So, it worth noting that it was often a leftist idea to minimize our military presence around the world and to stop acting as the world police, in the past. It is a money drain and as a result less money is available for domestic programs and spending.

Is this no longer the case? I understand the "Russians win from this" mentality about this and think its a concern for Trump's motivation, but wouldn't this simply force Germany to maybe start ramping up their own military capacity to make up for the decrease in US military presence?

Regardless of what I think of Trump and his intentions, quite frankly I find this hard to be upset about. I think people shouldn't let their hate for Trump make them lose perspective of their ideals.
