Obama Administration Announces Plans to Cut US Troop Presence in Germany

Two readers sent me stories on the following:

Thousands of US soldiers to leave Germany

The US military will withdraw thousands of soldiers from Germany as the American military takes half of its troops out of Europe as part of a forces redeployment to focus more on the Middle East and Asia.

American Defence Secretary Leon E. Panetta said two of the four combat brigades currently in Europe would be moved. That is between 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers in total. http://www.thelocal.de/national/20120113-40099.html

The above article is consistent with long-held Church of God beliefs related to the USA and Germany. The announcement by the Obama Administration is telling Germany to build up its own military forces as it will get less direct assistance from US troops. And Germany will get the message.

The consequences will not be good.
