Army: Esper reverses plan to send active-duty troops home

WASHINGTON (AP) — In an abrupt reversal, Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Wednesday overturned an earlier Pentagon decision to send a couple hundred active-duty soldiers home from the Washington, D.C., region, amid growing tensions with the White House over the military response to the protests.
Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told The Associated Press that the reversal came after Esper attended a meeting at the White House, and after other internal Pentagon discussions. It is unclear if Esper met with President Donald Trump. McCarthy said he believes the change was based on ensuring there is enough military support in the region to respond to any protest problems if needed.
McCarthy said he received notice of the Pentagon order to send about 200 soldiers with the 82nd Airborne’s immediate response force home just after 10 a.m. Wednesday. Hours later, the Pentagon notified him that Esper had reversed the decision.
The move to keep the troops in the region, however, comes as Pentagon leaders continue to insist they do not want to use active-duty forces to help quell the protests. Earlier in the day, Esper had tamped down threats from Trump about sending troops to “dominate” the streets, telling reporters at a Pentagon news conference that he opposes using military forces for law enforcement in containing the current street protests...…….More

Who were those police/troops/troopers in front of the WH yesterday that wouldn’t identify who they worked for?

 

[Harikrish]

Yeah, people would never vote for hope and change.

Americans got the President they deserve.For the first time America has a president who is a bully both on the world stage and at home.America is the epicentre of the CoronaVirus pandemic with near 2 million cases and over 107,000 deaths and they are protesting the death of George Floyd.
Blacks are three times more likely to get infected by CoronaVirus and 6 times more likely to die from it than whites. But the national protest is about George Floyd.
No surprisingly America went to war with weaker countries over much less.
Trump is doing the divide and conquer two step move. Is anyone really serious about finding a cure for Americans?

Senator Jeff Merkley

Thirty one years ago today, China declared martial law in their capital to put an end to protests demanding democratic reforms. Using rifles and tanks, military forces killed and injured thousands in Tiananmen Square to suppress the rights of their people. A timely reminder on this June 4th.

Really.....well I agree but someone admired their work on this day.

Guess who?

“When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak … as being spit on by the rest of the world—“

Trump has reportedly ordered the military to pull thousands of US troops out of Germany

The White House has directed the Pentagon to pull thousands of US troops out of Germany, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing US officials.
The WSJ reported that 9,500 US troops would be removed and a cap of 25,000 would be placed on the number of troops in country. CNN reported the first figure as a tentative figure.
The move comes after repeated criticisms by members of the Trump administration, including the president, targeting Germany for not spending enough on its defense.

President Donald Trump has directed the Pentagon to pull thousands of US troops out of Germany, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

The planned withdrawal would reduce the US troop presence in Germany by 9,500 and cap the total number of US troops in country at 25,000, The WSJ reported, explaining that there are currently 34,500 troops permanently assigned there with potential for increase up to 52,000 if necessary.
A defense official confirmed the report to CNN, but said that 9,500 is a tentative planning figure. A formal movement order has not yet been sent out but is expected in the near future.
US officials told The WSJ Friday that the White House called for the reduction in a memo signed by White House National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien.
US troops in Germany served as part of the deterrence against the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and they continue to serve as a deterrent force against Russia now, serving on the front lines should they be called to defend NATO members.
"This Administration has just lost its mind," Jim Townsend, a senior fellow at the Center for New American Security who previously served the Pentagon doing work on policies pertaining to Europe and NATO, wrote on Twitter Friday. "Putin must be deliriously happy with US troops in America's streets and US troops leaving European streets."
The president has repeatedly criticized America's NATO allies for not spending their fair share on defense, and Germany, in particular, has taken a lot of criticism for spending less than 2% of its GDP on defense. Germany's defense minister said the country would reach this level by 2031, missing the 2024 deadline the allies agreed to.
Former Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell sharply criticized Germany on this point last year, telling German media that "it is actually offensive to assume that the US taxpayer must continue to pay to have 50,000-plus Americans in Germany, but the Germans get to spend their surplus on domestic programs."...…..More
