of looking suspicious? I thought yalls whole thing was that Trump’s status as a Russian spy is clear as day and known to all.
Trump could have easily not gave Javelins to the Ukrainians as not even Obama gave lethal aid to Ukraine!! This alone makes your assertion of him merely trying to avoid suspicion, untenable.
