Kick them out. We don’t need the Americans to defend 500 million Europeans from 150 million Russians. It’s absurd.
Integrate Europe and smash Moscow.
Feel free to pack your bags, and lose logistical capability.
I like it how they frame that its them doing us a favor when in reality its the opposite.
Good, remove them now.
Fuck it. They are getting way too arrogant. Start the talks on European states integrating again, boost the military spending and fuck the states. Let em sit on their continent and make trades with Russia who’s buying power is laughable at best.
Door’s over there my friend.
If we had a European Army we wouldn’t need to play these games and worry about being blackmailed. In this case allowing US troops to use our soil would become leverage instead of dependence.
and buying american weapons is not forever either
if its a divorce, lets do it RIGHT, with all the bells and whistles and both parties taking all their stuff
US$ denominated trade is also not forever.
Kick them all out.
Putin told him to say this. He loves US out of EU.
Leave. That also includes Grenland.
We need to keep Americans here as long as possible. Their presence alone is buying us time to arm and keeping Putin from overstepping.
Don’t let emotion fool you.
Good riddance, we’ve wanted them out from Spain since they came. “Fuera bases americanas de Rota y de Moron”
We already had Palomares, we don’t need another fuckup from them.
If us troops leave then let them. No one in Europe is forcing them to stay. Right wing American politicians aren’t welcome in Europe, make that forever too.
Isn’t Europe paying for them? Sounds like a good way to find some money for extra defense investments by stopping to pay American soldiers for being here.
Fine, get the f out, you are already unreliable and everyone understood that the moment Russian troops cross any border, US will just stand by or leave. It’s meaningless to have your bases here from now on.
Europe will part ways with US. US will self-isolate and have tariff wars with all major markets. What follows?
What will happen to Wall Street and other stock exchanges, if let’s say Euro will become a more prominent worldwide reserve currency? What will happen to all stock bubbles, all the trillions of $$$ of valuations for companies with imaginary value that never made any profit like ALL the AI, Tesla and hundreds more, and all your shitcoin and other meme stocks?
Also volatile government regimes make a bad environment for investment, and EU is already world leader in attracting investment, ahead of US as it was before 2025. Do you really want to build a new fancy tech company in the current US climate when government ignores laws and constitution, punishes anyone it wants however it wants? Or will they go somewhere more stable and predictable, like Europe?
I think while all this mess is bad for everyone short-term, long-term Europe will be better off than US.
US troops needed to keep order on the Palestine Riviera
Please yes, leave already, we’re tired of being your colony.
Troops can go. The gear can stay.
Why do we have US troops in Europe? Their president is clear that Russia is a friendly misunderstood ally, so why do they want troops here?
Fuck off USA, stop trying to leverage your troops and keep us hostage to your insane bullshit.
I don’t like our secretary of defense, he passed confirmation by one vote, but regardless of who says it, it happens to be true.
Europe needs to spend more on their defense and stop relying on us. Because we’re always one election away from having people like Trump and Hegseth who don’t understand how the world works.
If the USA wants to reduce the influence it has over the world, who are we to stop this?
Can they fuck off already instead of constantly whining about how much we’ll miss them? Feels like Brexit all over again.
He absolutely has a point. Europe needs to pay its own bill. That’s common sense. We must invest 3,5-5%/gdp for a long time and integrate our forces, ASAP.
Bring them home!
Let the Europeans pay for and defend their own crap!
Who is this warning for?
That sounds like great news for EU.
A lot of dreading articles are dominating the news already, but where people see dread I see opportunity. It’s time Europe start moving FAST. The EU budget needs to be increased drastically. I read that it was average 1€ per EU citizen, which is ridiculously low. We can easily increase the budget tenfold. Then start spending and developing hard. More military production and R&D (defence spending), better transport infrastructure, more spending for food and agricultural development, more spending for (higher) education development, equal footing within the EU on better and equal standards of living.
It’s time Europe will de-americanize. First Trump term we thought it was a fluke, now we know it’s a trend.
Forever? Get them out now.
Why is the US suddenly acting like they never wanted their troops stuffed in every nook and cranny across the globe? Your little bases aren’t the only deterrent on the continent. Fuck off if you don’t want to be here.
America let a lot of people down who worked for them In Afghanistan. Does the EU want such an unreliable and selfish partner? Maybe Europe needs to find countries we can rely on better long term.
I’m fairly confident that all those US bases throughout Europe are for Americas benefit. In a great many cases, some have wanted them gone for years.
This is the same policy that the Biden administration was working towards before Russia invaded Ukraine
95% of this article is about how great the relationship between the US and Poland is and how other European countries should follow their example in ramping up defense spending. Clickbait headline.
lol, they will never give up their bases and it’s power projection in Europe just like that. We need to kick them out actively.
Didn’t he also say that the USA would send troops if Putin didn’t commit to reach a peace treaty?
Unbelievable we have to deal with these idiots.
finally a good news
I hope America abandons its vassals in Europe soon.
I guess airbases for US military in Europe are not forever either.
He’s as dumb as he looks. American troops aren’t in Europe to defend Europe. They’re there to defend American interest so yes, they will be there forever
De Gaulle: HAHAHAHAHHA !
Glad to hear. I thought it was them who wanted to stay forever
Okay the leave
Sure, we play the uni reverse card and close their bases in European soil
!remindme 17 days
Telling the rest of the world what we already knew 🤔
They are destroying the government on purpose. They will kneecap their own ability to respond to any crisis in the world, because they do not care if (or they want to? for) China or Russia end up on top. Military bases everywhere is their biggest strength, they a logistics powerhouse.
Everyone should watch the Dark Gotic MAGA: How Tech Billionaires Plan to Destroy America by Blonde Politics.
Goodbye!
All these bases in Europe should be occupied by the European army and we should buy European weaponry instead.
Frankly, having US troops in Europe is a big risk now and does not represent real protection. They should be told to leave ASAP.
Such an anti-American sentiment here. Putin is frothing at the sight of it. Western Europe needs to shut up and build military capability to help eastern Europe before we even should talk about showing the Americans the door. Right now I see people from Germany, Spain and the Netherlands complaining about the Yanks. That’s easy being surrounded by friends. These same people will probably cower at the thought of re-established conscription and increased defence spending.
