Auf wiedersehen
: Well, somebody likes us in Germany:
Amid speculation the U.S. might drastically reduce its troops and their families based in Germany, the mayors of 13 German cities that host American bases traveled to Washington to plead the personnel be allowed to stay…
But the decision is proving to be a nightmare for the mayors of 13 German cities and towns, which host large American bases. They argue the pulling out of American troops, originally stationed there after the Second World War as one of the occupying powers, will have major social and economic repercussions in Germany.
Well, you can’t have your kuchen and eat it too, meine Freunde. Germany needs to make up its collective mind.
