So what was America to do? They're gonna say, you can't trust these people because they have such a large Muslim constituency in their cities that either you don't have security around bases, or, in a democracy, they have such political clout they will elect leaders that will leak security to jihadists, or they don't care about our security and they don't like us. So let's get away.
And I think this, if you look at very carefully about what [Donald] Trump is doing, everybody says he shouldn't be pulling … He's basically saying this: There's a pattern to all of this.
South Korea has a very left-wing government. It's been very critical of us and Iran. So he said, well, I don't know why we have 50,000 troops there. I don't understand35,000 maybe now. Maybe we should take some out.
Germany has been very critical of us and wouldn't … And so he said, Wwell, in Poland, let's take, start with five and put them in Poland.
Spain has been very critical. Well, we've helped, we poured billions of dollars in this base, but maybe we should just get out of there.
Same thing with Britain, whether it's [Keir] Starmer or Burnham. That's the same left-wing socialists on reliability, and you can't deal with that government. And there's no sign yet that that government's gonna be gone.
Maybe if they want to invite us back in. But Trump's attitude is that we don't want to spend billions of dollars and take criticism to protecting people who won't protect themselves. And it's, it's got Europe in a tizzy.
If I were the Australian government, left-wing though it is, I would be very worried because they emanate a lot of anti-Americanism, and they are as vulnerable as you could be. They're right next to China.
About right.
Germany's demise is self-inflicted and will one day be studied as the largest self-sabotage of a developed country. While Swiss industry grows, German industrial production contracts. Here are few major reasons for this debacle:
