Time and time again the US military makes the headlines. Most recently in connection with the Ukraine war. But hardly anyone knows how the US military power can do whatever it wants in Germany to this day. In doing so, it is dragging Germany into a disastrous war dynamic. The US base in Wiesbaden-Erbenheim currently plays a special role in this.
Woman: Not that Putin will send us a bomb here.
Moderator: No more war! Enough of this cruelty and endless suffering. And that is why we are standing here today.
Woman: It’s clever of the Americans.
The majority of the population is probably not aware of the USA’s enormous strategic military presence in Germany.
Man: Otherwise give me Putin’s phone number and I’ll talk to him, too, okay? ...
Woman: If I die full, everything is OK.
MODERATOR / M1: It is common knowledge that the US Army maintains military bases in many countries. Of course also in Germany, like here in Erbenheim near Wiesbaden.
MODERATOR / M2: When you hear “Ramstein”, you probably know that the deadly drone missions in Afghanistan were controlled from there. But would you have known that the US Army maintains at least 100 other military sites on German soil besides Ramstein?
M1: Many of them are not even known to the public.
Welcome to a special programme by Kla.TV!
Military sites in Germany and worldwide.
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 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....
