As an American, it's always funny to read how the defeated country attempts to justify and rationalize their defeat... It was never Trump's intention to pull US troops from Germany. It was threat to leverage your government to step up and pay their fair share for NATO. In 1945, US troop presence in Germany was to check Russian aggression in western Europe. It has since evolved into a strategic presence to quell Russian aggression in the region as well as the maintenance of our international defense and economic interests. We continue to exercise that right because WE WON the war...! You seem to confuse "occupation" with the concept of defeat and unconditional surrender..
Not too many nations throughout world history have defeated an enemy and gave them the luxury of getting their country back.. Germany, Japan, and Italy should be kissing the USA's ass for perpetuity.
As stated above, the main US objective is not your protection. You still enjoy that protection nonetheless whether you choose to acknowledge it or not... Our interests are for our own defense and economic interests in the region as is our right as the victor of war.
Your assertion of the cover up of "war crimes" is absolutely hilarious considering the genocide of millions. Your hypocrisy is truly laughable.
As flawed as it is, if it wasn't for NATO, Every country in western Europe would be speaking Russian today. It's fairly arrogant of you to sleep under the blanket of protection that NATO (and the USA in particular) has provided, especially when you have not been paying your fair share for it.
Yep. Hollywood falsely portrayed the attack on Pearl Harbor, the D-Day invasion, and what the allies discovered at Auschwitz, Dachau, Arbeitsdorf, etc.. LOL.. If I was German, I suppose I would avoid talking about WW2 history as well...
You are at least partly correct that the winner gets to write the history. It's one of the spoils of war isn't it?
A bit late for this declaration, no? It seems as though you have already offered your "German" view on this topic quite freely. Your country acted as the aggressor and invader responsible for the genocide of millions people, then you lost, and now you are upset that you have to live with the results of that defeat? That type of arrogance amazes me... LOL..
So are you saying that the Soviet Union was not entitled to celebrate their defeat of Germany because they outnumbered Germany 10:1? Is this what you are saying? If so, maybe Germany should have considered those odds before rolling their Panzers into Russia during Operation Barbarossa... Just saying...
