How American soldiers ended up in Europe – and why it’s bad for both the US and EU if they leave.
US president Donald Trump is talking about withdrawing more than 5000 US soldiers from Germany. He is also suggesting that their numbers will be reduced in Spain and Italy.
This raises the question: how did US forces end up in Europe in the first place? And why should it trouble European countries if they leave?

So I'm bored turning a part on my lathe & looking at a box on my wall that holds various cutting tools. Many hundreds of times I've seen the writing that starts out "Bendix" & I'm like yawn, brake parts. For the first time I read the whole thing: "Bendix Telemetering Equip. To W.S.P.G." OMG! In the late 1940s this box contained the world's first telemetry equipment used in captured German V2 rockets that were being tested at White Sands Proving Grounds, NM!

US clarifies Project Freedom is not an escort mission for commercial vessels
The United States has officially clarified the nature of the Project Freedom mission in the region. According to a U.S. official, this operation is not designed to provide direct escort for commercial vessels. Washington has thus dispelled assumptions that Project Freedom functions as a military escort for civilian ships. The clarification comes amid rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. The American side emphasized that the mission has other objectives that do not include the direct protection of the merchant fleet.
