After Angela Merkel was reelected chancellor in Germany, the new government decided to request that the US withdraw its nukes from German territory.

“But Germany has an agreement with NATO for stationing American troops in Germany,” Uta Zapf, a member of German Parliament’s Arms Control Subcommittee, told RT. “It has been reduced a lot, but they still are on the ground. It is a framework of NATO. I don’t think that anybody will touch it.”

When we try to have some kind of coherence in that European-Union by choosing a president and some kind of a secretary of state, we still have so many thousands US soldiers on our soil and hundreds of military and spying bases. Our economies, our institutions and our communications are spyied on 24 hours a day by a "friend". Rather strange is not it ? This amalgam of royal republics, mafiosis republics and decadent monarchies is a joke and, unfortunatly, still will be for a long time. Very Sorry, Future European Generations. Go see what is going on, on the russian side; you may be surprised ! Beside Russia is underpopulated; there is plenty of room...Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin
