The U.S. pull out 10,000 forces from Germany/Carlos Pueblo

Trump announces that he is pulling out 10,000 of the U.S. forces in Germany for the retaliation of less than 2% of German GDP spending as a guiding line for the European defense. He is going to relocate half of the troupe to Italy and half back to the States. The German authority doesn't say very much about it. Angela Merkel says nothing. I am very puzzled.

I envy the U.S. strategy toward Europe after the War. Starting from the military occupation in Germany both in prevention of another war and to protect the German Nation. The distinguish German do unify the East Germany and the West Germany peacefully and eventually. Germany is still allowing the U.S. to station heavily in their nation to keep peace and maintain such huge U.S. force. Like Japan, Germany pays all the cost for the U.S. troupe in their country. At the beginning, Trump wanted to move the 10,000 troupe to Poland and I did wonder how Poland could afford the cost. Now, he moves half of the withdrawal troupe to Italy and half back home and I must ask if Italy will pay the full cost of the U.S. troupe as Germany; furthermore, will it be cheaper for the U.S. to pay another half home in the U.S.?

As a private citizen and observer of the politic, I don't think that is a smart move. For instance, both Bushes move U.S. troupe from Germany to invade Iraq twice and who pays all of those years cost maintaining such big force? Trump is stupid and what about his deputies? No body figures it out for him the math? German have been very aggressive all of those years in history. They have been involved in almost every decisive change of the politic in the Europe, such as the fall of the Roman Empire, the domination of the holly Roman Empire, the termination of several European Empires and initiation of two world wars, etc. After WWII, German pay more attention to the peace and never attempt to be great again. They pay more attention to rebuild their nation in every field and have no major argument with the rest of the world; therefore, there is a peace in Europe for 75 years and I believe that the U.S. troupe stationing in Germany play a major role.

Recently, I have had some luxury to visit this great nation several times. Each time when I passed by a city, I would do some history reading of the city and I am very impressed. German and build the big cruise ship and I believe that they can build the carrier; they can build the best of vehicles and of course they can build tanks and jet fighters. German are very smart and advanced in science and technology and  they are not interested in building those of fancy toys. They like to use their precious percentage of their GDP to improve their people's happiness. I hope Biden will reverse such stupid decision of withdrawal when he takes over the presidency.
