He's not resigning over Trump. 33 years he's been in govt, he's just retiring. And probably to avoid something |

Estonia is a small country with a small population. But it is an awesome little country. And unlike most NATO member nations, they actually pull their share of the load. Plus, their troops have nice camo uniforms and use the Galil.
If the nations of western Europe put forth the effort of Estonia, Europe would have a robust military more than capable of dealing with threats like Russia even without our help. |

Now he wants to take our troops out of Germany? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/us-assessing-cost-of-keeping-troops-in-germany-as-trump-battles-with-europe/2018/06/29/94689094-ca9f-490c-b3be-b135970de3fc_story.html?utm_term=.3d5082d8d6b7 The Pentagon is analyzing the cost and impact of a large-scale withdrawal or transfer of American troops stationed in Germany, amid growing tensions between President Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, according to people familiar with the work.
The effort follows Trump’s expression of interest in removing the troops, made during a meeting earlier this year with White House and military aides, U.S. officials said. Trump was said to have been taken aback by the size of the U.S. presence, which includes about 35,000 active-duty troops, and complained that other countries were not contributing fairly to joint security or paying enough to NATO. Word of the assessment has alarmed European officials, who are scrambling to determine whether Trump actually intends to reposition U.S. forces or whether it is merely a negotiating tactic ahead of a NATO summit in Brussels, where Trump is again likely to criticize U.S. allies for what he deems insufficient defense spending. |

Only a handful of their combat aircraft are mission capable. They only possess enough tanks today to field one heavy division (or less). Yet they are the wealthiest and most populous western European nation. As long as we are willing to stay there and provide their security, what incentive will they have to change their behavior? Take those troops currently stationed in Germany and send them to other NATO member nations worthy of our support. Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Romania are all making an effort to meet or exceed the 2% of GDP spending NATO suggests. These countries are far less wealthy than Germany. If they can do it, so can the Germans. If it takes a U.S. president that has the balls to call them on it, then so be it. |

Attached FileThe US wouldn’t sell M4s when it was time/necessary to get 5.56 rifles though,Bush didn’t want to upset his little buddy but that is another matter. The Galils will almost certainly be replaced by 416s soon,though I was hoping the BREN or MSBS would be picked. If Russia had decided to simply leave the last of its forces in 1994,Estonia would just be another Abkhazia,Transnistria or at best Armenia. I’m glad they blew that chance but I’m more glad that paranoia and kleptocracy keeps Russia relatively weak when by all rights they should be doing quite well now. |
