Honest question of anyone, because I don't know - did the East and West Germans hate each other? It seems like they reunified relatively easily but that may have been long in the cards and the wall coming down was just the last little bit. I'm not familiar with that history. I hope the Koreans can end up the same, anyway.

It did feel risky for sure and I, for one, was thinking WTF when he was yelling fire and fury.
You are automatically suspect for giving one ounce of credit to President Trump, though. The correct answer from your side appears to be ZERO.

It sure would be nice to bring our people home, wouldn't it? But of course, it will be a complete surprise to us. We had no idea this was happening and had no part in it and President Trump has not consistently stated his objective to limit our overseas bases. That is the reality of some people.
