Breitbart Europe: The German government has come out in opposition to President Donald Trump’s plan to bring American troops home from Afghanistan, arguing that putting an end to America’s longest war would be too “hasty”.
Members of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government said that President Trump’s planned reduction of the American military presence in Afghanistan from 4,500 troops to 2,500 troops by January 15th would endanger peace negotiations between the Taliban and the Afghan government.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said: “It shouldn’t be taken for granted that these two sides, after decades of conflict, are sitting at the negotiating table to begin talking to one another in a constructive way.”
“That’s why we shouldn’t add even more hurdles, which a rash exit from Afghanistan would lead to,” he said.
Germany’s Defence Minister, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, argued that there should not be a reduction in NATO forces in the country if a peace agreement is not reached, saying: “As before, that is the basis we’re working off of.”
The German military joined the coalition efforts in Afghanistan following the September 11th terror attacks. At its height, Germany deployed 5,000 soldiers to the South Asian country, but now has approximately 1,250 soldiers deployed. read more
Let her send a couple of brigades.
If the US pulling out will endanger the peace negotiations then they are not serious about peace to begin with.
Remember when we beat your asses in the 40s? Now sit down and shut up.
F*ck you Merkel. You’re the one letting moslems into your country, don’t expect us to clean up the immigrant pool. Screen your own terrorists/rapists. Take responsibility.
Hey Germany.
I have an idea.
Stick to making over priced automobiles and shut the hell up.
Let’s also not dwell on your past since 1914. You’ve not been exactly helpful regarding world peace.
Heil Fuhrer Merkin.
I might add that in spite of the fact that Germany is a primo duty assignment for US troops, a complete withdrawal from that nation after 75 years might be overdue.
Explain away the economic impact to your business people Frau Merkel.
How you fixed for pretzels, Frau?
The United States spent $732B on defense, Germany spent $49B on defense. Clean up your own neighborhood. We’re going to need our troops, to round up Democrats.
Wth does she get off.
And still behind on NATO obligations.
I just always wanted to throw in one of those phony spam comments.
Ask me how I made $1.50 in real estate. Send me $1.50 and I’ll tell you how you make $1.50.
Do it now.
Didn’t Trump say some would be left. The number should be no higher than other NATO countries have.
Angela should stick to making sandwiches in the kitchen…..
Screw Germany!
“we” shouldnt pullout! Their rules of engagement specify they cant be more than 1 klick from a haufbrahouse. Duckduckgo kraut casualties in Asscrackistan and many are accidental discharges of their weapons. Old Commie…damn I hope the Trumpster pulls thru this election fraud and moves our troops to Poland and Czech Rep.
Do the horses in Germany whinny in terror when you say Frau Merkel? Nobody’s scared of the Krauts anymore, they’re not as bad and as worthless as the French are yet but are getting closer everyday in their surrender to Islam.
@PHenry
I’m in, as soon as my check clears from the Nigeria widow.
Frau Merkel,
Thank you for your expert military opinion. Were did you gain military expertise?
Or are you just venting out your exhaust pipe? I suspect the latter.
@Cmn¥¥guy

The Nigerian widow is not related to Lorena Bobbit I hope when you mentioned something about being cut off.
“argued that there should not be a reduction in NATO forces in the country”
Easy peasey fix – just send in more NATO forces… on YOUR dime.
Fuck off!

Frau Adolf Merkel
your political party should change its name to NDSAP National German Socialist Workers Party. It’s more fitting.
