Hello Gregory,

Of course it can be done. But who is going to pay for it? Will it be all right
with you if the US tax payer pays the price?

With allies like that, who need enemies?

 GD>  Iran deal.

Whatever. Point is that the US can not be trusted to honour "a deal is a deal".

 Mv>> on steel and aluminium. Being under the thumb of Trump may be

That of course should have been "Being under the thumb of Trump may be
 Mv>> worse than being under the thumb of Putin".

 GD> what of our workers in these fields of aluminum and steel industry.

Whatever. Point is that the US has started a trade war against the rest of the
world. Including its allies. A partner that breaks deals whenever it considers
it in its advantafe to do so is an unreliable partner.

 Mv>>  GD> Would you like to see a German Military in it's place?
 Mv>>
 Mv>> Yes!

And I want the US military and their nukes out of "De Peel" as well.

 GD> Then contact the German Government, tell them that you want the

I can guess. They will probably tell the same story as the Dutch Government.
"We have a deal with the US about these military basis. A deal is deal..."...


Cheers, Michiel
