Die Bundeswehr soll doch wachsen und braucht dafür mehr Stützpunkte. Da wären die der Amis doch super für.

It is really funny that the treat the US has made against Spain is to remove a large military base in either Spain or Germany. The US currently has two facilities in Spain namely some aircraft in Moron and a naval presence in Rota. Moron is a small base for the US. So the only one they might close in Spain is Rota, which is a naval base close to the Strait of Gibraltar. The US Navy will be pissed, if they loose that base.

So the US, if the military can do anything about it, will close a base in Germany.

I would not be surprised if Tesla is currently selling off the overproduction of the last couple months on a loss.

Fine then move US troops out of Spain, Italy and Germany or whatever countries Trump does not like today.

Weil wir von den Simpsons regiert werden:

That still means that the two submarines will launch at different times, making interception easier and if the submarine has to be moved, it can be found and destroyed.

Afghanistan was due to 9/11, which happened very obviously in North America.

Iraq had nothing to do with NATO, besides a lot of NATO countries fighting in the war. However France, Germany, Canada and a few others did not join.

Because the only place you can strike all three countries from with the current French missiles is the Arctic Ocean. That means it is easier to find them and you also know the general direction of a French strike. That matters, because each submarine only carries 16 missiles and all three countries have at least some systems, which can intercept them. Namely Thaad for the US, HQ-19 for China and S-300VM for Russia.

Evgeny Lebedev is the son of a Russian oligarch former KGB spy and Sultan Muhammad Abuljadayel is a member of the Saudi royal family.

His father was KGB. Would the British crown give a title to a Russian agent?

The Tories can be bought and the crown basicaly does what the government says.

The EU already is a defensive alliance. The main issue is the lack of a large enough military command structure. There already is one with the MPCC, but it is only able to command 2500 soldiers, which is obviously not even close to enough. Honestly I would built up a dual structure. A central EU military structure, which contains the highest military command able to coordinate all EU militaries, and some strategic assets like nuclear weapons(and means to use them like missiles, submarines, bombers etc), anti ballistic missile, AWACS, SIGINT and other really expensive strategic assets. Those would be funded by the EU. The member countries then also have their own militaries, which contribute similar to NATO with certain assets.

The good part is that the EU can do things, which are not military in nature, but defense related. Energy is a very obviou field as are sanctions. That makes the EU a much better bases for a follow up NATO than NATO without US.

Ich glaube die Rolle der FDP ist von der AfD übernommen worden.
