If the US military is not talking to the German military then what is going to happen to the bases on German soil? If the Pentagon is being a bunch of peculate children then why tolerate American presents in Germany?

what is going to happen to the bases on German soil
Last time we publically heard about them, the US had stopped paying the people there and suggested that they go and ask Germany for social support instead...
I haven't heard that! Do you have a source that I can read?
They'd simply go to war with Germany if they tried to kick out the soldiers, I fear. The US military is the proverbial 800-lb gorilla, and like the joke goes, it will sit wherever it damn well pleases under Trump.
What are you gonna do, tell the most powerful land and air and sea military on Earth "hey, you need to not be here"? What are you gonna do if they say "no"? Sure, you can declare war on them (because that WOULD constitute an invasion). Then what?
The US has abandoned NATO, it just hasn't announced it yet.
Is there a reason for this? Is Trump trying to punish Germany for some perceived slight?
