After the end of the Second World War, the US Army took over and expanded numerous military bases in Germany. Prof. David Vine of the American University in Washington D.C. speaks of 119 (!) military locations; as of 2021. Germany, specifically Stuttgart-Vaihingen, is home to the strategic headquarters of the United States’ European Command (EUCOM) and that of NATO’s supreme allied commander: Supreme Allied Commander Europe. They command all US forces “in 51 predominantly European countries”. Also in Germany, is AFRICOM, the supreme command over US military operations on the African continent with the exception of Egypt and Djibouti, which was established in 2007. No African state made itself available as a location for this. The majority of the population is probably not aware of the enormous strategic military presence of the USA in Germany and it probably has little to do with friendly relations (as is always claimed in the media). Lord Ismay, the first Secretary General of NATO, once said that the aim of the Western defense alliance was “to keep the Americans in, the Russians out and the Germans down”. This sums up Washington’s intention to maintain a permanent presence in a subservient Germany and thus at the same time to adopt a hostile position towards Russia. Worldwide, the US maintains over 750 (!!!) military bases and has more than 173,000 soldiers in 159 countries. By comparison, Russia and China each have less than 20 foreign bases. Up to 2019 this cost the American and German taxpayer 51.5 billion US dollars per year just for the construction and maintenance of the infrastructure used abroad and another 150 billion US dollars per year for the bases including personnel. According to the United Nations, only one fifth of this sum – i.e. 30 billion US dollars – would be enough to end world hunger.... Historical review Since the end of World War II, our thinking in Germany has been shaped to accept the USA as a necessary organizing power that protects the world from the threat of Russia and, since 9/11, from the danger of terrorism. Germany is becoming more and more actively involved in the military actions of NATO, the Pentagon’s strategic arm in Europe.

As far as I know, America never signed a peace treaty with Germany. Our country was doing well before the Ukraine war, until our politicians imposed sanctions on Russia and sold our country to foreign countries. It's a shame that my country is being so humiliated by German politicians (who have sold their honor and soul).
