WORST PUTIN PUPPET PRESIDENT EVER: Army V Corps Headquarters Will Be First Unit to Move to Poland. “In a Pentagon briefing last Wednesday, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said that the withdrawal of 11,900 troops from Germany, reducing the U.S. presence there to about 24,000 personnel, would be accompanied by a shift in the U.S. and NATO force posture to the Black Sea region, the Baltic states and Poland to counter Russia.”

I forget where I saw it — CNN? — but somebody was headlining the withdrawal from Germany as a “gift to Putin.” Not so much, in the real world.
