Context is everything.
49,000 tropps in Germany.
5000 troops going to make a massive difference?
It has been lower before.
Trump wanted to do this in first term. The planning for this has been going on for 12 months.
Will take another 12 months to happen.
Despite the spin, not related to recent recent German statement.

@SuperMoosie@mastodon.au @copter_chief@mstdn.party Yup, context is everything. So when you are trying to negotiate with an enemy & the balance is between armed conflict & a treaty. While trying to show your strength cards is not the time to withdraw troops from the Theater. Australia? I remember being put under the table while drinking your "beer" with troops that looked like they were chosen to fit their extra large fatigues not in the normal, clothes to fit the troops. I've wondered about that since. 8*) 1968
